...my new favorite episode! A friend sent it to me today and I absolutely love it! The way Jo is there for Blair in this episode, oh I just love it! I've been waiting to see this episode and I'm so glad that I have!

I'm glad that you had a chance to see this episode. It is one of my favorites.

Is that the Blair gets in a car accident one?

I like it and I don't. I really really like the way it portrays the Jo/Blair friendship a lot. It shows that despite the making fun of each other aspect they really do go to each other and trust each other probably more than anyone else in the world. I also liked the scene where Jo went to Natalie and Tootie for advice and they were all shocked since it wasn't something she would normally do.

The only thing I don't like is how it's never mentioned again. After that episode, Blair is automatically back to normal. Shouldn't there have been more?

It should also be remebered that this was also one of the last episodes of the series. There really wasn't much time to really go into it again.

It wasn't THE last. The point was a bit unrealistic that Blair would be healed and perfect again--nary a bandage the next week.

This episode was pure stunt. NBC strategicly placed this ep against the winter olympics from Calgary, Canada - which beat FOL by 11 million viewers.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I like that episode well enough but it rings a little false just because it kind of comes off as a ratings stunt. It's FOL, so they're not going to kill a main character off but that was about as close as they were going to come.

You know this is just TV and those are just storylines that they think people might enjoy. Who would really for Blair to just completely after one episode?
And there's no telling how much time passed between those two episodes.

The following week's ep of 'Till Marriage Do us Part' was also a stunt. the Olympics beat that ep by over 18 million. Ad rates were measured during this period - NBC had to pull out the big guns to minimalize Olympic damage to their schedule. FOL lost only 3 ratings races in their 9th season, it killed the competition almost every Sat night.

This episode is undoubtably a stunt.

Geez, why does everyone have to be so darn picky? Who cares if "Less Than Perfect" was a ratings stunt? All that matters is that it is a great episode. We're talking about a sitcom here, not developing a cure for cancer.

Limit a valid topic and kill the momentum why don't you dax. I think we've exhausted the general 'I love/dislike an episode' topic to death.
