    “Leave Blair alone or I’ll spill the beans on what happened in Santorini” is simply the Gossip Girl version of “call of your techno boy toy or I’ll tell the cops what your mom keeps in the lasagna box”

    I know Mike is not the one who started this long-form recap trend and even though more and more people are doing these kinds of videos recently, Mike's impeccable blend of season/episode analyses, memes, trivia, pop culture references, music playlist, creative twists (GG magazine covers) and his own brand of humor (The loft?! The Brooklyn poverty loft?!!) makes me come back to his videos over and over again. The replayability is insane. It's not just watching a random youtube vid; it's an entire (Mike'sMic) experience.
    As a 30+ year old man who never watched any of these shows when I was younger, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Top-tier entertainment. Keep on doing what you're doing. We live for these. You're very underrated (less than 1M subs?? How?).
    Side-note: I know the girlies will go absolutely feral if Mic made a patreon and post behind the scenes and early access vids there.

They really carried the show and made it the it drama it was. Wouldn't have continued watching without them. Their growth together was good and he never tried changing her unlike the other guys she was with. I don't think a tv couple needs to be healthy but that's just my opinion.
