re: HIMYM The Final Season

Bad episode. Robin flying away might have been the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

They were pretty much saying for that episode - Let's take our successful comedy, take out all the funny parts, and replace them with disgustingly corny ****.

I liked the past girlfriends calling Ted out on his crap, but otherwise the episode sucked.

correct

i mean the earlier seasons stuff.

also, if she's that willing to call off her wedding, then she probably wasn't ready to get wed anyway

Will there be some sort of huge "eruption" / fight

that seems the most likely, although maybe not between people we think it'll be.



Also I have a really dumb question, but I'm not nearly as "into" the show I guess as some of yall. Will Ted meeting the mother on the train be like the last minute or two of the whole show, or will they show us how they began talking, started dating, how things progressed, all that stuff?

I know through flash forwards we've already seen some important stuff like him proposing at the light house, but I'm just curious if they're going to be real sticklers on the "how i MET" part of if they'll gives us some more deets after.

little late but I finally watched last weeks episode



frick this show. they just captured all the stupid shite they've been doing for the past 3 years and shoved it into one damn episode

More Ted pining over Robin? OH YAY I BET HES REALLY OVER HER THIS TIME

Lily turns it around on Marshall and just count it up all episode? shocking I tell you!

They just cant let the Ted and Robin thing die. You spend so much time this season telling us why he loves the mother so much...and then everytime right after he starting whining about Robin like they were meant to be

Even the retarded scene where Robin floats away, they still had to show a cut after the credits of them reminiscing about the first date. WOO KEEP THAT DOOR OPEN AGAIN. The writers just don't know what else to make episodes I guess. You finally have established the mother as a likeable character and you chose to spend an entire episode with Robin and Ted watching the sun rise while her fiancé is AWOL. like dude....

You know teds going in that river for the locket, and you know hes going to have 2-3 more "no I want Robin" moments before the last episode ends with...oh yeah I got with that other girl.

Don't even get me started on the Lily part of the episode

Ted will confess his love for robin on his death bed.

I am now under the belief that because they cant let him and Robin go, that his feelings for the mother are questionable. No way can he be sooooooooooooo in love with her, and her be absolutely perfect for him if he cant give it up with Robin when she is about to get fricking married to his best friend.

Am I incorrect in my assumption that the whole scene with Robin floating away was a metaphor for Ted finally letting her go? Did they just really do a shitty job with that?

Obviously, Ted settled for the mother.

He just got married to fit in with his friends.

Anyone mind giving me some cliff notes on what has been going on regarding this show the past 2-3 seasons? I don't even remember where I left it. It was appointment TV for me at one time and then I found it to be a chore to go back and watch episodes on the DVR. As much as I tried to keep watching I just couldn't handle it anymore. Though I am curious to see what transpired. Maybe if I have a clue as to where the show is today I will watch the finale. This and show and Weeds are the only 2 shows I just bailed on completely.

i don't know how many seasons they are currently in. but i feel the show declined bc of having to fill out seasons. i think if the show was two seasons shorter possibly 3 it could be better. if this current storyline of the wedding weekend was a half season and not a whole, it would be better. there's some nuggets of goodness but much of it has to be mined lately.
