I liked the premiere; feels just like the best parts of season 8. The only part that seemed forced was the scenes with Marshall which seems to be a penchant of the series as of late.

Spoiler!


Yeah, I'm a fanboy. dealwithit.gif

Wow.

This season is going to suck. A lot.

This feels like the last season of the office; it'll be a weekly battle to get through it.

Interesting approach to have all the cast meet the mother before Ted does. I'm also intrigued that old Ted is supposed to make some appearances. I wonder if there's a big twist ending we're not ready for.

I really like the mother character. Really hard character not to like. Problem is, the show just isn't as clever as it used to be. The plot lines yesterday felt way too contrived. They should have taken the hint from Breaking Bad and wrapped it up while the iron was hot.

You mean back in Season 7?

The final scene where Ted was sitting with future wife at the bar in the hotel....after Ted has his nice little speech even my wife (who loves the show) turns and says "That's was really gay."

Looking forward to the end so that I can be pissed off about all the time I wasted watching it. If not for Barney, I would have ended a long time ago.

The last few seasons have basically drawn out the plot line for Marshall and Lily settling in to parenthood and Barney settling out of a bachelor. Two plot lines that really kill what makes those characters great. That was the point where the show should have started wrapping up. And I still hate the Zooey plotline. What the **** was that? Just another chick to throw in the mix to buy time that did nothing at all to move the story forward.

I actually bet the series wraps up on a strong note. I think they've had the ending in mind for a really long time. It's not like Lost where they rushed it along. From what I've read, old Ted will be featured and the wedding weekend should end several episodes before the finale. If that's the case, there's a ton of potential for how they present the next 20 years in just a few episodes.

And I bet they're saving one last twist for the end.

I wish I could explain the drawing out of plotlines by the writers being unsure of renewal.. But it.. doesn't fit. Orrr maybe it does.

S6 set the trend of having really good episodes with ones that fall flat, and also the repercussions of ending Barney/Robin in the previous season. If Carter/Bays intended for those two to end up together and therefore the reason why Ted meets the Mother, then it should've been set in stone they'd restart their relationship by the end of Season 5. Season 6 *should* be what we're seeing now.


Blah. It's annoying. I look at things through rosier glasses because I started watching reruns of the show on TV in 2011 then Netflix'ed to the point I caught up by the time "Symphony of Illumination" aired. I don't have the fatigue that most tenured fans have had at this point, but at the same time I can see just how much some episodes have done nothing to advance the plot. (IE the entirety of the Zoe arc, the Quinn/Barney Arc, Lily and Marshall's relocation to Long Island, most eps of Season 8's first half)

I only ever watched this show because Neal Patrick Harris is so funny and Alyson Hannigan is so hot, and that was only from stumbling across it while switching channels before I got Netflix.

The three things I think are the most unsettling/confusing:

The final three episodes of The Office made that entire season worthwhile.

I'm hoping it's the same for HIMYM.
