that was utter, utter rubbish and I reckon it's a good time for me to just drop the show, walk away, then read wikipedia in a few years.

totally laugh free, terrible script, awful succession of sub family guy callbacks and new clip cut aways, hopelessly unrealistic situations MARSHALL DRUNK IS SO and TED HAS TO SHOUT ALL HIS LINES because he's actually really, really, dull and unfunny and not really even likable and frankly, by now, who cares who he marries, the poor cow. Oh and Lilly had a baby. She's still an idiot and a tedious bore she's stilll nowhere near good enough for marshall. SHE is the reacher and MARSHALL is the settler here. Anyway, baby trope, yawn.

haha misdirection... we fooled you. Right, good one, half-time change...but it really only works when you actually really care and for me it's just too late for that. They've let the central concept drag on so long that it's polluted the show and overshadowed the development of what might have been a half-decent set of characters. Is it really too much to hope for that for a short run of episodes we might not have to put up with this now absurd Barney/Robin/Ted love triangle. I mean, who would even be friends in that situation, really, eww, constantly trying to fall in love with or screw or have kids with each other.

I really can't find much if anything positive to say about it. Time to go. Plenty of other great telly to watch.


I approve of this rant :^_^:

Agreed, the show started off well, its first few seasons were good but now it's pure ****. The only reason I'm still watching it is because I've already watched 7 seasons so I may as well finish off the whole thing, next season is supposed to be the last I heard so one more season should be bearable.
Thought the finale was really cheesy.
tesco value cheese. no substance

Seriously? Jesus Christ. They've spent so long with this plot you'd think they'd at least carry it on long enough to get to know the mother, see them marry and have one or two of the kids. Otherwise it'll just be a huge anticlimax.

It could just be a rumour about it being the last season and I doubt it will be though.

True but the kids are born in 2015, I think we figured. So they only have 3 years for Ted to meet the mother, for them to have kids and likely marry. So they have to meet and soon! I just hope they don't choose to leave it until the last minute so that the only possible solution would be to have Ted knock the mother up accidentally not long after meeting her. That would be bad.

I really want to stop watching this utter tripe because quite frankly, it doesnt deserve any second of my life.....
Original post by Mister Dead
but i've invested 7 seasons of my life into it and like a gambler down to his last few pounds i'm going to keep feeding it in, in the hope it pays out. It won't though, will it.

Sad. I am a sad case.
It was a pretty good double episode. So happy that Robin is (probably) marrying Barney. :biggrin:
