Catterjune Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Show starts great. Takes a bit of a dip in places, then completely nosedives after Shelter Island. As time went on, the bad episodes began to outweigh the good episodes. The plots got worse, the characters got worse, and the show is pretty much 100 percent stalling to get to the story of how Ted met the mother. I know some people are gonna say "It's about the journey, not the destination" but the journey itself is dragging hard. Basically, the biggest problem nowadays is that the character arc of Marshall and Lily is pretty much over. They're happily married with a kid on the way and Marshall's in his dream job. There's nowhere to move from there. Sure, it's fun to live in a Happily Ever After, but not nearly as fun to watch. There's no conflict, no drama. Which is pretty damn weird considering Lily's mounted a million billion dollars in debt, but that's besides the point. Ted's had the life long dream of being married with kids and as far as anyone can tell, he's not taking any steps into making the future he described a reality, or the ones that he takes are few and far between. He buys his future house in one episode 2 or 3 years ago and... he doesn't live in it, doesn't renovate it, heck judging by last week's episode he's not even living there when his daughter is born. Robin allegedly becomes some world famous newsreporter, but she's not taking any steps towards that goal either. She literally had to have Ted talk her out of that coinflip bimbo job.

Catterjune Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 The Puzzles bar episode was terrible too. Barney's gonna be hugely disrespectful of Ted's feelings and try to bang girls in his bedroom even though he explicitly told him not to? And Ted's gonna behave like a doucher by discussing Ulysees (I think it was Ulysees) with drunken people on New Years Eve? These guys have been flanderized to a ridiculous degree that removes the few redeeming qualities they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Avenger Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 HIMYM was really good the first few seasons! But this current season hasn't been as fun. With everyone getting serious with family and relationships, it's just not the same awesome group as before :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
