Hellobee Boards

I have loved this show since the start, but I'm so flipping annoyed with this last season, it is awful in my mind. I haven't watched last nights episoe (I'm still pissed with last week's awful episode.) I feel like they are ruining the series with this season, the no forward movement is awful & how it's not even ending where it all started: the apartment/McClarines, ect. Just dissapointed so far.

@LuLu Mom: I agree. The concept of the whole season around 3 days for the wedding was cute, but I am not loving it. I used to love this show and now it is ok.
@Mamaof2: I hated that too. Felt like they brought it up to just create drama. Who do you think she went off in the car with?

@Smurfette: I think she called that girl from the train (Ted's future wife). She will change her mind, come back for the wedding, and that's how Ted will meet the mother.

That's my prediction!

@Smurfette: @nana87: @rahlyrah: have better thoughts than me. I totally thought it was the Captain, but now I bet it is Ted's wife. That's a very likely explanation.

I love HIMYM, but this season isn't the best. I do love seeing the flashes forward so you see more of Ted and his wife's interactions, but I feel like a lot of episodes are just filler. Like @LuLu Mom:, I was peeved about that one. It was just a total waste of time.

I love this show, but I am two episodes behind and I'm really really dreading watching them. I heard about the yellowface on one of the two episodes and I really really don't want to watch it...!! I'm so afraid it will ruin all the great episodes I've enjoyed over the years. Sigh.

I love this show and have for years, but I wasn't expecting this season to be great. And so far it's proving not to be, but I am really enjoying the wrapping up of loose ends. I actually don't mind the whole season taking place over 3 days, but I do wish it were still as funny as it used to be. I'll be happy if everything wraps up well in the end, regardless.

Ugh, this season is driving me crazy. I'm kind of glad the show is finally ENDING! I do like the flash forwards, since they aren't letting us really see Ted and the Mother's relationship, so I'm glad we get to see glimpses of it. And I HATE what's going on with Marshall and Lily. And really - would she REALLY leave without Marvin?? I mean, I know that she knows Marshall will take care of him, but really???? I find that hard to believe. Though maybe she knows she's just leaving for a few hours and will be back and didn't want to wake him??

@LuLu Mom: I agree, I loved HIMYM for a long time but this season is SO BAD. Last weeks episode was the very worst though. None of it was funny and none of it made sense. I would have rather they not even aired that one because it set a tone that the writers really don't care.

I really disliked last week's. It was just bad. Lowest point for the series, I think.

But I liked last night's episode. I thought it was one of the better ones of the season (but that's not really saying much).

*Spoilers*

I thought the fight between Marshall and Lily was very real-world. I was angry that Marshall took the judgeship without consulting Lily first. I feel like if he had AT LEAST called her first (surely whoever was offering the appointment could have waited 24 hours for an answer so he could talk to his wife?) that she wouldn't have reacted as badly as she did. I would be pissed, too.

And though I thought her saying that she had never been that selfish was opening a can of worms, even though I'm torn about the SF thing. She did run off, yes, but she had wanted to do long-distance and Marshall said no, all or nothing. Which I get, because it was a few months before their wedding? But I thought it was horribly mean of him to throw that in her face.

I guess that's one of the things relationships boil down to, though....knowing that your SO has the ability to cut the deepest, to be the most hurtful to you, and trusting them not to do it. I don't blame Lily for leaving, but then I know she'll be back (as we saw in the flash-forwards of her at the wedding and of her and Marshall in the future). I was thinking it was either Ranjit or the Captain that picked her up.

Side note: I love the Mother. I want her to be my BFF. 8 years of build-up to her and I'm not disappointed.

@mrs. wagon: Skip the episode from two weeks ago. It LITERALLY adds nothing and is not worth your time. Just watch this week's episode.

@Mrs. Blue: @lovehoneybee: haha. Thanks for the full recap of the episode "Marshall slaps Barney"... sounds like that's ALL that happened. :T

Love this show too, and I'm hit or miss on seeing the episodes for this season, and am not the most pleased with it. I really wish it's been a little more exciting.

@rahlyrah: well I am baised...but it was Penny! DH and I were pumped.

Did anyone else catch the Knuffle Bunny reference last night? I was cracking up

@rahlyrah: I loved this episode!!

@rahlyrah: my thoughts exactly!

I haven't fully processed this episode yet, but I loved it. I teared up but also laughed a lot.

@meganmp: "So your breakfast doesn't need to sing a cappella. Love, Max"

@fussygal: I've thought that off and on too. The only reason I think overall not is that the kids don't seem super interested? More like Ted was like "Here, sit down, I'm going to make you listen to this long story." I feel like if she was dead than they'd be more interested in hearing about it? That's what I'm telling myself anyway!

Ahh...am I the only one who doesn't like who plays the mom? I just thought she would be so..."wow" but this girl seems so ordinary!
