HIMYM discussion

[BlackCanary]

Are you caught up on this season?

I hate Ted so much. Like, I am irrationally angry over a fictional character. Fucking Ted, he's such a douche. 

[BlackCanary]

Josh Radnor. I like the actor, but Ted just needs to stop. 

Fun fact: NPH and Josh were in a play where they were a couple. The Paris Letter.

[LeggsBenedict]

I've only watched like three episodes ever and even I hate Ted.

Have you seen his movie Liberal Arts? He's adorable with facial hair.

I have not, I'll check it out.

Fun triva :Jason segal had no idea what was going to happen. When lily comes out of the cab to tell Marshall, he was only told to react when she said "it", which was the last word of her line.

I've watched those episodes at least a dozen times and I still get tears.

[nursewife]

I have an NPH obsession due to that show. I'm obsessed with him and his twins. I dream of hanging out with them in their backyard while our twins play. Yum, I'm crazy !

[Waffles]

I absolutely love that series.

That gave me chills! I will have to find a way to watch that ep again. I was ok with Ted in the beginning but his douchiness has come forth a lot in the last two years. Marshall and Lily are definitely my favorite characters though. Jason Segal is hilarious!

I think they've written themselves into a corner for this season (since at one point they thought it was going to be their last - which it should have been!!!). IDK how they're going to avoid having us meet The Mother in this season's finale.

Re: Marshall's dad dying ... I'm really glad that that episode aired a few years before my own dad died, otherwise I think I would've locked myself in the bathroom for a week to cry.

Yes!  While I LOVE the show.....it is time for it to end. 


The mother better be LEGEN.............




WAIT FOR IT...............







DARY!

Right? I have no idea how they're going to find an actress to live up to all this hype. I was totally O.K. with the idea of them ending the series by just showing the back of The Mother, or showing her face but not having her talk, because I hated the thought of casting someone unbearable for a season or two while we watched them date. (Although someone would have to be pretty unbearable to agree to marry Ted, who's also unbearable.)

[amberlyrose]

I loved Ted at first but he is annoying. I thought the season show was ending this year??

Like a ROMANTIC couple?  I didn't know Josh likes the dudes!

I don't think he does. Just like NPH doesn't like the ladies, but plays a womanizer on the show. It's just acting.

Agreed. Though DH made a good point, they want to show his courtship with the mother. I do think that next season should be the last one.

I love that NPH's current partner plays Scooter on the show.  He's adorable.  :-)  And Sandy Rivers and Lily are married in real life.  AND Robin's husband Taran Killem from SNL works at GNB and has been in some scenes.  Kinda fun.  :-)

I love Scooter, haha, poor guy. I also love Alexis Denisof, he was awesome as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce on Buffy. And in a commentary on one of his episodes, Alyson Hannigan was so excited that he was in the show. "Here's the best actor!" Or something similar.

Right? It feels so wrong when he's not in a suit!

NPH, suit up!

Ugh, I love this show, but they are dragging things out WAY too much now. Just show the fucking wedding at the end Of this season for fucks sakes.

I'm hoping that this means that the how I met your mother part will be over and next season will just be them dating and possibly getting engaged.
hence the "new show" comment.

[Wrath0fKuus]

Yes. I don't want this to end with us meeting the mother. I want to see them work together as a couple, and see why "your mother" is right for Ted, rather than just some dream girl who looks good on paper.

Am I the only person who can't stand Lily?

[pantsparty]

I don't mind Ted, but he's the least interesting character, that's for sure.

Had Jason Segal been in anything before the show? He's probably my favorite character. Although I do love the episodes that focus on Robin's Canadian heritage, LOL.

Of course so!  He was Nick in Freaks and Geeks.

[UnderProtest]

Am I the only one that doesn't like Marshall? I think his character has gotten odd over the seasons. Lily isn't my favorite either, especially recently. But I did like her episode when she broke down about being a mother. I love Barney and my husband was shocked that I guessed that Barney and Robin were getting married before it was fully shown.

I can see that with Ted from the beginning seasons but lately he's just a sad sack Barney wanna be.

Possible Spoiler













I read somewhere that we will meet the mother in the season finale this year. Some speculation is that the reason he is telling the story of HIMYM is that in present time she is dying. The whole, if I could just get 45 more days with her.

I'm glad another person feels this way! I cannot stand Lily either.

[ErinExpat]

Wait, what happened with the Jayma Mays scenes?


Did Ted imagine that? I can't remember. I watched it quickly without paying much attention.

Are you kidding me?? They're going to make us invest all this time just to have her die when we finally "meet" her??!
