HIMYM 3//18

[speckledfrog]

I didn't love this episode.  I know we've spent this season rolling our eyes at what they have done to Lily but now it's time to turn to Robin.  WTH are they doing with her?  She just seems so...flat.  Uninteresting and un-Robin-like for sure.  I just hate that they are wasting our time this season.  I want more character development!  More funny!  Less whatever the hell they're trying to pass off as a show now.

It was so bad that I can barely even remember what happened.

I thought Ted didn't date anyone else between Crazy Jeanette and The Mother ... and now he's going on a date with this girl from the open house?

I said the same thing.  My DH said what he was doing with that girl wasn't a date, LOL.

lol, so now Ted is turning into Barney, I guess

Makes it hard for me to root for this "sweet romantic guy" to find the love of his life, when every week he's just boinking another random chick just for the sake of giving his character something to do.

How about, I don't know, showing him at work?

Yeah, I think I laughed once, and I don't even remember what it was that I laughed at. Very disappointing.

There's a short interview with one of the producers where he talks about the season's last few episodes and hints at what they're going to do with season 9.

Sigh. Lily is a such a pretentious hack. Did she just quit her teaching job mid semester? Did they address that?

Barney and Robin are so terrible. If they actually go through with the wedding, it will be a travesty.

Ad yeah, Ted is SO ready to get married. (Sarcasm). They made him gross and I can't see how they turn this season around.

I was a big Barney and Robin fan. I love when they are awesome and over the top. I hate this real couple junk.

Lily is probably my least favorite character. Followed closely by Ted.

I don't think they ever specified whether she quit her teaching job (I would hope not, in the middle of the school year!). I was under the impression that she's doing the art thing as a night/weekend job, but who knows. The show's getting lazy.
