They've kept the standard from last season.

mrkiscool2 · 24-09-2013 10:38am

We've been treated to how not to do a series finale (Dexter), how to do the first 5 minutes of a brand new season (Breaking Bad) and how to build up to a climax perfectly (Breaking Bad also), but that premiere showed how every single premiere should be done. Absolutely fantastic, and I hope they keep the flash-forwards and flash-backs tied in like they did in this episode. Phenomenal!

I feel a fool for thinking it might be funny. I should have given up on that dream a long time ago.

What? Did you think this was a comedy?! Well I don't hear anyone else in here laughing. Do you?!

**Simpsons reference**

Only they could draw out the wedding weekend into at least 3 episodes. What was that 2nd episode for?

Daysha · 24-09-2013 9:33pm

Thought it was only OK up until the last few minutes, which was perfectly done and has got me very excited for the rest of the season. Anyone else think . . .

Those flash-forwards are of Ted and the Mother's wedding weekend? It would really help flesh out the season, and would satisfy a lot of fans who wanted to see the two together for a while before the show ends.

We'd also get the prospect of seeing both Barney/Robin and Ted/Mother marry at the same time, which would be absolutely amazing if done right.

If they go that direction and then finish it off at the train platform and their first meeting, the ending would be pretty much perfect.

Dman001 · 24-09-2013 10:15pm

Watched the first episode. Unbearable to watch, any humour was outweighed by Lilly's annoying obsessiveness. I'll probably dive in and out just to see how it ends, seeing as I've stuck with the series this far.

Lyris · 24-09-2013 10:45pm

I liked the new episodes, and the Game of Thrones reference made my day.

I liked how Lily met the mother, it seems like the two of them will become good friends. It's also nice to finally have another likeable female main character except Lily and Robin. But I don't like how they are emphasising Ted's loneliness, although I understand that it's necessary for the story. I just feel sorry for Ted. The mother seems perfect for him though.
The Barney/Robin part with their common cousin was funny, but nothing special, and the part about making Barney believe in marriage annoyed me a bit.

Wellyd · 24-09-2013 10:59pm

I loved the episodes last night. Especially the last few minutes of the second episode. I don't feel like HIMYM is a comedy per se anymore. To me it's more about watching them grow now that we know that there is a definite end date in sight. I've been watching since day one and I'm kind of disappointed in so many people dissing the show. The programme is just evolving with its viewers.

So it has evolved from comedy to drama? It is a turd compared to what it used to be. Evolving my arse.

miralize · 25-09-2013 12:03am

Any why should it be void of critique? Because you like it? Nah, i'm all for show progression, but 9 seasons of a storyline that's been milked to death is not for good viewing. Having said that, I've been invested since S1 so I might as well see how they all end up.

NufcNavan · 25-09-2013 1:09am

Couldn't stick more than 10 mins of the premiere. Used to be a fan of the show but the last few series have been awful.

Zwillinge · 25-09-2013 2:15pm

I don't blame Ted for making Lily wanna leave the road trip, I'd be sick of her too!

Agreed that it will be nice to have a likable female character in the show.

Least after this season, it'll all be over

SureYWouldntYa · 02-10-2013 7:16pm

For the first time in a while, an interesting ending on HIMYM

Enjoying the start of this season more than the last few have to say

certifiedcrepe · 08-10-2013 2:46pm

These episodes are kinda just space-fillers. I really hope it all starts to go crazy soon.
The first 2 episodes were quite enjoyable, especially when you saw Ted and the mother one year into the future.
I enjoyed last week's episode where Barney told Ted he saw him and Robin, but this week's episode was kinda annoying how it was brushed under the carpet when it started, and then it turned out Barney was still annoyed. Marshpillow was quite funny though!

celica00 · 15-10-2013 9:05pm

the last one was not too bad, especially the ending was kinda fun!

but its kinda annoying that it takes so many episodes for one wedding weekend:o

SureYWouldntYa · 15-10-2013 9:26pm

i like this season, so much better when everyone is happy and cheery, unlike last season where nearly every episode had Ted being all depressed about not meeting the "one"

Hande hoche! · 15-10-2013 9:39pm

Am I the only one who wants to see Ted get hit by a truck and eaten by Hyenas?

I certainly wouldn't like that to happen. I'd feel sorry for the poor hyenas having to eat that useless piece of ****.

16-10-2013 2:49am

Anyone else spot this almost disappointingly subtle nod?

phasers · 16-10-2013 8:56am

This season suuuuuucks, the only parts I haven't hated are the parts with the Mother.

celica00 · 16-10-2013 1:16pm

yeah i spotted the pumpkin but cant think of a way how that fits in?

Bacchus · 16-10-2013 1:37pm

Watched the first 4 episodes of the new season. I was intrigued by this 24 episodes covering ~55 hours of the wedding weekend idea as it really could have shaken up the format of the show. Unfortunately, aside from the "55/53/51 hours until the wedding" ticker at the start of each episode and the movement from one episode picking up directly from the last, the writers have been incredibly lazy about this. There is no sense that what you are watching is taking place in 2x or even 3x real time. Ted rewrote 200 table cards twice, played a poker game, went on a trip to the beach with Barney etc. and no doubt in the next episode the countdown will have just move 1-2 hours. I know the show has never been much on the realism stakes but the big pitch of this season was the new linear timeline format and it's completely abandoned. Each episode is still very much standalone with a self contained plot.

certifiedcrepe · 16-10-2013 4:55pm

The scene in this weeks episode with McLaren's made me sad. I miss McLaren's

pickarooney · 16-10-2013 8:47pm

I fail to see the point. What exactly are we waiting for now?

guttenberg · 17-10-2013 12:15pm

I've never really read any HIMYM threads so apologies if this has been covered, but is the season ending spoiler

that the mother died when the kids were young? and he is telling them his life story, and the brief time that they had together before she died? I'm not really sure what made me think this, but am I completely wrong or is there some potential in it?

certifiedcrepe · 23-10-2013 2:28pm

Episode this week was pretty good. Some funny bits with the first season of HIMYM with different people.

Wish they'd hurry up with the mother storyline

Callanutd · 24-10-2013 10:58am

I used to love this show. I still watch now out of habit more than anything. Lilly is just a cartoon character and Ted is just utterly unlikeable.

Interesting, this has crossed my mind also.

Boom_Bap · 29-10-2013 11:41am

Grand episode this week, but one major annoyance. When they are watching the TV show, the TV they are watching it on has no cables connected. Ghost TV.

Mr E · 31-10-2013 9:54am

Spinoff ahoy.....

With the hit CBS series now in its final season, Deadline is reporting that a spinoff of "How I Met Your Mother" might be on the way. Tentatively titled "How I Met Your Father," the new show would center on an all-new female lead and her own group of friends.

"How I Met Your Mother" creators and executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are teaming with "Up All Night" creator and executive producer Emily Spivey to develop the new show. Early plans would have the new lead introduced in the final episodes of "Mother," with the potential existing for current show's popular characters to guest star on "Father."

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=110845

Could be OK with a whole new set of characters.

This has been in the rumor mill for a while if I remember correctly. Looks like it could become more of a reality now. While it could be an interesting watch, to see how they tie it altogether, I'm still not so sure. The concept of the show has gotten old for me personally. I didn't mind being dragged along for 9 seasons, if the humour stayed consistent. But it didn't, and I don't think HIMYF would be any different despite new characters.

pickarooney · 31-10-2013 5:01pm

The current show has popular characters?

Alfred Borden · 31-10-2013 10:11pm

Was keeping up with the show but since the third episode, have just let it run, going to watch maybe 6 episodes together in a few weeks, doubt im missing much anyways

Zwillinge · 05-11-2013 2:20pm

This episode had a nice ending.

I have very little other opinons upon it.

Alfred Borden · 05-11-2013 7:07pm

finally caught up on the last 5 episodes, looks like i missed nothing :pac:

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 05-11-2013 8:31pm

I really enjoyed the most recent episode. Had a good mix of comedy and sentimental moments.
I like what they're doing with this season overall, and in my opinion has redeemed itself after a few awful years.

certifiedcrepe · 05-11-2013 10:03pm

Loved this episode! It was pretty funny and I loved the ending, I sobbed like crazy!

No, I do not have a life.

Posy · 06-11-2013 1:34am

I haven't seen the latest episode yet, but is it still at the wedding?!

I find that seriously annoying. I think I might sit out the next few and just watch the last couple of episodes. This season is just irritating me at this stage!

Zero-Cool · 09-11-2013 6:16pm

This is the worst season by ****ing far! Zero laughs and im even noticing the audience laughing 3 times during an unfunny sentence. Is this the last season?
