so..that How I Met Your Mother show is over

Completely underwhelmed, much like the last few seasons but we were all just finishing out the string.  Much preferred the Psych series finale.

 

Dammit, I'm behind in watching...Psych was one of the few series I supported by buying the DVDs each season.

I liked the finale but they handled one part poorly. The touching moment he had with the mother on the train platform, and then the reveal with the kids should have been separated by more. They went right from that sweet moment, to she's dead, to the kids being all, "go date Robin."

Ha that's true when you look at it like that.  It had been 6 years though.  

 

The part that I thought was weird was the NPH baby scene.  It seemed a little over-dramatic.  Though I agree he's not one who's gonna find a wife and it would take having a kid to settle him down.     

 

It seemed cool how things flipped things for Ted.  He was all about that destiny crap with finding a wife and when he finally found her, let it play itself out and had 2 kids before taking the time to tie the knot.

Initially, I was mad at the ending. If the show ended after the moment at the train under the umbrella, with Ted saying, "and that kids, is how I met your mother", I would've been happier.

 

After I watched again, I didn't hate him getting back with Robin...but the Mother just seemed like a minor detail at that point. Which, I guess she also was for the show. Just seemed more like, "Hey kids...this is how I met your mom...but always preferred Aunt Robin".

I'm perfectly fine with the ending...however can I just say that too much time was wasted in the events leading up to the wedding and then when they get to the finale episode every thing rushed.  I guess I understand why the mother was barely focused on this season, but I was just underwhelmed i general.  Marshall's entire journey to the wedding was pointless too.

 

But I have to say the finale scene brought a big smile to my face.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
