 How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) So the premiere wasn't one of the best season premieres of the show but the show does a good job with their endings and tonight's was no different. Looks like we'll finally have the reveal at this season finale (and honestly by the way they are setting up that scene it feels like a series finale like scene).

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) This was a really good premiere, the lame "Marshall and Lily see underwater swimming when people talk" thing aside. Looks like we know how Ted meets the mother. It only took eight seasons! lol

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) I will say "The Funeral" was a fantastic music choice for tonight's ending. God, the more I think about it the more I love the ending to this episode.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) Side note: I left the TV on for 5 minutes after HIMYM and that was enough to realize I never want to watch Partners. It's not even entertaining smut like 2 Broke Girls is.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) The scene with the box in the storage locker was great

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) I really liked the ending to the episode a lot. I think they should end it this year. It seems like it would come to a natural conclusion and dragging it out anymore would make it feel forced.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) I could see justification for a ninth season that involves Ted's courtship with The Mother. No more than that, though. Friends is my favorite show of all time and even I recognize that season 10 was pretty wheezy, HIMYM doesn't need 10 seasons either.

No. I just want the scene where they meet as a series finale. Any more than that and it makes all this dragging out even more awkward, If we get the courtship thing, then it means we at least could've had a couple of seasons of them dating, the wedding and the birth of their kids. But considering they've kept it meeting-free all this time, it's only fit it ends that way.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) It was all right. Seems like it'll be even less comedy forced than last season, which had a few gems, but that's about it. It seems a little out of character that Ted wouldn't stay at Robin and Barney's wedding.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) Becki Newton deserves better than what she was given to work with in HIMYM.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) be.redy wrote: Becki Newton deserves better than what she was given to work with in HIMYM. I agree. Anyone who watched Ugly Betty knows what a talented and hilarious actress she is, and she was mostly stranded with meh material on this show. Hopefully The Goodwin Games utilizes her. Last night's episode was pretty mediocre other than the sweet flash forward ending (Barney saying he didn't need a prenup for Robin).

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) I forget this show is still on sometimes  That could be because it airs in syndication so much now, but who knows. Though it's still pleasant, there hasn't really been a truly GREAT episode in a few seasons now.

She's wonderful in the pilot for "Goodwin Games" at least.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) I'm not liking this season too much yet. I haven't laughed much. The finale was the last episode I really laughed at, before that the Star Wars episode.
I kind of don't like that they already said how much of a disaster Victoria is going to be and there still dating. And Ted feels relegated to the least important character on the show now.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) Really enjoyed tonight's episode. The game show was a great throwback to bits that would be done early on in the series.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) 'Twas an OK episode tonight but...Friends already did that, HIMYM (when Ross was forbidden to see Rachel anymore by Emily). I'll forgive you, though.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) Wow, not sure if it was intentional, but this episode kind of just ruined the rest of the season for me When he said "Robin would find out later" thats what the Bride wanted to see him before her and Barny's wedding, she wants to know whether it was because he loves her, because now she loves him, but because of him being Ted and couldn't do that to Barney tells her no, he leaves the wedding, ends up on the train station looking all miserable, and that's how he meets his mother _________________Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) It's been somewhat of a tepid season so far but "Splitsville" was the best episode of the season. Keep it going, folks.
Also, Cobie Smulders has taken the reins from NPH as the show's best performer at this point. I still love all of them but Smulders is consistently the standout now.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) Yeah Splitsville was great. Particularly enjoyed hints of old Lily coming back with her constant need to talk about her sexual fantasies.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) As someone who hasn't seen every episode of the series, but this episode seemed more like past seasons than the rest of this season.

Re: How I Met Your Mother (Season 8) I always hoped they brought Brad back, he was my favorite secondary character, but I'm not sure what was worst. Making him a complete idiot, or making him a villain. Either way, quite disappointing.
