The Time Travelers

I've been resisting to the idea that the show has become something totally different but now I'm losing hope. I've been a fan since long time ago and I don't remember how many times I've seen all the episodes on Netflix once and again... but this season, seems like the writers are betraying everything they wrote before.

This is all leading to the inevitable dead end of the American dream, now that they had their fun and that Ted is finally accepting the fact that he's all alone he's suffering because of his loneliness?? Seriously this was one depressing episode I'm not against marriage, but what the hell are they doing with Barney and Robin?? That ship already sailed, and yeah I didn't like it then and I think it's such a waste now... Barney and Robin are awesome just they way they are, and they don't need to get married not to each other and not to anyone else to have a happy life after wards... but hey if you insist in that so much, why force it even more and make them marry to each other? that's absurd.

And what does all this have to do with Ted? well... it's all the same, We already knew Marshall and Lily were meant to be with each other, that was obvious and the time Lily went away was a nice touch of reality, relationships are never perfect, and we all know Ted is going to get married someday, and have two kids... that's the whole plot of the show... You don't have to marry everybody, that's not real life...

What I hate the most about this season is that the writers seem to be in a rush, and the only way they found to justify this rush, is Ted's loneliness... actually this is looking so sad, that it seems that Ted is not going to really fall in love with this woman, it feels like if he's ready to take whatever life throws out to him... I was ready to accept a story like Stella's or Zoey's, those were real life stories, and hey we know he had to learn a little on the way...

I simply don't understand why sell the idea of happiness coming from Marriage exclusively, in summary:

They ruined Lily and Marshall, not because of Marvin, because of a stereotype about married couples with children.

They Murdered Barney!! He has become someone he is not!!

They took the sparkles out of Robin, Yes she's still funny, but not even the half of what she used to be.

And about Ted? they've made him just a very lonely guy, with no friends, who has always been looking for true love, and now he's desperate to meet this legendary woman...

At least the last episodes reminded me of the Ted on the first season, but this Ted I saw tonight, as funny as the time travelers were... this Ted is pathetic, no man should feel like that never in his life, because finding love is not something you need to be happy... Finding love is the topping on the dessert, you can be happy living whatever life you want to live, and your happiness should never depend on anyone, and I thought the writers thought the same way... I had hope on the show... but now I realize I was wrong...

I just hope it changes it's direction... really!

I really don't understand what has happened to this programme. I have watched all precious seasons numerous times and can always find things to laugh at. I love all the characters, well maybe not Ted, and have loved following the story lines. This whole season has just been dreadful! Can anyone shed any light on why this is so bad????? The writing seems so very different, the characters have changed drastically, the stories are really bad. So sad, was a good thing, now not so much. I keep watching with the hope that there will be one nice episode with some of the old humour in it. Fingers crossed. Why do they make us write so much in a review? I've pretty much said all I want to about the programme, I really only wanted to say it was bad but had to parp on more in order to fulfil all the required lines. Hey no, life is one huge disappointment all round.

It has one of the emotional scenes in the series and it has too funny and awesome scenes.

As the show goes, I seriously do not know what's going on in the writers head, but they are obviously running out of ideas. I haven't had this kind of disappointment since the middle of the 6th series, but this episode was a disaster. The main line is this x time from now. I'm from the future, 22 minutes from now, and I highly recommend myself not to watch this episode because it will ruin my day. There is no fun in it. Boring. I miss the usual HIMYM jokes, we have just this anemic part of Robin and Marshall, but nothing else. I never wanted to say this, but this episode was the last step on a long road, from now I am really only watching the show to get to know who the hell this mother can be. Sorry guys, you had something great and you wanted more but did'n have the imagination or the courage to do it: now you suffer because you're losing hundreds or maybe thousands of viewers.

Such a great episode. I like the bit where he drops a meatball on his shirt
