I still like this show but when I think about these character arcs, they were very underutilized. Marshall and Lily had almost no development or growth.

Lily was a teacher, then a failed artist and then got a bangin new job as an art consultant because she was made to confess to stealing from the Captain. That's some BS. Remember when she almost cost Ted his job because she stole the baseball from Heisenberg? Her biggest move was having the baby. Almost forgot about Lily being an undercover lesbian & nymphomaniac.

Marshall was a lawyer, worked at GNB for a little while then went into environmental law. Son had one case and then applied to be a judge. Is that even a possible course of events? Jeez.

Barney is a womanizer that ends up with this friends ex? What part of the game is that? Sure, his mom dukes was a freak but he's been doing nothing for hella. They drove the playbook theme (which I liked a lot) into the ground something terrible.

Robyn's whole arc became nothing worthy to mention. I cannot even thing of anything major that she did. A Canadian girl who moved to the big city to make it big as a reporter. Didn't like Ted but still gave into him. Moved to Japan and smashed Enrique Iglesias then lands in Barney's arms? That's nasty.

Ted, who is the crux of this show, is here telling the story of how he found and snagged mom dukes. Dude spent the whole first season chasing Robin which was wild to see and painful the second time that I watched. Then every other relationship was sabotaged in very silly ways just to keep the endgame intact. The whole Victoria arc was basura. The last one with Jeanette was terrible.

I'm still gon watch.

I feel like I have Stockholm syndrome watching this show man. Real talk, I'm amazed at how my need for closure has forced me to sit through at least the past three seasons of this bullshyt.

Ted Mosby is the worst/most bytchass main character in a minute, I literally disagree with everything this dude says/does. Like for real my nig?

He's hit all them hoes over the years

I use to love this show, one of those shows me and my girl made sure we watched together cuz it amused us both. These past at least 2 seasons have just been about the end game (as a lot of the story line was just :why:)

Like someone else mentioned they have built up to this wedding since last season and yet we have to wait another season :what:, then I just read that most of the last if not all will take place on the wedding weekend :mindblown:

Where did you read that??? If thats true..wtf was the point of showing her us and not just waiting till the end...

I thought they showed her to us so that they would have episodes with her in it next season showing how her and Ted almost met many times...since alot of the his stories over the years have been "Your mother was in the same place...blah blah blah"...Like she was in the shower while he was dating that one chick....was in his class when he was a teacher...at a that club on saint patricks day...in the street while it was raining one day...

'How I Met Your Mother' finally reveals the mother - MSN Entertainment News

Rumors have been swirling that the whole season will play out in real time. Bays didn't confirm or deny this but said Season 9 will, "tell the epic story of the longest wedding weekend ever" and that he and co-creator and executive producer, Craig Thomas, will "take some risks with time."

How I Met Mom Dukes fell into the same trap that Lost did. When crunch time came and they had to wrap the story up, they failed. Lost became so popular that they were throwing any ole idea into it because the money was flowing. Mom Dukes' problem is similar. That money was coming in so they messed with the story and now we are here. Them making Barney and Robin a couple is evidence of that. Now we have this funky ass season leading into who knows what. They had a quaint story about a Dad who tells the story of how he snatched down Mom Dukes to his children. Then cats started getting paid. What are you gonna do?
