~ How I Met Your Mother ~

I'm not saying I'm totally proud of this, but I just finished, again, the entire 4 seasons of How I Met Your Mother. I went to find Zhou just to take back my set just to watch it. (And he didn't even watch it yet... =.=)

Go me. :P

There was a reason though. Cause I was quite impressed by how they do keep track of their storylines and they do come back to stories they set up quite some time ago. So I wanted to trace back the stories to see how they panned out. It's like when you watch it the first time, you hear it for the first time and think that's cool. But when you go back and rewatch it, and you know what's going to happen, you think it's awesome that they can actually remember to tell that particular story again.

Two things I didn't like, although it's part of the above thing that I liked.
(Spoilers for seasons 1-4)
1. The Umbrella story.
I mean they built this up till it was like so awesome, so great, so epic, that when they revealed that it came back to Stella (Sarah Chalke, who, by the way, I did not actually like all that much in this series) it just seemed stupid. I get that to continue the story, Ted cannot meet the mother, yet, but the umbrella story was just built up so much that it was very disappointing to see it amount to something that simple.

2. Same with the Goat story. I don't get how the goat story is even related.

The other minor gripe I have is that after 4 years, Ted still hasn't met the mother yet. Who sits their kids down and tells them about all the women he has slept with before he met their mother. Really. Who does that?

Barney is really the character to watch in the show however. Although if you watch long enough, the other characters also become essential in the entire story. (Well, it is Ted's story. :P)

Anyway, just that.

And I read about this comment that sounded very interesting. Like the ending and future of this show: This one season, Ted meets the mother, another season, Ted marries the mother, then this series finish. Then before the kids stand up to go, the mother comes in and tells her story of how she met the father. :P It sounds very interesting to me, although it might not be as good since there may not have a Barney character. :P

Kay, enough about that. I should go get my stuff done... zzz... =.=
