HIMYM vent

Okay, why did they bring Victoria back just to bring Robin back in the picture?  Or am I just really confused?  Were they insinuating that Ted still has feelings for Robin?

Re: HIMYM vent

  • I think they're just trying to confuse things. Since we already know Robin isn't the mother, I wish they'd stop acting like it's a possibility. Barney was brought up too so maybe we are headed down the Barney/Robin road again?
  • I do NOT want Ted with Robin.  I want Barney with Robin.

    I think that show would be called HIMYFather so....

    LOL That was a typo :)  I fixed it. 

  • Well we know Ted doesn't end up with Robin. I really want Barney with Nora though.
  • Since we are venting, does it bug anyone else that if his kids are teenagers in 2030 they need to be conceived like...maybe 3 years from now? How much longer can they drag it out and have it make sense chronologically?

    If it helps, they've said in a couple interviews on TV Line that they only have about 2 seasons left after this. 

  • Haven't watched this Friends wannabe show in 3 years. I am kinda over "cliquey shows".

    HmmThen why bother reading this post or answering?

     

    I think they were just hinting that something needs to change the dynamic of their little group, so that all of them can move forward.

    I really want Barney to end up with Nora.

  • B/c the title was "vent" so I vented.

    I agree. I don't think they're trying to say that Ted still has feelings for Robin. I think they're getting us prepared for some changes in the group.

  • I really liked last night's episode.  I loved that Victoria came back, even if it wasn't for an obvious reason (like them getting back together).  I think we'll see a lot of that in the next couple of seasons (we all know the slutty pumpkin is coming soon too).

    I really liked how Robin kept going back to Ted's story at the resturaunt, it cracked me up!

    I always like how they leave us hanging... Robin being the mother isn't a choice, but how is the Ted, Robin, Barney triangle going to end up if it's going to change from what it is now?!  Ugh, LOVE this show!

  • In the end when the monologue said that it wasn't weird for Barney, Ted and Robin to hang out right now but it "would be"...made me think that Barney and Robin get married..

  • I was watching a rerun last night of when Ted and Robin broke up and Bob Saget said at the end that Aunt Robin did go on to live in all of these exotic places.  I have a feeling Robin is getting the boot soon, she cant stay in New York if they've already said she moves around the world often.

    She already went to Argentina and Japan though.  I don't think they'll boot Robin.  I don't know if I want Barney and Robin to get married, but I don't feel it with Barney and Nora.

    and Bob Saget is speaking from 2030. That still gives her 19 years to go travel.
  • I think something changes with the group.  I don't think Barney & Robin end up together, but I do think one of them ends up moving away or something.
  • What I like about this show is that it's telling a story about his life.  They are the important things that lead to where his life is now.  If you look back on your life, don't you have interactions, thoughts, or events that happened that don't seem to make sense at the time but when you look back you realize that your life would be different if they didn't happen?  That's the way I look at the show.

  • I don't think that Victoria and Klaus are going to get engaged. If they were really going to get married then I think that they would've already been engaged by the time she ran into Ted. I wouldn't be surprised if she comes back in the future and wants to get back together with Ted, but we'll see.

    I don't think that Ted is really in love with Robin or vice versa. I *do* think that Victoria's statement is going to make him rethink living with Robin or canceling the agreement to marry at age 40, though. And I think that Ted's going to realize that the mother is The One once he realizes that she means more to him than Robin, because it seems like up until this point Robin has been his ideal woman and best relationship. The mother's qualities have to blow Robin's out of the water. 

    I also think that Victoria's statement about Robin being a big part of his world is foreshadowing that Robin is going to play an important role in how Ted meets the mother (and doesn't that go back to the pilot episode and a few others where he says that Robin was really important to the story?). Whether she introduces them or what, I can't guess.

  • I will not apologize for saying I am over the show. Plenty of other posters on other threads talk about how they are over shows. This show will be over after next year. It is so unrealistic. At least Friends was a sign of the times.

  • I don't think the comment by Victoria means that Ted has feelings for Robin still, but, it means that he hasn't moved past that relationship.  You can't move forward if you don't reconcile your past.  The group of the three of them won't work forever, something does have to change.  I'm not sure what it means, exactly, but hopefully we find out SOON!  UGH.

    To me, your argument is like the one in the Pan Am thread about how Pan Am is a rip off of Mad Men because they're set in the same time period. It's just silly to me. Every show about a group of friends and how they interact with each other is not a rip-off of one single show. If anything, everything is a repeat of an idea or story structure from another show/movie/book/short story/play/whatever. That's just how it is.

    I could easily say Friends was a rip-off of Seinfeld. Or that Modern Family is a rip-off of Everybody Loves Raymond which is a ripoff of All in the Family. It's annoying for you to say "I don't like this show because it's not Friends." Say it feels forced or it doesn't connect with you, but IMO the argument that it's not identical to another show is stupid.

    And how is it any more unrealistic than Monica and Chandler's surrogate mom not knowing she was carrying twins when she was getting regular health care? Or that they had a wedding in a snowstorm? TV is unrealistic, that's part of what makes it good. Look at CSI. Completely unrealistic, but it's got how many spin-offs and it's been on for how long?

  • I do like Ted & Robin, but we all know that doesn't happen. I don't like Barney & Robin together though. I hope Barney ends up with Nora.

    Um, you can only use quotes for stuff people actually say and write.

    I'm confused. Did someone ask you to apologize? And if you're so over it, quit talking about it.
  • Like I stated "Plenty of other posters on other threads talk about how they are over shows. " So.....people talk and discuss why they are over things all the time. No one asked me to apologize, it's a figure of speech.

     :::Sigh:::

     

    Not sure why this particular thread is getting upset that someone stated they were over the show bc it is cliquey. As stated, plenty of other threads have posts that state basically the same thing.

    Ok, I am not posting anymore on this-you obviously don't get what what I'm trying to say, which is that people can post about shows they are over....now, it is not about that, but you telling me to get over it. Which I never told anyone on here to get over HYMIM.  Just saying I was. So, who cares? I am not defaming anyone else's opinion.
