Right - the writers couldn't figure out how to write a realistic breakup (other than Ted and Robin in Season 2, before they shat all over that in later seasons), so they just had the woman take an insane turn, or made Ted look like an annoying fool. The number of beautiful women Ted dumped because they weren't "the

Looking back on How I Met Your Mother, there was some pretty unkind writing of women at every turn. Any woman who wasn't in the main cast was either a slut, an idiot, or insane. I'm not sure how I missed the warning signs.

The Travolta performance was really building to the Barbara Walters interview, which was pitch perfect in it's smugness.

Seth Meyers had a great Weekend Update joke about OJ's conviction: "…was convicted today for armed robbery and kidnapping…and really, murder."

I believe he's guilty, but I can also understand why he was acquitted. You had a relatively uneducated jury, with a favorable demographic makeup for the defense, and who had been essentially imprisoned for eight months. The defense told a compelling story, and the prosecution over-explained.

I was a little vague - I don't think the initial line of questioning regarding his use of the N-word should have been admitted.

I can totally empathize with Cochran. He had been fighting police injustice his whole career, and here he was handed 13 hours of an investigator on a case with enormous scope saying some deplorable things. He certainly wanted men like Fuhrman off the force and exposed for what they were, and that's admirable. BUT,

I bet you're awesome at parties.

It's a little confusing, but I think by answering yes to the question of whether or not he's intending to invoke the fifth amendment to any questioning, he's shut that door on his own accord. So whatever they asked him next, he had to plead the fifth.

The first copy of Star Wars I owned was taped off of television in the Spring of '94, and features an OJ Hertz commercial.

In one of his final OJ pieces in Vanify Fair, he described the case as a real life Russian novel, and a morality play. Dunne would have been all over this miniseries:

Employed by Fox News, portrayed (rightly) as a vile, disgusting human being on it's sister network!

If he doesn't cackle and say "What a predicament!" at any point in finale I'll be a little disappointed.

Yeah, I mean, it essentially ruined his career.

I believe once you invoke the fifth, you can't pick and choose the questions you're going to answer.

The Vanity Fair fact check on this doesn't say if it's true one way or the other, just that Darden wasn't visible in the footage. I think that allowed the writers to construct a really powerful moment. And it worked beautifully, I thought.

That scene hasn't been brought up in any of the reviews I've read, but I thought it was really telling. It's like Kardashian is peeling off another layer and discovering his friend is even crazier than he thought.

I'm sure he was exaggerating some of it, in a weird racist way to try and impress the writer he was speaking to, but that stuff doesn't just get invented out of thin air either.

Maybe, but did you get five sets of metal collar stays with yours?
