Oh, I totally get that. My wife and I always joked that the show was "How I (Banged Every Single Woman in NYC and then) Met Your Mother." But, in terms of the length of time the viewer had to adjust to these changes, the pacing was horrible, hence my suggestion in another thread that they should have introduced the…

No, she did get a name, she was "Number 31."

And the one time he forgot, how lucky that he would happen to bang some skank* who didn't mind relinquishing full custody of her daughter!

Seriously, I was expecting the kids to high-five each other when Ted picked up the phone to call Robin.

I get your point, but it requires that you believe that they *had* to kill the mother, which of course was a completely unnecessary plot device to get Ted and Robin together.

All of this could have been remedied had they (a) prepped the viewers for the Mother's death waaaaaay earlier, if not in season 7 or 8, then in the first episode of this season, and (b) told the later season writers, "you know, Ted and Robin wind up together in the end. Keep that in mind." But as it was, the writers…

I liked the finale to Cheers. It was from the older sitcom era, where every story has to be tied up and every character sent on his/her way, but it felt right to me.

For me, the show ended on the train platform, with the Mother and Ted meeting. The rest of it—of what they showed us—took place in the darkest timeline, and I could give two fucks about that.

The athlete got "you're" right, so on that point he's ahead of 113% of Yahoo commenters.

" (sleeved jerseys are permitted in conjunction with a cardinals game or any other major St. Louis sporting event)"

The biggest mystery: we've already seen "older Ted" in flash forward segments, and he sounds exactly like younger Ted, played by Josh Radnor. SO THEN WHY DOES HIS VOICE CHANGE TO THE VOICE OF BOB SAGET WHEN HE NARRATES THE WHOLE THING TO HIS KIDS. SERIOUSLY THIS HAS BOTHERED ME FOR 7 YEARS. Ahem. Sorry about that.

"It's better to burn out, than to fade away," sang Neil Young. Those famous lyrics might have referred to the cosmic wonder of a shooting star, but "shooting" is what Kurt Cobain thought they literally meant, because he quoted that song in the suicide note that he wrote shortly before shooting himself, in the head.

Most conspiracy theories are usually created by a combination of sloppy fieldwork and governments who hate sharing information. In this case you have very little fieldwork, and a government that hates to share information, and is fairly incompetent when forced to answer on the international stage. Remember Russia with…

HE AUTHORIZED THE SEALS TO HELP OUT THE LIBYANS AND THE NORTH KOREANS ON THAT OIL TANKER SO WHY DIDN'T HE HAVE THEM GO HELP THE GUYS IN BENGHAZI!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

I work at a small liberals arts college, and have been privy to many negotiations with faculty who have been offered a position. Nazareth College is completely out of line here. Faculty ALWAYS ask for the moon, and why shouldn't they? They are trying to find a position that best suits them. That's why you have a…

Don't forget

Before every goes with the suicide angle, it's possible she has gestational diabetes and suffered a really severe bout of low blood sugar. (I know that gestational diabetes causes high blood sugar, but if she's controlling it with insulin rather than just diet, then all bets are off.) It can cause disoriented and…

It does have a certain poetry, don't you think?

So I should ask my wife to do my laundry before putting my sweet, sweet moves on her?

Rockford, IL has TWO stations? Color me stunned.
