Presumably he'll be all set to lay the big romantic gesture on Robin, then he'll finally see how happy she is with Barney.  Later that night, he meets the Mother, who he clicks with immediately.

There's also the Ultimate universe, in which the first story arc is that the Avengers take down a rogue Hulk.

Let's be honest, Ted is a slightly less slapstick, slightly better towards women version of JD

I'm torn because Donna makes a persuasive case.  However, the writers dug themselves into a hole with how beautifully that scene was written, and thus, any further attempts on Ted's part work against how amazing that closing scene was.  Alas, from the pure volume of hints dropped, I think Donna is more likely to have…

Others have commented already, but you hit the nail on the head of a concern I and many other fans have had.  Namely, that we need more than a simple meeting, or else why the hell have those kids been sitting on that couch for nine years.  They need to have chemistry, to meet, yes but more importantly, to fall in…

This wasn't a particularly stellar NPH episode, methinks.  Sure, he had a nice bit with the Mother Russia thing, but other than that and the excellent phone conversation he has with Marshall, the Barnacle was mostly the straight man tonight.  Even the "I don't need _______, I've got you" bits were drenched in cheese.

I loved the end of S4 (and wish they could have pursued it into S5) because it was one of the few times we understand why Richard was a business success.  Most of the time he's this passive husband/grandfather, but when you get him away from the women he adores (Rory and Emily), then he has some oomph.

Man, that ain't even the best Robin Williams' fuck.  Good Will Hunting, the park scene (http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I'm about 37% certain she was doing it just to try and help Lindsay out.  Granted, that's under half, but still, there's a shadow of possibility

That's too bad, because it's been very good so far.  Kinda of a talky, lots of drama, plays to Bendis' strengths

In watching this, I'm not entirely certain if Jean did drop Sam as a child.  On one hand, it's a very real possibility that she, with her knack for knowing what to do to comfort in times of true need, told a white lie to make Bill's mother feel better.  On the other hand, it would be a very real, "less than perfect"…

Probably because those first eight seasons happened before they reached adulthood.  How old do you feel right now?

Christ, would I have loved to seen what this show could do with a few seasons to go somewhere.  I'm lucky enough to be watching these episodes first run and I still am getting to be missing it.

I disagree with you on how smart a move it was, actually.  Right now, we're all mourning his Community loss and in other, less kind, internet places, people are pretty PO'ed.  Seeing how we all suspect Community is done after this season, I think it would have been better for him to play out the string for the last…

Agreed.  For people who all see her as a brainiac wunderkid, they sure don't give her much agency

I just wrote a short essay for a scholarship about why Freedom was my favourite read of the past year.  It wasn't actually, but it was the easiest to write about and was very engaging.  The inner monologues/self-loathing could definitely drag on me, but the dialogue, already quick, seemed to move at Gilmore Girls…

She wouldn't be the Mother if she didn't love Star Wars, as Stella proved

I could have peace on those terms
