You really think a show full of Barneys would be good? I sure don't. Everyone's delivery is perfect for the characters they are portraying.

I'm actually starting to think there is something wrong with you guys. This episode was hilarious. It turned the entire "very special episode" on its head. If you didn't like this episode, I don't understand why you would even watch this show.

No, he uses it to go back and not eat some wings. (The whole point was to leave a message for present Marshal.)

Why do I have it my head that the whole thing was set up? There was nothing about that in the episode, but I was sure that Marshall had set this up from the beginning to make Barney not expect the slap.

I don't understand why everyone acts like Amazon Prime competes with
Netflix at all. A lot more people can afford a small monthly charge than
the equivalent yearly charge. The only reason to have a yearly charge instead of a monthly charge is if you think that people would otherwise not stick with it. Which means you…

Most people who are certified architects in New York have their Masters. It may even be a requirement.

I don't know what you're talking about. They tried to hide it, and I missed it, until I read here and was reminded.

The Naked Man isn't really all that direct. It's still an attempt at manipulation. The guy describes it as making the person feel pity for you.There is no need for that if you are just asking a direct question.

Hulu, being owned by the networks themselves, was probably able to re-negotiate the rights, and probably did so with an exclusivity contract that prevents Netflix from doing the same. Money made from Hulu goes back to the networks, unlike Netflix.

Those episodes likely have some content in it that the current owners of the show don't have the rights to release. Probably a music track. Back then they didn't even negotiate for home video rights, let alone streaming rights.

It makes sense. He also mispronounced encyclopaedia. The "ae" ligature is pronounced as an E. That's why Americans replaced it with an E in most words.

The only way she would possibly be in this is as a cameo, anyways. Her part wasn't all that important in the first film. She was just a generic kid, rather than being much of a character. There's no future to catch up on, no story that could be possibly be told about her.

I agree she is not ugly or unattractive, but cute is not the word I would use for her. I think of cute being stuff like Hello Kitty. It's more of an endearing, child-like quality. Mara Wilson now is quite fiery.

Yeah, but why did you assume that the people whining didn't have something to whine about? Why not assume that the people who watched the show and were disappointed enough to whine were the most devoted fans, who are more likely to know the show really well, and thus are at least probably right about the ending being…

The thing is, there isn't a twist, really. A twist is something that comes by surprise but makes sense in hindsight. The problem with the Robin thing is that it doesn't make sense in hindsight—not unless you ignore stuff established from like Season 5 on.

This version on Vimeo I think does a better job. He makes it exactly clear what is and is not removed.

I know we already know who the mother is now, but I'm now catching up with old seasons I missed. Still, I can't get over so many people entertaining the idea that Stella was the mother. The show is called "How I Met Your Mother." Ted met Stella a while back. It would not make any sense for him not to have said "and…

Why do you assume they are using Wi-fi instead of 3G?

I may not be a Brony, but I am impressed you actually got that username.

If they had a vision, then the ending would have been consistent with what went on before. They had not a vision but an ending. They let the show develop naturally, but then yanked it back in the last couple of episodes.
