You know that would have been a twist. Not sure if it would have been a great twist, but it would have been a twist for sure. I really didn't like the killer in this. He was so bold towards the end, so I was just really hoping for him to catch a couple of more bullets.
Show had been in my Netflix queue forever. Saw that it was leaving this week and started watching it. I have enjoyed it for the most part. A few times the characters actions make me audibly yell at the screen. But, glad I've been able to binge it before it disappeared off Netflix.
It's funny cause he ended up doing a show with Stella (Sarah Chalke) a few years later called Mad Love. Which I didn't hate, but thought Chalke and Biggs were overshadowed by the secondary characters in Judy Greer and Tyler Labine.
I'm not completely certain. As I think it is a continuity error or an ambiguous Wesleyan. I think they technically went to the Wesleyan in CT, but in some episodes it is the Wesleyan in OH. If it is actually the one in CT, then Lily leaving NYC to go to school in CT, isn't a stretch as she could go back home regularly. Marshall going all the way to CT for school seems the bigger stretch. Now had he had a Basketball scholarship that would have made some sense. The OH Wesleyan makes the most sense for Ted, but the CT one also makes sense because of it having that "Ivy League" appeal, but not one of the actual Ivy League schools and fits pretentious Ted.
While I would have never accepted any ending where they kill Tracey. I think they got stuck in a corner that they waited so long to introduce her that they probably felt they were going to get a backlash. Hell I thought once Season 5 ended that the show was most likely going to end with Ted meeting the mother, but them not showing her face. What I think surprised Carter and Craig is how well everyone took to Cristin Milioti and so when they went to their fallback of Ted ending up with Robin. They didn't expect people to be so enraged.
But, as I stated I don't think I would have ever been happy with them killing Tracey. I would have been able to handle it slightly better if season 9 wasn't filled with so many junk/filler get to 200 episodes bullshit. Plus that sunrise episode always struck me as that was it, Robin and Ted are done. But, no it wasn't. I think if they would have split the season's into 4ths the death would have likely been better received albeit bittersweet.
Part 1: Maybe 4 episodes telling the Barney/Robin wedding weekend with Ted meeting the mother.
Part 2: 10 episodes covering the time span that sees Barney/Robin's split and the developing of Ted and Tracey's relationship to their marriage.
Part 3: 6 episodes covering the married years of Ted/Tracey and their life with the group
Part 4: The final four episodes could have covered the last few years and built into the ending they gave us.
Again I wouldn't want to have seen her die, and Ted end back up with Robin I would have been able to tolerate it with a better story.
Season 1: The Limo - This episode is one that I watch every New Years Eve or New Years day. So many NYE's in my 20's and early 30's come flooding back when I watch it.
Season 2: Ted Mosby Architect
Season 3: The Bracket - "I WAS there... trust me... it's fake baby!
Season 4: 3 Days of Snow (really hard season for me to pick a favorite, with time becoming one of my favorite seasons of the show)
Season 5: Jenkins over the years has jumped the spot from Slapsgiving 2
Season 6: Blitzgiving
Season 7: Tailgate
Season 8: Time Travelers
Season 9: How Your Mother Met Me, but Rally has my favorite "the Mother" scene
I love Best Burger in New York, but it is so hard to watch if I haven't already had a meal. Season 8 is one of my highest scored seasons on a per episode basis, and yet I really don't have a feel for the season in my memory. I tossed up Time Travelers.
Tasneem and Cersei probably the only two characters in TV history that not a damn thing that happens to them will satisfy me LOL. For the record I have finished GoT. No not satisfied with the shows conclusion.
Best Burger in New York is one of my favorites, but I can never watch it unless I've already had food. Because it makes me start craving a burger from one of my favorite spots in town. I have to say when I initially ranked my seasons for my discussion with my friend. I forgot how much I really had enjoyed Season 4. I had until that project assumed rightly that season 3 was my favorite, but I thought I liked season 2 more than I did. My composite score for season 8 surprised me as I didn't remember enjoying that season that much, but I scored most of those episodes 3 out 5 or higher. But, in terms of re-watch.
I think I still watch 1-4 more than all the other seasons. combined. I always seem to catch season 5 the most naturally in syndication when I'm flipping channels at night or on my lunch break. I don't really watch 7-9 that often. And really with season 9, I just go to youtube and watch the Tracy clips. We only got her for one season, but I think I'm going to have a crush on Cristin Milioti forever.
A few years back I actually was having this conversation with my best friend about our dispute over season 5. So it made me do a score ranking for each episode and then an average score for the season. This allowed me to determine my favorite seasons as follows:
Season 3
Season 4
Season 1
Season 8
Season 2
Season 7
Season 5
Season 6
Season 9
In some cases these are my favorites of the season, but not necessarily the ones I scored the highest.
Season 3 - Slapsgiving, The Bracket, How I Met Everyone Else, No Tomorrow, Miracles, and Sandcastles in the Sand
Season 4 - 3 Days of Snow, The Possimpble, The Naked Man, As Fast as She Can, The Leap
Season 1 - The Limo, The Pineapple Incident, Drumroll Please, The Pilot, Nothing Good After 2 A.M.
Season 8 - Time Travelers, The PreNup, The Autumn of Break Ups, Bad Crazy, Something New
Season 2 - Ted Mosby Architect, Slap Bet, Arrivederci Fiero, Atlantic City, Single Stamina
Season 7 - Tailgate, Trilogy Time, Good Crazy, The Best Man, The Naked Truth
Season 5 - Slapsgiving 2, Robin 101, The Playbook, Jenkins, Say Cheese
Season 6 - Glitter, Blitzgiving, Last Words, Bad News, Oh Honey
Season 9 - How Your Mother Met Me, Rally, Sunrise, Unpause, Gary Blauman
This is how I would devolve in a Purge based society. I hate bad drivers so much lol
