I'm not saying I'll be happy if she dies, but the title is "How I Met Your Mother," not "How Your Mother And I Lived Happily Ever After". I don't see that ending being inconsistent with the general idea of the series up to this point.

I don't want the mother to be dead at the end but it could make sense if he's wrapped up in his stories like they talk about in the last episode, telling his kids about how they came to be, him trying to deal with the loss by remembering how it all happen...as the "guy who lives in his stories." “life only moves forward” so it could fit...idk

Awww c'mon, now you've ruined it for those of us who never watched it.

I suppose now you're gonna tell me that Robb Stark gets his head chopped off and they sew his Direwolf's head onto his body?!!!

I think people are stretching. None of the quotes referenced make infinite more sense with her dead than alive.

Bingo. Ted being sad could be because she dies, or his mom dies, or her mom dies, or someone spilled a Scotch...

And even if it is fortelling her dying (doesnt everyone die at some point) that point looks way beyond the time period where he is telling his kids the story. Doesnt seem inconsistent at all.

Gee, Maizerage hates something pretty much everyone else enjoyed. SHOCKED! I bet you have a handlebar mustache too dont you! I live in Hipsterland I know your type :p

I agree too. There is nothing definitive one way or the other about the Mother. That's why I'm still holding out hope it will have a happy ending.

Ahhhhh, spoilers. Kidding of course.

You mean the guy who is diagnosed with terminal cancer in the first episode dies at the end of a show? You don't say.

Goddam but that final episode of True Detective was good.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Anyone watch Cosmos? I missed it but I hope it was interesting given all the hype surrounding it.

I caught the 2nd half of the episode... Seemed kinda boring honestly... Not a whole lot of information in there... Seemed like most of the effort was having Neil DeGrasse Tyson narrating in front of a green screen... I'll take THE UNIVERSE over this any day of the week...

Yeah it was. The last 5-10 minutes was great acting, both Matt and Woody showing convincing moments of weakness (for want of a better word) and hurt.

Watched the first half....bored out of my skull. I like information shows like that, but it was sooooooo dryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson, but that was pretty boring. I enjoy Michio Kaku as well, maybe he would do better.

One of the best acted shows I've seen in quite a while. Right up there with Breaking Bad. Loved the story, though, with that story, I think they could have gone with more episodes, but I understand the need to keep it to 8, to get the acting talent to commit.

Some may consider this slightly spoilerish, so I'll go with the white lettering.

After all of the off-the wall theories, it turned out to be pretty straightforward. I like that they didn't think that they needed some crazy twist at the end, and they were right, it worked great the way the did it.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

So, anyone want to explain The Mentalist? Red John's dead, we're 3 years into the future, and yet his legacy lingers???

I don't get it.

2 eps in and Hannibal is even better than last season so far.

Really? Cause it's not really pulling me in. It's still moving slow, but the element of creepiness that was there last season just doesn't seem to be there now. Maybe True Detective has spoiled me, cause even when there was nothing really happening, in had intensity and creepiness up the wazoo.

I like how at the end of True Detective, the two partners, who had been friendly but not really friends, if you know what I mean, actually seemed to come together in a true friendship. I think Cohle let go a little of his pessimistic worldview and began accepting the world and his place in it as it was, and Hart began to see past all that to the person within, and began to relate to him on that level.

Plus, the dueling middle fingers was hysterical.

I feel like the slow build is working. I felt a lot of tension between Hannibal and Gillian's character and her encounter with Will at the pen. I like that in EP2 Will is faking for some that he no longer blames Hannibal. I like the cross-analyzation going on between so many of the characters, etc. Perhaps it's not been as dangerous per se so far, but I can wait because I'm sure it's coming and the story had been fulfilling enough.
