Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical
That's why I'm having such an issue with the ending. I know it totally makes sense how they wrapped it up, but I still can't get over how quickly they moved passed it. I know the kids know she's dead but we didn't. I don't know exactly what I would have done differently other than introducing the mother earlier, but I just can't get over how annoying it was.
I totally agree with the other points, and about Psych. They wrapped that one up very neatly and everyone was happy in the end with a group hug over a dead body. Can't get much better than that!
I gotta say, it is fun to watch people get upset over fictional characters though.
To address some points though:
Why would we get all that time to deal with the mother dying. The point is Ted is telling the story to his kids, they know their mom died and how it happened. he is not going to spend a ton of time on that part of the story because they were there. They wanted to know how he came to meet her. Seeing as almost every important point in the story involved Robin and how they each felt about each other the kids got how he felt.
As for Barney reverting back to his old self, that is pretty common after a divorce. He completely remade himself to be the perfect man for Robin and it still wasnt good enough. He is at his best when he has someone to inspire to be that way and his daughter finally did it for good.
The ending wasnt perfect (Psych is the only perfect ending I have seen in a long time) but I thought it wrapped it up well and was consistent with the whole point of the show.
