How I Met Your Mother Wait For It...

Third season is over and we all have to wait a couple of months til HIMYM is back. So, I thought this is a good time to reflect on the whole season, to say what you liked and what was bad.

Feel free to come up with ideas what should happen in the next season or what you wish for.

I disliked:
Ted and Barney's falling out.
Barney breaking the Bro code.
Only one episode centered around Robin.
Abby/Ashley/Amy.
The changing of storylines to fit in Abby/Ashley/Amy.
Probably more that I will come back with later!

What I liked:
The bro code.
The Brotp moments that didn't break the bro code.
Marshall & Lily being a cute married couple.
Ted's beard in 301.
The Friends/Cheers refrences.
Slapsgiving.
Finding out their flaws in Spoiler Alert.
Many, many, MANY more things =D


I hope that in the coming season:
Craig & Carter write stories to make the viewers laugh instead of writing stories to accommodate "celebrities"
Make more episodes for Cobie that isn't just about Robin Sparkles, I want to know more about her time in Canada.
And last but not least, in season 4, the thing I want the most is...............
The writers to tell us WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WITH THE PINEAPPLE!!
Heehee =P

I will be back with some more later!

On some points I totally agree with Sualey.

What was bad

Abby/Britney - It was absolutely superfluous to give that lady a role on the show. Enrique and Mandy seem to have a certain ability to act but Britney here was screaming her lines most of the time and it was more than obvious that her character was a misfit. Instead they should've written another great story for LAME or Robin.

Robin - This leads me to another point I disliked. On this I agree with Sualey. They didn't focus on Robin that much. We already know she was a Canadian popstar, and she had her moments with Barney but I somehow think we know the rest of the gang better than her.

The finale - I already mentioned it on this spot here a few times but I think I can't say it enough. It was kinda choppy, all the incidents seemed to be tumbling. If only they had focused on the story two eps as they did in S1 and 2... Sure the strike did play a big role and they didn't have enough time to work it out thoroughly.

The Bro Code - Well, if the violation of Bro Code had happened with another random chick, the whole BRo sleeping together thing wouldn't have been so hurtful. They could have picked it up in 3.04 Little Boys.


What I liked

St. Patty's Day - It was a great ep, though Ted turned into Barney. I liked it because seeing another side of Ted's character makes him more interesting. That's what he needs from time to time. Otherwise he just seems boring...

BRo - Or Robarn how some people call them... I already liked them in Zip, Zip, Zip. Seeing them together is always hilarious. I liked all those little moments they had.

LAME - I love to see how Marshall and Lily try to handle their problems. It's always funny. They are so sweet planning their future together. It's nice to watch them finally going ahead with Dowisetrepla.

Sarah Chalke - Though I don't want Stella to turn out to be the mother, I think Sarah's doing a great job on the show and fits very well, better than any other guest star on HIMYM.

What I wish for

More BRo - I just need to see how Barney and Robin evolve within a relationship. Yeah, it'd be great to see that. We know both of them aren't into this whole couple stuff...

The past - A few days earlier I was talking with a friend of mine how great it'd be to see an episode like the ones on Friends, what if... This is just something I make up in my own little world but I think it would be fun : D

Baby - LAME should have kids.

Yeah that's all for now. I'm going rewatch season 3 and I think I might add some stuff too then.

yeah.. i want to watch the whole season in sequel- but im pretty sure it will involve some skipping and fast forwarding

right now..its been the weakest season but like i said i will definitely approach s4 diffently- does anyone know when its back!? ( fall..but any specific info!?)
oh and i just remembered this
Ted: Come on, wouldn't it be the coolest story ever if the slutty pumpkin turned out to be my future wife?
Lily: Oh, on the off chance that could happen, maybe we should stop calling her the 'Slutty Pumpkin'.

i say: slutty pumkin=soulmate=girl at the bar=MOTHER
Remember where you heard it first :P

ok i am watching episode 14 now..
its better the second time around..the whole season generally i think
two things i noticed:

in no tomorrow future ted says " i found oot years later your mother had been at that party" however if stella is the mother its only an "oh you were at THAT party st.paddys day" moment that will happen some time in the future...doesnt rule her oot but i still hope shes not the mother.
but he doesnt say later..he says years later- so i hope that means something :D

on every desk there are always toy cars..and i think a train somewhere. on teds desk, on barneys desk i think even on the guys desk from the porn magazine who interviews ted..not sure if that was the train..and i think there is even a toy bus on the shelf in 2030..im not sure if the prop person has a thing for vehicles..or if this is some secret code we are not getting :)....yet!
