Group Dynamic

Do you think that in real life a dynamic like this would actually work?
(for clarification: where the two guys in the group have a thing for the single girl and have on and off dated her)
If not who would you think would be leaving the group had it been a real situation? Or the whole group just would be ruined and they would break it off?

How do you feel?

A couple weeks ago, I finished HIMYM, and only now I’m seeing videos of it all over TikTok. Such as edits, their takes on how the show was constructed, so on and so forth. But what’s standing out to me more is that I keep seeing people on TikTok talk about their takes on the ending, and honestly I was surprised to see how many people actually liked the ending with Ted and Robin. I really disliked the ending, for multiple reasons I could probably chat about later but I just wanted to see everyone’s take on it. So how’d you feel about it?

SO1 Robin scherbatsky was peak beauty

Come on everyone thought that Robin was way out of ted's league when we first saw the pilot episode, she was imposed to be so charismatic, and that charismatic only grew, season after season, untill, she didn't brake up with Kevin and gave that look to Barney, comeon we all hated her at that part.

Lost Canadians Law: The Government of Canada does not get an extension soon, it would make Barney a citizen of Canada

Okay the short form is that the Canadian courts are making the government change the rules on how citizenship can be passed down to Canadians who do not live in Canada, but the Tories are currently throwing a fit in Parliament so very little gets done now

They had an extension from the courts, but that is running out and the court might not grant another one.

Which could mean ANYONE DESCENDED FROM A CANADIAN CITIZEN BECOMES A CANADIAN CITIZEN IF THEY DO THE PAPERWORK if the Government does not get another extension.

That would include Barney as a quarter Canadian.

What are things you like and dislike about the finale?

I just finished the show, and personally i like the angle of ted and robin getting together, and the whole show sorta being him trying to accept that he can move on from tracys death and his kids telling him that really helps, i actually enjoy how ted and robin find eachother in the end because although robin never wanted kids there were points you could see her changing and just denying it, and it mirrors tracys journey. I also dont even dislike tracys death!

I also enjoy barney and ellie, its messy how she happened but realistically thats barneys karma, and i knew since james' wedding early on and robins pregnancy scare that barney wanted a kid, and i like how he shows commitment to ellie, its sorta like he got his world view flipped and has someone to show love to whilst still being himself.

On tracys death too, the whole show is about HOW he met their mother, surely kids with no mom have asked about where she is so skipping over talking about her death and stories about her makes sense, because theyve probably asked what was she like several times and heard the story.

My biggest gripe is with robin and barney splitting and skimming. I like barney and teds endings it shows their growth, but for a 2 parter ending their divorce couldve had some more time for development.

Episode Request

I'm trying to find an episode where a coworker of Marshall's comes onto him. I don't remember exactly how it goes except that Lily doesn't believe him. Later in the episode, the woman apologizes to Lily and Lily attacks her.

I've tried googling but all that pops up is different fights Lily and Marshall have had. Anybody have any idea?

Do you guys think Barney would be able to pull a move with a Japanese girl, related somehow to Godzilla? What would be it?

For those in relationships, what are the decisions and events in your life over the years that led to you meeting your SO, like Ted highlights throughout the show?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot- especially since the alternate ending where Ted bulletpoints all the things he did over the years that led him to meet Tracy, and how it was all so simple. For me, I believe it was so simple.

Here is mine:

  • get a minimum wage after secondary school while in first year of college
  • become friends with one of my co workers
  • co worker introduces me to his friend group
  • I become close with friend group and they become my friend group/best friends
  • I start dating a girl
  • we go out one day in our local park and we meet another bunch of our friends
  • we get closer to those two friends and form one big group
  • we’re all best friends
  • girl I’m dating and I kind of break up. We are still hanging out and kind of together during the summer
  • summer is over and on to final year of college
  • girl finally breaks it off with me and it devastates me, leading me to fully look at myself and get the help I’ve always needed
  • dive headfirst into my social life and college work, luckily both go hand in hand.
  • around this time it’s my university’s Christmas jumper day so my friends and I all go out to the pubs to have fun
  • my friend (let’s call her mary) brings her best friend in college out with us
  • a girl walks into the room where we’re sitting in the pub and I just can’t take my eyes off of her. She makes a beeline to the table as if she knew us but no one does
  • turns out she’s mary’s friend, and also my mary’s best friend’s roommate
  • I do the stupid and brave thing to talk with her on the way home and we just click

All very simple steps. I just had to go out on Christmas Day.

Daily routine of the characters

What do you think the day to day routine was of the characters? Assuming after their 9-5s they would meet mclarens or Ted’s apartment, what would the rest of their day look like? Just sitting around talking, eating dinner until 10,11pm on a weeknight?
