Vince Gilligan was hilarious. Annie's brother is Anthony, right? Apparently the actor is on the Community crew and if I paid attention to Harmontown I would know a lot about him? But I don't.
Funnily enough, I did not recognize Gina Gershon even enough to want to look her up. She just seemed kind of familiar.
OK, the brother was Anthony? I'd not kept track of the character's name for some reason, but they did credit him. Although the name the actor had seemed weirdly pretentious, so who knows who was behind that beard.
I quit watching HIMYM after... 3 or 4 seasons? I can't remember. But boy, there are a lot of people on my dash who are pissed off about the finale.
Yeah, the TV critics I follow on Twitter were furious.
They stuck to the ending they planned in season 2 and then spent seven years working against it and then used it anyway. I liked a lot of the finale, but they ended the entire show wrong.
I feel like they made so many narrative decisions that were lazy, trite and boring. Disappointing.
As I was just saying in Natter, I think it's ridiculous on the face of it that Ted and Robin are Meant To Be, especially so many years later. People actually can get over each other! And Robin and Barney were great together.
Agreed. The whole Destiny business annoys me SO MUCH
Linda Holmes' piece on Monkey See captures exactly how I feel about it.
That's a good piece, as is James Poniewozik's Time piece that she links to.
I was really, really hoping the show would stick the landing. I'm disappointed that it didn't, but goddamn if the actual scene where Ted meets the Mother wasn't wonderful.
