It's slightly painful to wander around LJ and see the hearts of the hardcore Barney/Robin shippers slowly breaking, poor lambs.
it is. i was really hoping TPTB would see what kind of chemistry NPH and CS had and revel in it. at least for a few episodes. instead it's just a plot device for Ted to "break-up" with Barney. bah.
There's what, 20 years left on this voiceover?
well...yeah, but the kids are in their teens. so there's not a whole lot of time left for them to finally reveal who the mother is.
Even if the oldest kid is 15, there's still a good 6 years of cushion. Why he would have started the story so long before meeting their mother is another question, but that's nothing new. Anyway, Aunt Robin and Uncle Barney could easily be together by then.
Plus, they're jumping the gun! There's what, 20 years left on this voiceover?
And there's a part of me that just wants to be grumpy about it all. "You darn kids, so impatient! You got mid-season sex and angst, for heaven's sake! Why, back in the days of Chandler/Monica shipping, we didn't see a dern thing until
ten minutes
before the summer hiatus, and then we had to make do with three and a half months of second-hand foilers! In Morse code! Delivered by the Pony Express! Kids today don't know how good they got it, by cracky!"
The Office -- First, a warning -- if you are spoilerphobic, don't go anywhere near TV Guide or the like for the next week. Even the title of the episode is spoilery.
Is Michael's meltdown becoming more public, or am I just noticing that there are now non-DM witnesses to what he does?
Kudos to Ed Helms. The business with the beer could have been watch-from-the-hall-cringeworthy. He made it funny.
Line of the night -- Creed, "I got all my work done months ago."
Pam seems about one inappropriate comment away from filing a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Line of the night -- Creed, "I got all my work done months ago."
yes! I had to rewind and watch that a bunch of times.
I also like the way Stanley seems to be the new breakout character. But I suspect that "don't give a damn and don't care who knows it" gets stale fairly quickly.
What was Dr. Cox's last line on Scrubs? My signal got interrupted.
Something like "Let's just say that's the way I'm telling the story."
my
mom
spoiled me for The Office. It's OK though- it'll be out on DVD before I have time to catch up.
