Seasons 8 and 9 were so frustrating to watch

stlavin95

Yeah they definitely were.

PhoenixRising

OMG, what episode was that from, Crystal? I hate not remembering all these episodes. It's been so long since I've seen them.

Yeah, but remember, Amber, that wasn't really Robin talking to Ted in The Broath, that was Robin in Ted's imagination. But you're right that it's telling how she said, "I didn't say it back" instead of "I don't love you back." She was just holding back and not saying it because... well, they never explained why, which is one of the things that frustrated me about the writers. And yes, seasons 8 and 9 were a real pain. Things got dragged out way too long.

You're right, Sam. But I think those other shows had no idea where they were going. Bays and Thomas knew how they were gonna end their story, but I think they should've stayed more focused and not strayed all over the place with Ted and Robin.

stlavin95

Yeah the writers definitely should done a better job with that.

I think you were thinking of Teds imagination in Good Crazy..the Broath was when they were fighting over Quinn's apt and she asked to talk to him in the hall . i agree about the writers if they were more clear in why Robin said "no" it would have hopefully eliminated all this Robin never loved Ted nonsense. Yes they really dragged out season 9. I skip a lot of those episodes

stlavin95

Season 9 is my least favourite season.

Purplerose82

Same here..too many filler episodes and awful story lines

stlavin95

I loved How Your Mother Met Me though.

Purplerose82

That was a good one..I was never invested in T/T but it was nice to see her backstory. I like Sunrise, Daisy, Platonish and Gary Blauman

stlavin95

Yeah it was great to see and I was invested in T/T.

PhoenixRising

Oh, okay. I didn't remember Robin every bringing up that conversation from No Pressure in later episodes. But yeah, I was hoping that they'd eventually explain Robin's reply, but they never did. I think the writers were just being lazy.

Oh, and I did like all those season 9 episodes you mentioned. Sunrise was my favorite. And How Your Mother Met Me was also good because it set up the finale... how Tracy was mourning Max but later found Ted, and Ted would mourn Tracy and end up back with Robin.

stlavin95

Yeah it did set up the finale

Purplerose82

I love Sunrise...they didn't seem to concerned with finding Barney yes How Your Mother Met Me was definitely foreshadowing the finale. There were so many clues I notice little things every time I rewatch

PhoenixRising

Did you notice how Robin left the blue French horn at Ted's apartment after she moved out? That was another foreshadowing for me. I wondered where Ted got the horn he was holding in the finale in 2030. Did he hold on to that thing all that time?

Purplerose82

That always confused me because it was chained up at the restaurant
