| I love this show! (OMG what am I saying?) |

Yesterday I finished S1 of How I Met Your Mother. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with the show and I don't know how. After finishing episode eight, I was ready to break up with the show as I found it generally unfunny and the characters mostly blah, pretty normal white people who I couldn't really relate to. And Barney who I initially loved came across as your average womanizing guy which gets annoying really fast. But there are a bunch of smart people with good taste on my Flist who really love it so I kept giving it a chance because I couldn't understand where their tastes could be so wrong.
And they were right. WOW! The episode after the eighth was actually the start of a run of good episodes that kept me falling in love with it (totally unaware). I was even getting over the laugh track which drove me crazy at first (I am spoiled by The Office/Arrested Development) because I can't stand people fake laughing at stuff that's not funny as well as the humor not being quite as brilliant as I was used to. But by the wedding episodes I was starting to adore all the characters and relationships. And the show began to play with time (which works perfectly with the premise of the show) and do some unique things like cool visual stuff. And I could really see the show becoming a lot smarter over time and towards the end even made me compare it to The Office which is saying something. The show is finally getting that repetition and coming back to jokes in unique ways makes it even funnier.
( Spoilers for S1 episodes of HIMYM )
And WESLEY!! I know why he's there but Wesley *happy sigh* I've missed him. I need to see some S3 Buffy episodes. Also, FRED :D And when she was mentioning him indirectly, I was cracking up. Mmm Wes has not gotten any less hot no matter what his personality.
In other much more disheartening news, I lost all my Vividcon panel notes *cries* My mom threw them out most likely (*STABS*) or put them somewhere where they are lost. I have moved past my hate and grief (man, I NEVER write notes! Vidding meta is LOVE!) to general disappointment. I am really sorry to anyone who was looking forward to reading them and wish I had written them up sooner. This is not good news in my quest to finally finish my con report (which I'm still going to do, I swear!). ETA: Nevermind, I found them!! I never forget Vividcon (too much) at least. Still miss it though. |
