It was weird and irreverent and not everyone's cuppa. <br /><br />Don't kill ME, but I've never seen Gilmore Girls. I have had many friends try to get me into it but I just never sat down and watched it.

I'm, as a rule, not a big fan of vampires. I did, though, see the movie. That counts...right? <br /><br />Moving on.<br /><br />My favorite thing about How I Met Your Mother is how well the writers do with continuity. They are great with remembering these little, perhaps insignificant, things that happened in earlier episodes. The characters are consistent, and have made believable growth. The writers must have seventeen thousand binders of tidbits about the show and its characters. It's admirable. I hate it when the writers forget who their characters are and make them do something stupid (I'm looking at you, new writers of Gilmore Girls for the last season...Lorelai would NEVER do that!!!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952125198101179121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609284582131445193.post-86266582642144668542013-05-10T10:49:29.202-04:002013-05-10T10:49:29.202-04:00How I Met Your Mother is only a little strange.

He is telling his teenage children the story of how he met their mother. But he's telling it in a long, drawn out fashion, telling them all the missteps that happened along the way. The entire show is supposed be one sit down with his kids (who you may see sporadically at the beginning of some episodes always wearing the same outfits). So the show is one huge flashback with lots of digressions.

Damnit."<br /><br />I like the cast of How I Met Your Mother, but I don't get the story line - who the narrator is talking to and why. It's too strange to me.<br /><br />xoRobynRawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609284582131445193.post-80886867129776957562013-05-08T13:44:55.456-04:002013-05-08T13:44:55.456-04:00Never finished?

He was sexy bad. Broke my heart when he cried when Buffy died before the move to CW.<br /><br />I don't remember the exact quote, but I think it was after Buffy and Angel's break-up, and she had that speech on her bed about not being able to breathe without him.

They were both volatile, sexy and crazy. Seems right. But it never played right for me. I liked Spike as he was and watching him be Dru's lapdog was funny. Watching him be Buffy's was pathetic. Plus the whole attempted rape thing squicked me out hardcore and was never really addressed. It was too much. The worst part for me was that they always used every relationship to punish Buffy. She was always filled with shame for every person she ever loved. Being with Spike filled her with intense shame and that was one thing I never forgave Marti Noxen for. Don't make her shame-y. I hate that.<br /><br />I never had a particular ship for Buffy. Riley was ten pounds of doofus crammed into a five pound bag. He didn't deserve her. Angel was... really complicated. And also too filled with shame to be with her. Xander, no. She never respected him. Loved him yes, but never gave him respect. I really liked Principal Robin for her until he went all vampire fucknuts crazy on her.<br /><br />I never shipped anyone on that show except... well I had a secret ship that I have kept to myself because it's wrong. I'll never tell. <br /><br />Buffy was meant to walk alone. Walk alone, walk alone. <br /><br />Oooh I like that quote!

I think they would have worked had Buffy just gotten over Angel. I mean, I liked B & A together, but there was too much water under the bridge for them to really work. Spike was better for her. Okay, I'm ducking now so you don't hit me as I know my theory is quite unpopular with my fellow Buffy fans. :) Fave quote on love is a lyric from Aerosmith "For every love letter written, there's another one burned."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.com
