Maybe there's a daylight sayings time mix up? After all, this website does look 10 years old, and back then DST didn't start until mid April.

I'm gonna go eat a bowl of cereal.  When I get back the result's better be up.

What the heck is this? I get "Welcome fellow" on a Fastlane Demo site with information that isn't mine. April fools?

 

Edit: Seriously, go to the Fastlane icon, click it and you'll get all worlds of messed up :/

I didn't even apply. I'm just cheering for this thread like it's my local sports team. Go GC!

It's a Demo site, not the real live GRFP site.

I was disappointed. Avoiding spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet, I thought the ending cheapened a lot of the story's development.

 

I've watched every season except the last one (caught up on netflix but the last season was already underway). Is the season overall good? I feel like the show really went downhill in seaosn 8.

I personally don't like the 9th season. It had some good episodes, but they were really stretching it. However, I do have a friend who thought it was the best season yet.

 No, not good. Yes, really went downhill.

This is an incredibly addictive way to kill the time (for some reason, more so than the original version)...

It's best just to pretend that season 9 never happened.

I thought this season was better than last though.

Word.

Alright folks, I'm off to watch the 30minute weekly long-term weather forecast. Hopefully the results are up by the time it's done.

Well, I think seasons 1-3/4ish were the plateau. Seems like that's the normal trend for most TV shows.

I bet the NSF people are on this thread right now giggling at all of our posts of anguish...

Up to 600 viewers now. That was quick.

[Robear16]

TORTURE

[tschlich]

surely it cant be much longer now

[roboticsapplicant]

That version of 2048 is pretty good though. Got me distracted for a whole 2 minutes.

 

WHY AREN'T THE RESULTS UP YET?

[Trantorian]

Well, to be fair, this season would have been good, if they didn't make it so slow at the wrong times, and so quick at the wrong times.. D:

This is a perfect metaphor for this GRFP season.

Yeah, I agree. But I feel like 9 finally started to pick up and closing plotlines around halfway through. I didn't hate the ending, but I suspect it's because I heard rumors that turned out to be true and thus was expecting them. Gave me time to prepare. Given the development of HIMYM over the years, I felt it was actually rather fitting.

Interesting. I'll try to watch it asap, but I am thinking from what has been said the ending will turn out to be similar to LOST. At first there appears to be widespread dissatisfaction with it, but over time people will come to see it as a very fitting ending. I think with these kinds of shows we come to be very invested in we tend to set up our own expectations for how we want the show to end but we need time to digest things and realize that what we wanted or expected is not always best.
