himym season 2 reaction

Mar 20, 2009 14:17

Okay, finished up HIMYM season 2 and that means another reaction post.

I'm still quite enjoying this show, it's funny and just fun. I think the fannish gears are starting to spin, though not fully on yet.

I think I can say that Ted and Robin are my favorite characters. Marshall and Lily or adorable and I love them, but not the way I love Ted and Robin. And Barney is...a good extra flavor. Barney causes mixed feelings in me because he is fun and is fairly cool to watch even but he's just not my type of character; but the show wouldn't be the same without him.

As expected I'm saddened by the Ted/Robin breakup. Sure it was well handled and reasonable and well set up and in character, and rather inevitable, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. They weren't perfect together, and it was always going to end for pretty much the reasons it did, but they just worked for me anyway.

Even after two seasons I'm still not sure how I feel about the voice overs. They don't add all that much usually and they're not all that interesting most of the time, but sometimes they're good and they do serve the purpose of reminding viewers that this is being told in flashback. Still, iffy.
