TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

we know that's not true because he didn't have LaRussa killed

Anyone watched how I Met Your Mother all the way thru? I'm guessing not since it never gets mentioned here so i won't spoiler this but rumor has it that that Ted's wife has been dead the entire time, which imo would be incredibly sad considering the subject matter of the show.

I think i stopped watching around season 4, not because i lost interest, but mainly because i just kinda forgot about it then never picked it back up...i set my dvr to record the series finale on monday though.

Yeah, they dropped some pretty serious hints 2 or 3 episodes ago that she's either dead or is dying. I don't rule out a swerve, but that's definitely what it indicated to me.

I'm going to miss the show when it's over, but it needs to end. They introduced the mother at the end of last season, but she's been in maybe half the episodes this season. They did one whole episode on rhyming which didn't advance the story at all (when it really needed to). The 2nd half of the season was better, but it's clear the writers couldn't go any longer.

We've watched it all the way through, my fiancee really really loves the show and was actually angry at the show for insinuating that the mom was dying. That whole Ted-trying-not=to-cry at dinner episode laid it out clearly, and the internet pretty much blew up when it happened. Whoooops, you [expletive] it up writers.

We always keep one "turn your brain off" show in the queue, we've gone through all of 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Scandal (I gave up half way through season 2, not for me), and starting last week, Veronica Mars.

How did I miss out on Veronica Mars? I don't remember it being on TV at all. Veronica Mars was a perfect show for high school drama, surprised it wasn't more popular.

It was popular. So much so it recently crowd-funded $6 million to produce a movie.

(I did not watch the show, but knew it was on the WB/CW.)

Saw the kickstarter, it's why I looked up the show. Couldn't have been too popular, it was cancelled after 3 seasons.

It was a casualty of the merger of the WB and UPN that created the CW. They suddenly had only half the timeslots available, and for whatever reason, Veronica Mars didn't make the cut.

Well I thought the Walking Dead season finale was pretty damned good. Of course, they leave you hanging something awful.

I own both the compendium graphic novels so I might have to get back into them & take a look. They've said this season has stayed somewhat in line with how they've went.

First great episode of the whole second-half of the season and it is the one right before a 6 month wait until new episodes kick off.
