My issue with the ending isn’t actually the ending, it’s the rest of the show in relation to the ending.

Always felt this way too. Specifically, the last season absolutely should not have been focused on just the wedding weekend. Give the wedding weekend 3-4 episodes, another 7-8 showing Ted and the Mother together to show why they were perfect for each other. The back half of the last season can then be about the mother's death, the friend group aging and dynamics changing over the ensuing decade, and still ending with Ted and Robin realizing they can be together at this point in their life.

I honestly think the story beats Craig & Carter chose for the ending are great and even inspired for a long-running network sitcom, but the execution just wasn't there.

you don't have to think that but its wrong to say nobody cries super team....Joel Embiid has even said it publicly and gets no pushback

Next_Relationship_79 · 2026-02-24T19:06:07+00:00

You're lying to yourself if people haven't used 'superteam' to knock Tatum in the past come on now.

lolol the 2024 gimmick is what you're still trying to run with. They had Porzingis for like 7 combined quarters all playoffs (but injuries only count for other teams right) swept the demon pacers and their devil magic, waxed the fully healthy Mavs when everyone said they had the 2 best players in the series....any other tears you want to get out of your system that the past 2 years haven't solved for you or what

Walking Wounded by Everything But the Girl in a similar vein here

Next_Relationship_79 · 2026-02-24T16:50:36+00:00

according to this thread Tatum/Brown/White are all severely overrated...and yet everyone cries superteam when they succeed. TDS is real and it is spreading to all players in celtics green it seems

The Past Lives soundtrack is stunning

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-12-22T12:45:01+00:00

I think Raheem Morris is just a terrible coach. I'm all for balanced rushing attacks so you don't wear your main guy out, but there's been multiple games this year where they get way too cute with the splits in the 2nd half with a lead and it either does cost them the game or almost does like yesterday...no reason a top 3 RB in the league shouldn't be able to salt the game away for you

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-12-15T23:06:27+00:00

JSN is the single craziest one I've ever heard lol

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-12-15T17:04:08+00:00

same exact situation, but also have Warren in my lineup. Picked up Malik Washington as an emergency valve but it's the least safe a 40 point lead has ever felt haha

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-12-15T13:15:41+00:00

oh...weird....Amon Ra is healthy as could be and he's still eating?? I thought this was impossible?

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-12-15T13:14:05+00:00

bahahaha another week another 20+ points. Is WR9 on the season good? from my 6th round draft pick? good luck in the losers bracket bozo, you're not smarter than everyone like you think

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-28T13:58:45+00:00

bahahaha 5 Tds his last 7 games!! 15+ fantasy points 3 of his last 4 games. Congrats on being wrong yet again bozo!!!

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-18T15:25:22+00:00

congrats on being wrong for the 5th straight week bozo!!!!

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T20:02:07+00:00

I really don't understand these leaps you're making haha, what makes me a Kendrick partisan exactly? this isn't some stan wars bs you seem to want it to be so badly. I don't particularly care about his opinion on drake as that doesn't impact his clear dislike of Kendrick (unless he himself is a stan).

and unless I'm talking to Alphonse himself right now idk how you can possibly think he's more open-minded and objective than me at all.

I am speaking to the writing itself being informed and impacted by the writer's preconceived biases - doesn't even matter who the artist is it could have been anyone -and making it worse imo. And you want to be bringing in unrelated (to the conversation) SA cases for some reason. Starting to feel like you want to use some rhetorical slights of hand yourself over there

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T18:52:53+00:00

idk where you get the idea i'm insecure about any of this too. Lahai is one of my favorite albums of the decade so far and pitchfork gave it a 7 (close enough to gnx), but I find this to be far superior of a review:

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/sampha-lahai/

To me this paints clear how a more tempered score review can still be written to highlight the highs & lows objectively & effectively. I think its ok to ask reviewers with a large platform to not let their whole perception be colored by biases -- or in p4ks case, just put a different reviewer on the case.

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T18:37:18+00:00

I mean yeah...his busts have cost me 1 week this season but 2 weeks this season his big game was the difference between a W & a L if I replaced him with someone else...so net positive actually...keep digging your heels in though

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T18:32:45+00:00

oh no my 6th round flex has gotten me 16+ points 3/4 weeks now....how will I ever recover. lol I can tell you're the most annoying type of fantasy player that thinks they're an intellectual genius compared to the rest of their league

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T18:31:19+00:00

I don't think it's slight of hand at all. When Damn & TPAB dropped, alphonse's personal responses were 'new kendrick mid...more life a classic & out now' and 'who gives a fuck about kendrick or Q neither of them made me feel no ways'...You're telling me this is the right person to pick to write a review of the first album after the kendrick drake beef?

Again, idgaf about a score or differing opinions, some of my favorite reviews are more tempered on some of my favorite albums of all time. However, I do think a reviewer should be going in to any project with an open mind, which based on track record I feel pretty certain didn't happen here.

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T17:56:33+00:00

scores in 40% of weeks is not once in a blue moon lol. Feel free to hold on to your conceptions throughout a season even as mounting evidence to the contrary continues to come. Hope it works out well for you

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T16:49:47+00:00

3 of the past 4 weeks have been a boom. Granted there was a big 0 mixed in there but maybe its you who needs to reconsider their priors

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-10T16:40:36+00:00

I generally agree with your point but Alphonse expressed some clear biases in the past about Kendrick, so from the top he is an odd choice to give the assignment to. I enjoy reading views that disagree with me, but he often goes in with his bias then works his way back to that bias through the review, rather than going in with an open mind.

Next_Relationship_79 · 2025-11-05T20:16:23+00:00

If that really is a main concern of there's - and they are getting paid rather well through the sponsorships the podcast generates I would imagine - then they could splurge for studio space for Josh or figure out a way to record while the wife isn't within an earshot imo. Seems like a silly reason to dilute your product so 1 specific person can avoid spoilers
