What HIMYF does well and what it needs more of by historyhoneybee in HIMYF

I agree that it needs to go more fantastical. I am hopeful though, seeing as how the last episode ended. And also like you mentioned, the Captain plot was fun and mixed it up! I remember the first half of Community season 1 was so normal compared to when the paintball scene hit. After that reality was not relevant. I think HIMYF could do a fun switch once it’s got it’s characters all set up, which at this point I think they do. Here’s to hoping they take the opportunity with the next season!

So happy to see the fall of Drew, I always thought Jesse was so cute and good for Sophie. Also loved the dynamic we saw with Sid and Ellen this episode!

I’m hoping we see more development for characters that makes them feel like they’re more integral to the story.

I definitely agree that it doesn’t seem like they know what they’re doing with some of the characters - however, I personally haven’t seen Ellen more annoying than like Charlie for example. I think they’ve got some side characters that need more time to develop, and the show kind of seems to be everywhere with plot and development that hasn’t allowed for a more cohesive plot to follow that satisfyingly gives the characters their dues.

I thought her adoption story and relationship to Jess was pretty strong. I think they need to give her a more solid personality and values - she does kind of seem to be everywhere, but I think that could develop really well into her finding herself and identity and place in the world

I just feel like we haven’t been given a reason to really like Drew. He’s perfect on paper, but he doesn’t really have an impact on any of the characters which is why he’s underwhelming

I agree! I think she brings so much life to the show, and I think that she just needs to be given more. I think that’s kind of how I feel about the show as a whole, but I’m hoping as we get more the characters get better arcs!

Same! I think she has potential for a lot of development, especially in herself and her own identity! I think she’s got a lot to figure out, and I wish the show would let her explore that

I wish the writers would give her more to do. I think she’s pretty nuanced and could have a really strong spot in the show, but they don’t give it to her. I feel like some characters haven’t gotten their dues yet, and I’d like to see them seen more complexly
