Wield I feel like HIMYM has slowed a bit in this season, I still give it 5 stars... Why? Because they did what 95% of other shows don't: they tied up nearly every loose end from every season. While at times I felt like this season was disjointed, and some of the characters didn't grow, or even regressed, they have prepared for the end... IN my opinion next season could be the final hurrah. I love this show to the bottom of my heart, but I don't want this show to turn into the last seasons of ER... They need to end on a high note, and soon. I don't want to lose one of my favorite shows to the demons of poor writing, and lack of ideas. Good season, worried for the next.
