OTHER NEWS

  • The commentary about the HIMYM finale has continued at a furious pace online - and it’s almost universally negative. Actor Josh Radnor addressed some of the backlash in an interview with Vulture Magazine: "I thought the title of the show was always a bit of a fake-out. It was more of a hook to hang the thing on. Really it was more about these are the crazy adventures and these are the lessons I had to learn before I met your mother. But, also, part of the DNA of the show is they lead you one way and then they pull you back. You think you’re watching one thing in an episode and then it turns out you’re watching something completely different. I think that the twists in the finale were in keeping with that.”
