I feel like Brody likes Robin because she's the man he wishes he could be.

Ted is by far the most annoying person on HIMYM. NPH and JS are the sex though.
How can you hate Lily though?

I thought it was good, not great, but it's a pilot. I definitely don't get why people hated it so much. I will definitely be tuning in next week and for the rest of the season.
You haven't watched it yet GF?! I thought we were bros!

I'm kind of loaded and the Mets/Yanks game was on plus I just had some family **** to deal with. Bad combination for Sunday night TV viewing but I'm going to give it a go soon.

I don't get why people hated it so much but maybe I'm just a fanboy.

I liked it myself. I think it rustles many jimmies. IE calling this generation the worst generation calling out the media. etc etc etc.

The Newsroom was awesome. Fantastic pilot. Sorkin is a genius.

What show was this?
Nvrmind, the Newsroom looks good, but I don't have HBO.

Which is completely and utterly wrong, and just more of Sorkin's narcissistic complex telling him how great his generation is. Too bad the Baby Boomers are easily the worst.

For HIMYM, if anything, Robin doesn't get enough plot for a main character. Yes Ted is annoying, he screws up the same way so many times and always thinks the world is out to get him. Lily is annoying when she's being manipulative and passive-aggressive to get others to do what she wants. At least, they've ben cutting down on that lately.
Marshall and Barney are easily the best characters.

Checked out The Newsroom. The opening diatribe was pretty awesome, as was the end, but the middle was a bit boring. I will continue watching.

Pretty much my thoughts. After the opening I didn't care much for anything that went on until the BP story broke.

I sort of feel the same way but I was ok with it. It was the pilot so they were setting up the characters and the story going forward so I was fine with a little boring.
And Alison Pill is kind of a little cutie.

<3 Alison Pill. The Other Me, In Treatment, Milk, Scott Pilgrim.
Dev Patel also just has natural charisma.
Only caught half of the episode. Was pretty good, will have to check out the rest.

I don't get the hate for The Newsroom, I thought the episode was pretty damn good. Despite it being a little over the top Sorkin at times I am looking forward to the rest of the season.

Anyone watching Falling Skies? I enjoyed the first season and the premier. Missed yesterdays episode though :(
Not a bad summer series, imo

It's good for a summer series but it's kind of cheesy and over the top sometimes.

He's starting to come off like the people who criticize Dark Knight. Just hating to hate.

Newsroom is ****. I mean, I haven't watched yet, but I plan on it.
HBO put the pilot on Youtube in its entirety.
