[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The episode prior to the finale, Ted told Rebecca they needed to talk. We knew/assumed it was to tell her he's quitting. [/quote]

Some people would have preferred to see it, rather than just have it implied. When you are invested in characters, it's a lot less fun or interesting to simply be told later "yup, that's what they decided."

It was the same when Nate quit -- many viewers were frustrated that the show didn't bother include a pivotal scene between two important characters.

If you have time for a 5 minute musical number and multiple locker room speeches, you have time to show us two characters experiencing in real time a really significant moment in their lives.

This season wasted so much time on weird stuff (like Keely's entire relationship with Jack, for starters) but then glossed right over a bunch of central plot lines. I don't get it.[/quote]

DP.  That’s because they assumed the audience was smart enough not to need a literal play-by-play.   :shock: [/quote]

lol. It’s not about smarts. It’s about enjoying the growth, the experience, the development along the way. Would you have valued it more if Nate had just told someone random Aw Jamie put in extra money this time and a few years ago he just chucked in his gum!
Nope.
Seeing it and enjoying it as a part of the show is part of why you watch it. The show really suffered without bill Lawrence who knew that the big emotional payout needs to be seen to be….  BELIEVED.
That said I loved it all and will miss it! Even with its flaws. [/quote]
