YMMV / Two And A Half Men S 9 E 1 Nice To Meet You Walden Schmidt

• Fanon Discontinuity: For many, this is where the show ends. Not only does the main character get killed offscreen, but his death is largely treated as a joke, and his character gets vilified beyond anything that was established in the prior eight seasons. The new addition to the cast, Walden Schmidt, is functionally the same character, but with a completely different personality that generates a completely different kind of humor. Plus, Alan now acts as the main character. Put it all together, and you can see why a lot of people who were fans of the Charlie Sheen seasons don't care for anything after this point. The episode ratings on IMDB plummet from this episode on, never recovering.
