Samalander Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It's sort of like Californication, in that the character achieving his goal will mean the end of the show. I'm hoping it'll be the end of the next season, as well. Not sure if I'll stop watching if that proves to be the case.Heck, no.In "Californication" the character achieving his goal is only the beginning: It's like, you got exactly what you wanted, now let's see how you handle it."How I met your Mother", however, seems to be geared, for, well, Ted meeting the mother of his kids. Streching it beyond that, seems... unsound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Gotta say that I think that this season is going very well. So I disagree with you that think that this season hasn't been as good... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falagar Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The Play Book-episode was pretty good, otherwise a bit dissappointed so far. Happens to every series I overdose on though :P (saw season 4 in one sitting due to exam-procrastination) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsavong Lah Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thought this was another average episode. It showed HIMYM's penchant for inserting things into the past that were never seen in previous episodes (like the one with the crazy bartender).Got to say, Robin's co-anchor was a serious douche. So hopefully if he spends much time on the show in the future they'll do a big turnaround with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That much Future Ted alluded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon AS Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 "Nothing suits me like a suit!" Holy shit that was hilarious.And those who really care about Ted meeting the mother should be happy that they are definitely moving closer to that. It'll probably happen in the last episode of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorianGR Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Barney rocked in this episode. I was sure that the girl was not Ted's future wife but I enjoyed the almost meeting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 As far as 100th episodes go that was a lot of fun. The musical number was hilarious. And even though I should have known Racehl Bilson wasn't the mother, at the same time, they still managed to suck me in right up until the bit with the bus...Guess I'm just gullible... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alguien Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The episode was a return to form. Barney's musical number was great. His move afterward? Even better.I had hoped that Rachel Bilson wouldn't be it, though she's not bad. Did give the setup something of a mystery. My roommate and I couldn't recall the full story behind the yellow umbrella... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverine Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not impressed with last nights episode. Barney's song was lame. Ted is annoying and I really don't care how he met their mother...this series is rapidly losing momentum for me and it was one of my favorites.

I just watched it, and it was easily the best episode put out in the past year. I was laughing the whole way through it. Barney's song was, imo, one of the best they've ever done on the show.

Jaxom 1974 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not that there's anything wrong with Amanda Peet in general, but ummmmm...I wish they'd used a hotter actress as Jenkins in last night's episode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I absolutely loved this episode. Kris and I had a whole conversation about the Reacher and the Settler. Everytime he'd ask me what I thought I was, I referred to whatever Lily was saying at the time ("I don't think either of us are those") - and then she admitted to being the Settler, and I shut up. :P NPH directed this episode - I thought he did a really nice job. He's the first different director on the show, and it seemed like the cast responded to it by bringing the energy. It was nice to see an actual ensemble episode, and I thought Amanda Peet looked gorgeous. (Psst...Jaxom. Her husband is one of the exec producers of Game of Thrones.) This is the first episode in a long time that made me laugh all the way through it. I think I just missed a Marshall episode. I f-ing love Jason Segal.ETA: Jaxom, I just caught your Robin-joke in there. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely make an observation. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense that Marshall would be a tad enamored with her (and with him telling all those stories, don't you dare argue against that he was maybe a smidgen into her), because she's got that "I'm just one of the guys" vibe to her.
