The How I Met Your Mother Blog

Last night we saw a repeat of Bachelor Party from last season. I like this episode, although I prefer the B story (Robin’s inappropriate wedding shower present) to the A plot (Barney messing up Marshall’s bachelor party). That long description from Lily’s grandmother who thought Lily was about to open an antique sewing machine when in fact she was opening…something else was an inspired piece of writing.

Lastly, this episode was important because it showed us what made Lily finally come home. Barney flying out there with a ticket for her was a rare compassionate moment for him. He’s always shown a need for Marshall and Lily’s relationship to succeed (the ying to his bachelor yang it would seem) and it finally explained why Barney was so mean to Marshall during The Scorpion and the Toad.

Thoughts?

PS. Again, sorry for the limited posts. I’ve got a list of blog drafts a mile long and once I get situated you guys are in for some great content. Look forward to polls about returning guest stars, recaps from old episodes, legacy season vs. season talks, and maybe even a contest where we give away a DVD. Hang in there folks, it’s going to be a legendary new year.
