I like it alot better when it is just 2 of them and not all of them forcing to act in the same scene
whch makes some of the parts awkward when they all interact in the bar together all the time in thier other episodes

The Marshall showing Ted he’s being a jerk thing was a bit awkward, but it is good that they had a definitive moment to show that Ted was going to stop being reckless and get back on track.

Of course, an ‘off’ episode of this show is better than most shows on TV…

CBS needs to get their heads out of their butts and they need to renew the show!

Great review, by the way and what a great episode. I’m so glad HIMYM is back.

They’re putting that off. The phone is in interesting hands.

I had a friend explaining her view of “High Fidelity” to me last evening. Neither of us can remember where we heard this but we both remember others explaining to us why guys in particular love that movie….it’s because there’s so many “ohh that totally happened to me” moments.

Now while this doesn’t/didn’t happen to me often, or really at all during High Fidelity seeing as I’m not quite as dramatic with my music (at least not negatively) as one John Cusak; I do happen to identify quite often with one Ted Mosby. And the episodes I consistently like are episodes in which Ted goes through something I’ve been through. Fortunately or unfortunately this happened to be the case in last night’s episode.

I’ve dealt with a couple moments over the last few months or so that have ended up shaping me for the better later on, but were detrimental to me in the present tense then. I enjoyed seeing Ted’s brain have both negative and positive consequences fr him whilst he was drunk….because it’s poetic reality. Our brains always get in the way, but sometimes they get in the way of something they should be roadblocking in the first place. That look on Ted’s face last night was a beautiful “what the f*** did I just do?”-look. And not in a good way.

I personally think it’s wonderful to see a truly human side to Ted. Sometimes you have to act like a jackass to find yourself. It was a solid episode.

But as we can see, the ratings seemed to increase when HIMYM came on, which means it’s doing better than BBT.

If they do another flip, I’m gonna go crazy.

ps. sorry for the ‘millones’ thing xD It’s hard to do the swtich of two languages xD

I’d also like to have a ratings section on the website, that’s a good idea. It would be interesting to see if there’s any progress

@john d’arc, i guess he said ‘it was a good thing’ because at the end he took the umbrella, and i guess the history of the mother is gonna involve the mother searching for it xD

i loved this episode, i dunno if that was because i missed HIMYM or because it was damn good, i think both.

My favorite line of the ep was ‘it’s like the last 20minutes of Titanic!’. that was hillarius. And Robin is looking so much hotter. The cracked floor was awesome, but i didin’t like Marshall being much of a grown man, but thank Ted saved the scene with ‘i thought you were gonna kiss me’ xD

When Ted cross whith that girl, that scene is totally out of place.

*i liked Ted using the same t-shirt he used on 3.01, that’s realistic, people use clothes more than once. But he should trow it away, it seems that everytime he uses it, he does something stupid, like the tatto xD
*Marshall hair was…weird, what happend to it?
*not to self: never wear green on St. Patricks day xD

awesome review! i missed them.

The change to 8.30 worked, and all the buzz too.
How I Met Your Mother (9.73 millions and 4.3 in Adults 18-49years) and The Big Bang Theory (at 8pm.) got (9.11/3.7). That was a high on this season ratings, the higher episode [before this one] was Dowisetrepla with 8.86 millones / 3.4. So, it was an improve, and with Britney coming next week, won’t be a surprise if the show pass the 10million viewers

Hey JD, what about opening a Ratings section? i got almost all the ratings of all season, just let me know and i’ll send them to you.

Here’s a brief view of Monday’s ratings (spoiler alert: CBS came in 2nd)

With the sixth season premiere of “Dancing With the Stars” on the night leading into the opener for “The Bachelor: London Calling,” ABC stood as the No. 1 TV network on Monday in viewers and young adults. The Network outpaced second-place CBS on the night by 4.3 million viewers (14.9 million vs. 10.6 million – CBS) and by 13% in Adults 18-49 (4.4/12 vs. 3.9/10).

I might have to go rewatch it, but if Lily’s hair is back to season two, then yay.

I still thought this episode was sorta weak. Maybe they were short on time, but even the laugh-track audience seemed out of it. The jokes just didn’t pop as they usually do so well.

Scherbatsky was looking quite good. But yeah, I’m rewatching the ep now, and just, everything out of Barney/Lily/Marshall’s mouth just didn’t click for me.

And that whole reveal at the end where Marshall was all “adult” with Ted, just seemed forced.

Uh, maybe more to post later.

also, what was with Ted bumping into that girl at the bar? Weird.

I don’t get why Ted needed to mention that “it was a good thing” he went to the party, cause the mother was there. He claims to have not met her, so what’s the point of mentioning that it was good luck he went? It would be better luck if he DIDN’T go.

Sorry there was a problem with the comments. Everything should be working fine now. Resume normal feedback!

Marshall’s hair was distracting. Maybe Jason Segel is growing it out for a movie role? At least Lily’s hair has reverted to its Season 2 form. I hated her early Season 3 hair.

Great recap.
