I think she deserves to come back - she didn't come off as a typical dumb blonde (she only went out with Barney after they all egged her on)...I'd love to see coming back to the show....

Even if I see the puncline coming, it still makes me laugh. Also, what's with the formatting? I'm writing in CAPS! Personally, I like repetitiveness in jokes.

Loved it! Barney/Neil rocked on this one! I agree on how predictable it was but, nonetheless, awesome. Can´t say welcome back because I'm new here, but very good recap indeed. This one was was great!

When the season first started, I was so pumped that we'd be catching glimpses of the mother @ the college, but that subplot has been as dead as a door nail (door knob? I don't use this cliche a lot). I like seeing Ted in love. I agree with KR – the writers haven’t given Ted anything to do.

But at the end of the day even when it is not at its best HIMYM is still one of the funniest shows on tv. Glad to have you back JD, I always looks forward to your recaps.

I mean, it's a sitcom, they're not gonna ask him to gain weight for a joke or something. Welcome back, JD! I agree with this wholeheartedly: "There’s something off about the plots and the way the stories roll out." I think this season has really suffered because they haven't done anything with Ted. Sure, the dude can be a bit of a drag sometimes, but he's the main character- and season 5 has mostly consisted of Saget Ted narrating the wacky adventures of his four friends, especially Barney/Robin, while Ted himself...sits around. And does nothing. Ultimately Ted is the heart of the show, and they've been ignoring him, so the show has suffered. It definitely feels like their jokes are getting cheaper/broader/more predictable overall. Joben: it’s a Segel thing, not a character thing.
