Um, no, this episode was great. Not on par with the original, but, other than the Playbook, the best episode of the season, by far.

Jenn: I agree that the pilot is quite cheesetastic, but I think HIMYM had hit quite a stride by the time Mary the Paralegal rolled around. Season 2 was IMO when it peaked, it’s just the perfect season. 3 was still pretty good, and then 4/5 have been a steady decline, at least for this viewer.

This episode, like this whole season, was mediocre. HIMYM usually puts a fresh twist on something old, but they didn’t bother with that when introducing Lily’s dad, which is maybe why I hated it. We’ve all seen “estranged/deadbeat dad” stuff on TV, if not real life.

The characters did feel more like themselves in this episode, though, so I guess we can be thankful for that. It had a few good jokes, but not good enough to make up for the plot.

Jenn as usual great minds think alike!

MY heart thudded for a minute when he said ” I am still in love with you” Of course I knew that was nothing .

I rewatched the pilot as well and also felt something was missing. I think it was the fact that the swarkles pairing really messed things up for me, and I wish the writers hadn’t gone there at this point because it ruined the magic of the show for me a little.

P.S. Did anybody panic just a little when Ted announced he was still in love with Robin? That little dude is pretty convincing.

It wasn’t that bad. I mean, how could it live up to the first slapsgiving anyway? It wasn’t my favorite, but it was fun and it’s always nice to kick back and watch an episode without analyzing everything that’s good and bad in it. Obviously we all saw Marshall’s slap coming, but what I didn’t see coming was the ad at the end. Ha. My ex would love that game.
I totally thought that about Monica’s mom- Lily doesn’t seem like she would be a whole generation older! That made made me do a double take. I guess the math works, though…
I watched the pilot today and it was hilarious how cheesy it was compared to how HIMYM is now! I was cracking up the whole time! I thought this show was one of the only ones that didn’t have to grow into itself for a couple seasons, but I suppose it did a little. Marshall’s hair is so funny.
Happy Slapsgiving, everybody!
Oh- best part of the episode was when Marshall pulled two fake arms out to hold hands on the computer!
Now if you’ll all excuse me, I have to go get together some gloves and duct tape for a skype call tomorrow…

This was awful. This was the worst episode I’ve seen on this show.
