The How I Met Your Mother Blog

Hey guys. Despite many people calling “filler episode” I quite liked Mystery vs. History and wanted to weigh in. I’m warning you now: I go on a hell of a rant by the end.

And we’re back!  Episode 4 ready to rock!  Jordan Rockwell here, and, I might add, do listen to my show this wednesday night as I will be plugging this site and discussing this season, amongst other things.

Tonight, we continue the (assumed) season-long storyline of Robin working out her feelings for Barney, Barney falling in love and exploring his relationship with Nora, and Ted?  Well, we haven’t forgotten about Ted, but I sure hope the writers haven’t.

Let’s get down to it, here we go!

What’s up fools? That’s right, you get two recaps this week. Mad props to Jordan but this one spoke to me so I’m stepping into the ring.

I liked this episode the same way and as much as the brunch episode from season two. So good. The timelines, the prolonged B plot being a foil for the A in flashback. It’s this show at its best.

Well, finally, after 6 seasons, we get a little bit more of Victoria.  The lovely and talented Ashley Williams.

I for one have been looking forward to this for a long time; Victoria was always my favorite “non-Mother” love interest of Ted (and as we know, had the show not been picked up after the first 13, we would have heard the words, “and that, kids, is how i met your mother” when Ted kissed her in her bakery).

Alas, it was not meant to be.  As we now know, Ted was meant to have Victoria in his life, but not forever.  Here we go:

And so is this special lady  Everyone excited?  You should be, because:

• According to this site, the season premiere pulled in 11 million viewers, while the following episode pulled in 12.2 million.  Think about that.  The ratings actually went up!  Maybe that had something to do with 2.5 Men, but whatever.
• Check out this review from Donna Bowman on the AV Club.  My favorite quote: “I watched an unremarkable sitcom pilot last night, full of actors I like but devoid of style or spark. (More about that next week.) Watching the premiere of How I Met Your Mother, by contrast, felt like the major leagues. Professionals at work both in front of and behind the camera, demonstrating impeccable timing, delivering moments of real emotion, and never forgetting what makes them funny.”  Amen to that, Donna.
• According to what has been released, “Ducky Tie” will be about the following: “Ted runs into an old girlfriend and tries to make amends with her since he cheated during their relationship. Marshall and Lily make a bet with Barney that could force him to wear Marshall’s ducky tie.”
• As we know, the tie metaphor has everything to do with Barney’s wedding, so this might be interesting, but more importantly…
• Victoria is back!  This writer always liked her the best out of all the “non-mothers”, simply because Ashley Williams is friggin’ adorable, but also because Ted was the one who blew it, not her (Stella, looking at you, baby-doll).  Should be interesting.

Stay Tuned…
