The How I Met Your Mother Blog

“No way, no way, no way, it’s a tricycle!”

This is about as wholesome an episode about having sex with two girls can be. Maybe that’s what you get with network TV. Or maybe that’s the way you’d tell your kids the story. Either way, I loved it. I have a history of loving plot lines where my boy gets the girl. And boy howdy did Ted get the girl. Girls actually. Continue reading…

If you look closely at the epilogue of this week’s episode, which features an old Marshall breaking his promise to never read Lily’s “death letter” and being hilariously busted, you’ll notice a newspaper clipping framed behind his desk. With Hi-Def you can read the headline.

“NYC LAWYER CAPTURES ‘NESSY’”

How awesome. It’s good to know Marshall’s dream is finally realized in his twilight years. I love all these easter eggs the creators put in. Last year, in the episode “Stuff”, the astute viewer caught that the name of Barney’s play was “Suck It Lily”. You could see the title on the playbill during one of the shots of the audience. These details are why the show keeps winning awards.

Well, tonight’s episode wasn’t quite as awesome as last week. Maybe it was because there wasn’t a whole summer’s build up but I just don’t think there were as many legendary moments.

what was good?

“I’m just jubilant my former paramor is jubilant.”

The gang switches to big words when Gael is around to keep him and his mediocre English in the dark. Ted loses his patience with the “New Yorkers” after a party goes wrong in a moment I’m sure will be an overnight phenomenon across NYC. Barney’s fake-name reminded me of Shawn on Psych giving Gus funny names every week. Marshall’s signature mix of puppy-dog love and deep, deep kink surfaced with his requests for Lily’s just-in-case-I-die letter. Robin has such a big ego that her sex dreams involve her.

what was bad?

The cold open left me a little… cold. While repeat viewings will surely prove me wrong, the guys exploiting Marshall’s superstition to hilarious effect didn’t make me laugh. I don’t know how I feel about Old Marshall and Old Lily. Robin’s storyline wasn’t as strong a B-plot, but it had its moments.

PS. Both Ted and Robin’s hair seemed different this week. Un-styled, and just a little bit puffy. Ted actually looked like I usually do. That isn’t a compliment.

This was how I looked while watching tonight’s premiere.

So, there it is, “Wait for It”, the season premiere. Despite what other reviewers said, I loved this episode. We did pick up with the “-dary” from last season, but kept going right past it, this whole episode moved at a good clip. We saw Ted making hilariously bad decisions, we saw Barney get jealous over how seriously Ted takes his friendship, we saw Marshall and Lily put ball busting above sensitivity for Ted’s new…art, and we saw a pretty big clue for who the mother might be. I can’t contain the awesome so spoilers might follow. Continue reading…

Don’t miss the season 2 finale “Something Blue” airing tonight on CBS. If you’re new to the show, this is as good a place to start as any. For die-hard fans, it’s even more exciting. Months ago when this episode first aired we were left with a “legend” of a cliffhanger. It seemed like next Monday would never come. But now when we watch Ted say “I do” to Barney’s bachelor proposal tonight, we have only seven short days to wait for the next new episode.

Today’s news has brought us the names and/or summaries for the first four episodes of season 3. They are:

1. Wait for It (airing 9/24) - Robin shows up with a date and this motivates Ted to ‘get back out there’. We also learn something major about ‘the Mother’.
2. We’re Not From Here (airing 10/1) - Ted and Barney set up a ploy to pick up women. Robin is still dating Argentinean Adonis.
3. Little Boys (airing 10/8) - Coming soon.
4. The Third Wheel (airing 10/15) - Ted’s new attitude attracts women in the present and one from his past.
5. How I Met Everyone Else (airing 10/22) - We learn how Ted first met his new fling as well as other first meetings.

What are we going to learn about the mother? Who is the ‘Argentinean Adonis’? We already know who the “one from his past” will be. Let the speculation begin!

Note: This page will be updated as new titles/summaries come out. I’ll just push the publish date up so it will pop back up on top.

After last night’s episode I re-watched ‘Something Borrowed’ (from last week). The set in the scene where Marshall shaves his head looked strangely familiar. I researched back and sure enough, it’s the same set they used for Barney’s tailor-in-the-back-of-a-pet-shop in the episode ‘Cupcake’. See for yourself:

Angle One:

Angle Two:

Pretty cool. I’m sure this has happened before (I think the bathroom from Stuart and Claudia’s marriage is the same one from Van Smoot House last night) but this is the first time I noticed so drastically.
