Barney repeatedly pissed me off trying to "save" Quinn and freaking out about her job. I was actually Team Quinn and liked her this episode before of that! Good on her for calling him out about that. Her job is fine and she doesn't need your help, nor the slut shaming.
Ted annoyed me this episode. Hopefully, he and Robin will finally get over these issues.
Glad everything about Atlantic City was explained.
And jeez, Lily, the phone was only off for an hour. No need to freak out that much. Although it is somewhat understandable.
I love that Barney ate the practice baby hahaha... and Lily's scheming to get some time to herself was great. Though OF COURSE she'd go into labor right after Marshall and Barney shut their phones off! The Ted/Robin thing was kind of weird, and I wonder where they're going to take it in the next episode.
Decent episode. Not the best, but decent. A little boring in places...could've been a lot funnier with those Robin cameos. I just love Ted and Robin's relationship...a friendship like that is worth so much more than any other romantic relationship they could throw at us.
ummmm, hi, Earth to klutzy_girl, did you have a clumsy accident and hit your head? Or are my eyes deceiving me, did you actually write you were on Team Quinn? Wow! LOL!
While you guys are taking sides as if this was another pathetic shippy sitcom or romcom, you are forgetting that the greatest quality of HIMYM was always continuity and psychological plausibility. Both were missing today. First, you have a 'good crazy' episode and online dating, and not one were anything from the classic episode 'How I Met Everyone Else' mentioned, not once. In fact, characters were behaving as if it did not happen. Then, you have someone who likes being a stripper and rejects working in a bank. Then, you have laughable fights over who is more annoying with worrying/not worrying about the baby. What bothers me is that it is up to writers' vim, not continuity what someone will do on particular episode. Lilly not freaking out? Come on, it was conflict for conflict's sake, and because it could generate few mild laughs. The only really good thing (besides condolence five) about the episode was Ted, and it was about the only believable thing they came up with in today's episode. With that said, I could care less who is a bride as long as it is done properly, but the show has lately rarely done anything properly, the way they used to. Looking by standards of ordinary sitcoms, it was a great episode, looking by HIMYM standards, it was barely ok.
The episode was fine. Not great. The condolence five was funny, nothing really about Ted's story made me laugh (except Barney's "profile"). The stuff with Barney and Quinn was funny, didn't find it annoying that Barney wanted her out of that job.
I guess I had built up a different explanation for the flash forward to atlantic city in my head, so I felt disappointed when they forced an explanation about it in this episode. I think if they hadn't got rid of the ducky tie a number of episodes ago then it would have been a little bit more believable.
So Barney and Marshall are drunk in atlantic city and lily's in labour. should be a good episode next time...
LOL. It's because Barney was pissing me off. There's nothing wrong with Quinn's job and he doesn't need to "save" her. She was right to call him out on that. She doesn't need his help.
in Last Cigarette Ever, Narrator Ted says Marshall's last cigarette was on the day his son was born.And at the end of the episode he smoked. Although it felt a bit rushed like OK we said he smoked that day now we'll put it in at the end for like 2 seconds.
This season has really let HIMYM down. It's been declining for the past 2 years but this one has been dire. It barely makes me laugh any more, and it's not as clever as it used to be. They've also ruined the Ted/Robin relationship (and I don't mean romantic relationship as why bother shipping) with this latest Ted-STILL-in-love-with-Robin storyline *sigh*
Oh my God when are they gonna let go of the ted-is-pathetically-in-love-with-robin storyline? its so past its use by date, move on. otherwise a hilarious episode, from barneys discomfort at quinns job, this just proves they werent meant to be. i'm confident barneyw ill end up with robin
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
It was interesting.

Can't wait for the finale!
It wasn't great - quite boring actually.

In fairness, in "How I Met Everyone Else" Ted met Blah Blah playing World of Warcraft and not a dating site.
ReplyDeleteLOL. It's because Barney was pissing me off. There's nothing wrong with Quinn's job and he doesn't need to "save" her. She was right to call him out on that. She doesn't need his help.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically a three parter.
ReplyDeleteat least they kept the continuity.

i forgot about that...at least they put it in there

ReplyDeleteThis was better than I thought it would be. Ted's visions of Robin were actually quite entertaining.
