By KT HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: 5.06 “Bagpipes” On the other hand: “Marshall, dinner’s ready!” “Is there any for me?” “No, but it’s your favorite!” Wow, Lily fights dirty. Still, given the absurd way Marshall stumbled into the fight, though, I’d say he deserved it.

By mendie In tonight’s episode we find Barney giving Marshall relationship advise. Yeah you could have knocked me over with a feather too. But it was nice to see that even though Barney is in a relationship now he is just as dysfunctionally awesome as ever. I love that Robin & Barney’s answer to s...

Opinion: How I Met Your Mother – “Duel Citizenship”
Original at memles (WordPress)
• Mon, Oct 19
By Myles The result is a solid episode of How I Met Your Mother from the perspective of someone who finds the jokes to be at Canada’s expense, and a kind of fantastic episode for those of us who “get” the Canadian side of the storyline in a way that others cannot. All in all, it’s an episode I had a lot of fun...

HIMYM: The trouble with double
Original at raked (WordPress)
• Tue, Oct 13
By KT Eventually, of course, Marshall and Lily and Barney and Robin are hugging in the rain and spouting more romcom cliches like their lives depend on it. Aww. But really, Barney and Robin just need to help Lily and Marshall loosen up and have some fun. I loved the egg timer trail, though.

By Myles In the season premiere, we essentially got a confirmation that How I Met Your Mother would be dipping into the well of the double date: after struggling for a few seasons to integrate a drama-free Lily and Marshall into the show’s set of couples, they kind of gave up late last season with Han...
