How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episodes 23-24: “The Magician’s Code” “Marvin Waitforit… Ericson.” For better or worse, a full season’s worth of major plot developments were packed into last night’s two-part finale: Marshall and Lily had their baby! The identity of Barney’s bride is revealed! Ted runs away with a beloved ex-girlfriend! In the first part of the finale, Lily goes into labor while Marshall is in Atlantic City with Barney. Marshall is...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 22: “Good Crazy” “You know, it’s funny. You tell the average guy you’re dating a stripper, he thinks it’s awesome. Heck, you tell your mom, she high-fives you so fast she doesn’t even take off her oven mitts.” If you had asked me seven years ago if Barney Stinson would be the most compassionate and supportive friend in the HIMYM gang, I would have said “what’s...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 21: “Now We’re Even” ”Get out your MetroCard, Ted, because tonight’s the night we partied with the mole people!” There’s a lot I can relate to in this episode. Like Barney, I seek to make every night legendary. Like Robin, I have a thinly-veiled desire to be famous. Like Ted, I too look forward to the day I can eat ribs naked in a roommate-free apartment....
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 20: “Trilogy Time” “For the first time in my life I don’t want to find myself in three years with some random girl, no matter how many boobs she has.” In a list of the most dangerous games in the world one can possibly play, the “in x years I’ll be doing y” game of hypotheticals HAS to be a close second behind “playing Russian roulette with...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 19: “The Broath” “I got some local monks to record this. Yeah, I got a monk guy. Cool, right?” Falling in love. Apartment hunting. One-upping each other’s hook-up stories. These are just three of literally (LITERALLY!) slightly-more-than-three activities that most modestly young adults routinely engage in, all of which typically end in utter disaster. But we do them nonetheless, because life! And YOLO. And during last...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 18: “Karma” “First off, we have a lot in common. For example, both of our jobs are largely financed by drunk, Asian businessman.” Good thing this site isn’t called Episode Sensibility Grades because I could scribe a manifesto on how last night’s episode of Extreme Story: Boring Edition made as little sense as any in the series’s seven seasons. And good thing that I’ve been blessed with the...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 17: “No Pressure” “My god, they’re placing bets on our lives. And I’m sorry, Ted can not pull off bald.” The drunk train made its final stop last night, settling into the station as its passengers disembarked toward their final destinations. For Ted, it was to the rooftop of his apartment as he somewhat awkwardly professed his nagging undying love for a newly-then-not-so-newly-engaged Robin. But she...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 16: “The Drunk Train” “Every date I’ve been on lately has been brutal. Last week I went out with a girl whose favorite band was Glee.” In the bar scene it’s known as a “two minute drill,” or perhaps its more aggressive cousin, the “full-court press.” Brooklyn-bound at 3:10 a.m.? Hop on a “meh-xpress L” train to Williamsburg. Need post-last call transit in the Bay Area?...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 15: “The Burning Beekeeper” ”It’s my penis we’re talking about. You’ve seen her — she’s magnificent.” And so airs another episode of How I Met Your Mother, which means so does another opportunity for the show to utilize a storytelling device that masks the fact that nothing really ever happens. This time around, Danny Tanner explains to us how Lily and Marshall’s housewarming party is ruined within...
How I Met Your Mother Season 7: Episode 14: “46 Minutes” “Let’s declare our independence with an on ‘da peen dance!” Lily and Marshall’s move into the suburban outpost of East Meadow, Long Island, has been bringing them a steady onslaught of #suburbanlifeproblems. The most recent of these being the decorating and redecorating of their house under the judgmental eye of Lily’s father, who is protective of the cherished history his childhood home possesses....
