"Miracles"
Season 3, Episode 20
I am always pretty wary when season finale time comes around because I feel like most shows try way too hard to wow us into sticking around for the next seasons premiere Murders explosions huge cliffhangers you name it and most shows will use it Tonight we did get a cliffhanger but I didnt feel like the writers expect us to really worry about Stellas answer Mostly I felt like this episode was an amazing end to an up and down season more up than down toward the end true but we ended on a very high note I thought There were hilarious jokes and the strength of the characters friendships were center stage which when combined make this show one of the best shows on television That said does anyone else have Reunited running through their head No Just me On with the recap thenAll plotlines tonight start with one thing Ted freaking out about the future and breaking up with Stella followed by Ted tying his shoe at the wrong tim

I dont know if the fact that Teds red cowboy boots were my favorite part of tonights episode means I liked the episode or I didnt Honestly I think the things I like and the things I disliked about balanced each other out this week We got to poke some fun at Ted fun We had to deal with Britney not fun Lilys art soothes dogs humorous Marshalls ever-growing need for a haircut not humorous and honestly just distractingWe did find out who the mystery woman warning girls about Barney was of course so that was a nice conclusion to the story Too bad it had to be Abby We didnt even get the slight humor of her being a dorky receptionist Nope just Britney and her weird line delivery I am really sorry for those of you that liked her in this role I really am but I just dont see the appeal If she said awesome one more time I was going to cry She had one good line I dont want to s

Tonight was split into two separate storylines due to last weeks very sad Bro Breakup On one side we had Ted and Stella who were moving forward in their relationship by not having sex and on the other side we had Barney desperately trying to get over Ted by finding himself a new wingman or as he called it the Vice President of Awesome Oh and we also found out that even though they have been Teds friends forever Marshall and Lily still dont know when to shut upTo begin I enjoyed tonights episode I didnt bust a gut laughing or anything like that but it was a nice little thirty minutes of one of my very favorite shows I really do enjoy Stella which is why I am not letting myself get attached to her and now that Ted has met Lucy I am even warier but you cant deny that Sarah Chalke is amazing in the role Ted genuinely seems happy with her and that makes me sad for the inevitable breakup no I do not think Stella is the mother

What the heck was thatOne minute Im laughing like a crazy person and the next my heart has been broken I almost just made a really bad broken pun but my heart just isnt in it We all knew that Ted wasnt going to take this news well but holy cow I am sincerely sad right nowWell sad and extremely frustrated on a few points WHAT WAS WITH THE GOAT Is that supposed to be clever writers So Robin will be living with Ted for his 31st birthday you say There will be an incident with a goat and a wash cloth Do you really expect me to care when Ted just broke up with BarneyRational aside I know they will make up I know they will still be bros I know this I am not some insane fan who cries herself to sleep at night and sends eyelashes in the mail or anything Still I am very down after watching that I cant even bring myself to do a full recap of the plot so you are all going to get an abridged version Becausethat is what I want to do Points

Disclaimer I adored this episode and everything that happened in it If you disliked parts you know which part I speak of then you are probably not going to agree with a lot of what I say tonight The rest of you Please join me in celebration wonderful things happened tonight Robin Sparkles was back Robin and Barney finally gave into that burning chemistry that I have been obsessed with since Zip Zip Zip James Van Der Beek was funny And now I may have used up my normal allotment of exclamation points but you know what I dont careWe open the episode at MacLarens our gang seated at their usual booth Right away we are supposed to notice Robins appearance especially her breasts Robin admits that an old friend from Canada is coming to see her hence the gussied-up look When pressed by her friends she also admits that this friend is actually her ex-boyfriend Simon Van Der Beek and that he was very special to her a

Tonight on How I Met Your Mother Marshalls screaming boss Lilys crazed hormones and Teds desire to keep his car clean Three very hot button issues in most peoples lives what Im right and you know it Especially if you have ever been the only one of your friends to have a car Most importantly this weeks episode gives us a ton of group interaction and individual idiosyncrasies which are two of the best things about this show Well I think so at leastMarshall appeals to the gang for help dealing with his boss Artillery Arthur who screamed at him over his failure to complete a report on time The best part of the report is that the rest of the group gets him to refer to it as The Ninja Report which I must agree is the coolest report name ever Seriously I wonder if I can implement that into my daily work activities Anyway Arthurs verbal barrage leads toMarshall crying Which in turn leads to the g

Tonights episode was pretty awesome I took a surprisingly small amount of notes on it but the show was on its game tonight Heh game I made a pun sort of Moving right alongSomeone is following Barney around and tipping off his future conquests as to his true dastardly nature This leads to Barney getting deservedly slapped in a hardware store a pet store and a museum When Lily is approached by our mystery woman Barney decides to enlist the gang to help him track down his stalker Here is where March Madness comes in inspiring Barney to create his very own bracket of the top 64 women he has slept with With a lot of beer our courageous crew narrows it down depressing story by depressing story until they have their very own Final Four Holly Meg Kate and Anna Barney with Lilys help and moral guidance tracks down each woman looking to apologize and stop her slanderous spree Barney doesnt really want to talk to any of them t

Well They over hyped Britney quite a lot did they not Dont get me wrong I didnt mind because Sarah Chalke was amazing and Ms Britney wellcant really act I bet that will get me a lot of angry feedback but come on Shes no Sarah ChalkeAnyway due to the previously mentioned over hyping done by everyone and their mother I really dont have much to say about Britneys guest spot other than it was nice to see her functional She delivered her lines in an acceptable manner and I barely even sneered Pretty forgettable honestly I hope she had as good a time filming her scenes as has been reportedMoving on lets get to the episode itself shall we I came away from the episode tonight with three major points on my mind Marshall really needs a haircut Ted will never learn to be smooth with the ladies and I blame it all on Barney and the writers must think we are really dense but I love them anywayTonight focused on Ted

Tonights premise was pretty simple Everyone ganged up on Ted to try and convince him not to date his tattoo removal doctor RIP Tramp Stamp Ted Barney naturally headed up the group proclaiming The Platinum Rule to be as such while The Golden Rule is Love thy neighbor yes he was wrong but he had a plan so let him finish The Platinum Rule is Never ever ever love thy neighbor And of course Barney Marshall and Lily and Robin have all had experience with The Platinum Rule and we then spent the rest the episode traveling down Awkward Lane with them on their quest to win over TedIf I went into detail on each of the three examples of The Platinum Rule I would be here all night so here they are in a nutshell Robin had a crush on the sports anchor for her news show Kurt the Ironman and the relationship went sour when Ironman proved to be clingy and overly emotional Marshall and Lily met their n

"The Yips"
Season 3, Episode 10
When you have an episode of How I Met Your Mother where the main plot revolves around one Barney Stinson you know to expect a few things women sex and those catch phrases that we all know and love Tonights episode did indeed contain all mentioned items however we also got to enjoy the rare opportunity of watching Before Barney as I like to call him the granola loving hemp wearing goateed version of Barney And oh how I do love me some Before BarneyWe start with Ted convincing the gang to join a gym Hey Ted dont feel so bad I think weve all had that moment with the pizza delivery man where you hope they dont judge you At least you were fully dressed My encounters always seem to happen in my pajamas Anyway no one cares about my pjs so moving on Everyone having been coerced into joining we then spend a good portion of the episode in said gym Marshall gets a trainer to whip him into shapea trainer that Lily feels is way too hot Ma

Happy Slapsgiving Forget the turkey stuffing and pies How I Met Your Mother served up what we all really wanted Barney getting slapped I know that none of you really believed that Lilys edict about no slapping being allowed would actually hold but I hope you all still enjoyed the moment when it actually happened as much as I did Of course there was more going on tonight than just watching Barney grow twitchier and twitchier as the countdown ticked closer and closer to zero Robin had a new boyfriend Bob who was one of my favorite aspects of the episode Bob age 41 spent the entire episode being shown to us through Teds jealous ex-boyfriend gaze which saw him as a very elderly man Seeing a man old enough to be my grandfather spout phrases like Wes gonna get silly bitches as he hands over the Jell-O shots he brought to Thanksgiving dinner was just surreally hysterical Despite thinking to myself that Robin would never date a guy like Bob I

You might think that an entire episode dedicated to porn and evil lawyers would be overtly racy and full of evil men in suits However since this is How I Met Your Mother thinking so would be wrong because this episode was in my opinion anyway just flat-out hilarious Not one of the best episodes ever I await with poorly contained excitement both the new Robin Sparkles episode and the slap-bet conclusion but it was still very funny considering the content they were working with And might I add they were somehow able to get through a full episode about porn without a single pun-filled porn title and that people is awe-inducing all by itselfLets break this down Barney finds a porn starring one Ted Mosby or as Barney says Teds doppelbanger Lily and Robin show up and Marshall bounds over to Lily like the happy little puppy that he is to tell her the good news that he has been offered his dream job Lily has just walked in on her husband and f
