Kinda liked it, kinda hated it.

8.0

I'm stuck halfway between really liking this episode and really hating it. I mean are we seriously back to the whole Ted and Robin thing? Really? It's just far too repetitive t o be considered interesting any more.

But there were good elements to the episode for sure, mainly with Robin's dad being seen and some interesting interactiosn there.

I don't really know what more should be said. Half good, half bad.moreless

Good so Far

9.0

I have been a fan of HIMYM since 2005 when season one came out. I was greatly disappointed with Season 7, except for the last episode, and the beginning of season 8. However in the past few episodes the old charm of HIMYM is coming back. Now that Robin and Barney are engaged, the merry-go-round of random relationships we know won't work have slowed down... "the autumn of break-ups"? Come on... However, this episode, while it may not have been a series best, was funny and brought the old chemistry of the gang back together. The rooftop scene between Ted and Lily was emotional. Robin's dad wasn't very consistent, which took away from that portion of the episode. However, I believe HIMYM is moving in the right direction and now that all the characters have signed on for season 9, renewal is a high possibility. I hope they keep this up!moreless

Getting sick of it!

4.0

By Cadd-9, Jan 17, 2013

After having 2 good episodes, which did not suck at all, now this again...

why is Robins father so poorly introduced?? And then he has completely changed without a realistic reason.

It is just horrible work of the authors. And I must confess I dont want to see the next season,

curiosity would be the only reason.... and I am sick of it!

Hands Up - who has given up on this show and is just watching it for the final episode?

3.5

By DeepSecret, Jan 17, 2013

So, what did we learn about 1) Mom, 2) Meeting Mom, 3) How he met Mom, 4) Anything in general - Nothing we didn't already know.

That's right, please tell me the same information in an oh so different way.

What has happened to this show? How did it go so stale? Even Barney is now just some

I don't know about you guys, but the trend setting HIMYM is dead. (remember legendary and lemon law) What we have don't know.

Whatever. This show is ripe.moreless

I thought TBBT was back with a bang turns out How i Met your mother's Bang is much better. The episode was funny had emotions and gave us another glimpse of the Mother overall HIMYM is back, and how funny was the baby peeing on marshall it got me to laugh hard because they changes pee with confetti im laughing just thinking about it. Lily became more likable in this episode because she was honest and she is a good mom for stopping herself from leaving some parents can't do that when it comes to their dreams.moreless
