It's Blitzgiving!!

"Perfect"

By Jon_MW_14, Sep 03, 2011

"Blitzgiving" is my favourite season 6 How I Met Your Mother episode. It's just hilarious! I love all the BUffy references with The Gentleman and the "Blitz" entering Ted as he slept replicating the effect of the magic entering the mouths of sleepers in "Hush". I love how Steve was the blitz, then Ted was the blitz, then Barney was the blitz, and the Steve was the blitz again at the end of the episode. I don't watch Lost but I did appreciate the Lost reference. I give this episode a 10/10.moreless

"Superb"

By Canogaparkcindy, Jun 06, 2011

Wow, this season has definitely impressed me with episodes like "Subway Wars", "Natural History", and now this episode. Episodes like these just remind us that How I Met Your Mother can still deliver a genuinely warm hearted episode with comedy. Something this show tends to lose sometimes, but this episode just reminded me that HIMYM still has it. I laughed at most of the one liners here, almost too many to count. Every single time someone said "Aw Man" I cracked up. When Robin fixed herself up for "Wang" guy when taking the picture was hilarious. The "Blitz" didn't do much for me, but I'm sure Lost fans enjoyed his stay on How I Met Your Mother. As for the emotion, we've got a lot of Ted & Zoey here. When Ted put two & two together when Lilly stole the stuffed turkey, it just reminded me of classic How I Met Your Mother. And when Ted finally let go of the grudge against Zoey, it just reminded me of classic Ted. We got a feel good ending, development, and just a hilarious episode in general. What do you have in the end? You have a good episode of How I Met Your Mother. Definitely will stand out as one of the best in the season, by far.moreless

How to take another caracther to a diferent show and make it good!

9.5

"Superb"

By nbates92, Jun 06, 2011

As a big fan of the great J.J.Abrams show "lost" I enjoyed Hurley and his defenitly important contribute to it, a great performance!
Sometimes when authors try to take other caracther from a tv show things may go in the wrong direction but not this time! He wasn't the Hurley from lost of course but as you watvhed he had some of him, that's the reson why I think it became good!

Talking about HIMYM, I think that episodes like this one will for sure improve the show, it's difficult to make it good for many seasons but in my point of view HIMYM is still on and will stiil continue to be as I didn't suspect. It was a good surprise!moreless

"Fair"

By thefanof, Mar 11, 2011

It is good to see Hurley back on TV, but more importantly it was good to see a somewhat decent episode of How I Met Your Mother, something that has certainly been alluding us for years. I know that I'll be saying, "Aw, man!" for the next few days, so they succeeded in getting me to remember the episode that way, but a lot of this show was actually well-done. The cast was funny all around and the idea of a "blitz guy" is actually something that I think can exist in certain groups of friends.

Congratulations HIMYM, you made me laugh tonight.moreless

the one with hurley

8.5

"Great"

By Bobinho26, Mar 11, 2011

As a big fan of Lost i thought hurley making a guest appearance a nice change to the usual cast. although his character was not really thought-out and seemed kinda forced into the episode without really having anything smart to say. 90 percent of his lines were "aw, man" which got pretty annoying towards the end. but hey, he did get to blurt out those secret numbers from lost, which was kind of cool. more guest appearances in the future!!!

I guess ted and zoey finally buried the hatchet and became friends. or so it seems. i am really looking forward to seeing how long this new friendship of theirs lasts and/or if it evolves into something more.

Barney's role was kind of disappointing, especially when he became "the blitz", but he can not always steal the show. perhaps next time.moreless

TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA
- When Lily tells Ted about the skateboarding dog, we see the event in flashback with Robin, Barney, and Marshall on the left and Lily and Zoey on the right by the bar. But when Marshal tells Ted he changed the course of Blitzstory, we see the same flashback, but this time The Blitz is suddenly there and is the most prominent person in view.

- Barney: Robin, I will pay you to be The Blitz. $100! No, $10,000! No, 60 bucks. What's a lot of money for someone like you? Marshall: Dude, The Blitz isn't something that can be bought or sold. Zoey: Yeah, it's not like Ted's integrity. Ted: What was that? I was distracted by the four carat diamond your 53-year-old husband bought you.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The guys have an in-joke where they yell, "The gentlemen!" Also, there is the imagery of the 'the blitz' curse being passed as smoke which enters the new host via the mouth while they sleep. This is a reference to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Hush" where the villains are called 'The Gentlemen' and there is imagery of smoke exiting each host via the mouth whilst they sleep.
  EDIT SHARE
- The random numbers the Blitz yells out at McLaren's for Marshall to text a picture of his junk to, "4 8 15 16 23 42," are the same mystic numbers featured throughout the entire run of the show, Lost, which also starred Blitz portrayer Jorge Garcia as Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, who felt he was cursed by those numbers. Additionally, when Barney misses something cool he says, "You told me I had to leave the building," and Blitz's reply was "Sorry, but I was on that island for what seemed like eternity," referring to the island the Lost crash survivors had to live on.
