How I Met Your Mother

"Dowisetrepla" is an entertaining How I Met Your Mother episode. In this episode, Lily and Marshall get a new apartment. I love how Marshall wants to take out a mortgage, and Lily's terrified he's going to find out about her debt, but then he finds out about it anyways. I love how Ted, Bareny, and Robin walk into the his apartment, only to realize that Lily and Marshall got into a fight. I love how Ted looks at all the clues about how the fight went down and what it was about. I love how Lily and Marshall find out that Dowisetrepla is short for Downwind od the Sewage Treatment PLant and that their neighbourhood smells really bad. I give this episode a 9/10.

I'm getting bored watching that show ! We knew already that Lily had debts, so it was not really something new when it popped out during the interview with the bank ! Besides, it was not really a surprise seeing Barney inviting another girl in that appartement just to spend the night and not give a damn about her the next day.

I'm expecting something new ! Something which really reveals who the characters really are, where they are really going ... how Ted meets his wife ! I'm bored waiting, I think I can't wait anymore ... this show needs to end or to find another direction anyway.

An amazing episode, and a setting stone in Marshall & Lilly's relationship, I didn't say a good setting stone. Lilly & Marshall have marital problems when Marshall finds out about Lilly's credit card debts that were revealed about in the last episode. Since Marshall has his new job, he unknowingly buys a new place. When he finds out, Lilly considers divorce so Marshall can get a better rate on the apartment. But Marshall was right when he said when he married Lilly, he married Lilly's problems as well. They end up buying the place putting everything on the line regardless of Lilly's debt by the end. We see Maggie Wheeler & Phil Lewis make an appearance. It was pretty much the same plot with Barney, he met a girl, led her on, slept with her, and left her the next day. I can't help to feel bad for all the girls Barney sleeps with, even though Barney remains to be the funniest character on this show. Ted & Robin reveal it's weird that their still friends after dating, that sounds more dramatic than it is. It was just part of a joke that I thought was eventful for them to say. I loved how Ted was using his "detective work" to dissect Lilly & Marshall's fight. I also liked the "That's what he/she/we should have said" gag. Great episode, that brought a lot of laughs especially by the end, since they find out that the town they now live in is downwind of the sewage treatment plant which makes it smell terrible during the week. Yikes. Excited for the episodes to come. Amazing funny episode.

Marshall and Lily's plan to buy an apartment is hampered by mistakes and Lily's hidden debt; Barney claims to love commitment to seduce a girl This was actually one of the first episode of How I Met Your Mother that I ever saw, and I was pleasently surprised. I thought it was funny how Lily kept her shoppping addiction away from Marshall, and I thought that the ending was very cleaver. As always Barney stole the show, but he is the type of character that can make anything funny. Definately give this episode a watch. Bottom line it was just great.

This episode I thought was good but once again nothing special; I'm still waiting for that next great episode to show that will finally give this season the umph it needs right now.



The subplot I'll admit was weak it was really just one joke, where it was another scheme of Barney's for another one night stand. I laughed at it but not as much because it just feels like a joke we've heard many times before.

Robin again is rather usless but unfortunately so is Ted both had little to do in the episode.



But the rest was pritty good, I really liked the two new elements in it for one thing there was that scene where Ted plays dective which I though was great because it really showed another side to Ted but also the extent of Lily and Marchall's fighting. Unfortunately he was way off on the solution to the mystery.



But most of all that new element where we see the character say one thing but then it flashes to what they really say. In a way it sort of reflect the common mannerism we all have whenever we talk most of the time. Sometimes we don't always mean what we say because we have trouble expressing the truth mainly out of fear of confrontation, and of course is part of the theme in this episode because secrets we hold sooner or latter the truth always finds a way out, no matter how well kept it is.



And I'll admit it was funny when Lily was telling Marchall the truth about her debts but of course it was a little late for it, and just seeing that look on Marchall's face. And of coruse afterward he drinks that gigantic champaine bottle, I could imagine him getting seriously hammered after that. They of course do get the apartment but then of course there is a twist at the end which is really funny, lets just say there is a reason for that weard name.

I liked this episode, I only now remember the Marshall and Lily storyline, but I feel like there wasn't really one for Robin and Ted, and we just got some slight Barney humor.



Maggie Wheeler pops up again, now as a snoody realtor in the uber-exclusive Dowisetrepla neighborhood in Manahattan. I got to say I was like, I thought I knew all the Manhattan neighborhoods, where is this one. I liked the vision that Marshall and Lily had for the future family, Marshall's family band and Lily's little orchestra thingy, both ending with chocolate breakfast foods.

The CSI-like investigation of the fight that Lily and Marshall had, by Ted, Barney, and Robin.

Barney is just too much. NPH is nailing the character every episode. If in one episode he aint good enough then in the next one he gives u a laugh for both the episodes combined.About the episode though, it revolves around lily trying to tell Marshall about the credit card debts when Marshall plans to buy a new place in this shady area. Theres also a reason why the place got a strange name too.Ted tries to re-enact his detective self trying to solve lily-marshall fight and the scene where he thinks hes solved it and puts on a old fashioned sunglasses on is just too hilarious. Overall this episode was good and consistent with the previous one.
