How I Met Your Mother Forums

Marshall goes to his father's grave for New Year's Day tailgating; Barney and Ted open a bar; Robin fills in for a news anchor.

(I thought Ted and Barney decided that running a bar would be too hard in "Three Days of Snow.")

where can i find the last episode? i want to download it...!

I felt like this episode went by really quickly. It was like they wee starting a bunch of different story lines but not really going deeply into them. There was a lot going on.

I liked the flashback near the end where Marshall was compared to his father. It was also interesting seeing how Robin will become the co-anchor. The funniest part was when in the theme song Barney was like "And we bang chicks in Ted's room" :p

Overall a pretty average episode. I checked www.puzzlesthebar.com and there wasnt anything there.

can someone give me link please?

Very average episode. On paper, it was OK, but it was just average.

I do like Alexis Denisof, so that's always a highlight for me. And, I liked the ending with Lily's dad showing up with the teddy bear. I also like Marshall realizing that he's like his dad. That was sweet.

But, I could really care less about the Puzzles storyline, because it kept bothering me that the show didn't remember that Ted and Barney didn't even like running a bar for a couple hours--even though they referenced the "We should buy a bar!" "We should TOTALLY buy a bar! And the name of the bar? Puzzles! Why's it called 'Puzzles'? That's the puzzle!" conversation. They remembered the conversation, didn't remember the episode.

And that drove me nuts. To the point where I was just wanting that storyline to get over with. (Of course, it also bothered me that the hats were wet. Why were the hats wet?)

Just very average episode.

Here you go.

I thought that the hats being wet was funny. Why would they be wet? Haha

YES! Puzzlesthebar.com is up!!

There were a few funny moments (Mostly Sandy) here and there but the first 2/3 really dragged.

But I think the ending really saved this one. Liked the moment with Marshall being like his dad, Robin taking on the new year by the horns and the ending with Lily's Dad was really nice.

This one gets a thumbs up for me. Hopefully s7 has turned it around now.

The show is back to funny which I'm so grateful for. I've been not enjoying Season 7, not hating it but not enjoying it. Now I'm loving it again. The interruptions of Marshall were annoying but if that's the price I had to pay for the sweet scene at the end then I'd pay twice over again.

I love that Robin has realized she wants to be back on air again. She loved it and then somehow it wasn't a dream of hers anymore. I loved her speech about the new year. Very touching.

To the people who complained that Barney and Ted didn't learn their lesson about runninga bar I say the group NEVER learns their lessons. Robin blackslides with both of her exes, multiple times with Ted. In Season one they learn that clubs aren't awesome, they aren't even okay. However they still go to them and know a lot about them. The gang doesn't learn and we don't want them to. It keeps things interesting. It's like Barney and all his rules. Stuff gets said but Barney does whatever he really wants. The gang is the same way. LOVED the puzzle theme song. I like how Kevin keeps trying to be apart of the group. I wonder how much longer he'll be around.

I'm glad they are redeeming Lily's Dad. All the stuff he did to her and the things that went wrong, Lily deserves better and it looks like now he's going to try and get things right. Favorite joke from that storyline was,
Marshall: I believe in you Lily.
Lily: Great then that means I probably don't exist.

Great one.

I loved whoever has their signature read "No one reads signatures." That was great.
