How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Episode 19

The Fortress was reta-rdedly over the top. The characters have become caricatures of themselves. The show should have ended years ago. Except for a handful of episodes, the last three seasons were mediocre at best. Between the show's quality decline and the incessant breaks between new episodes, I've lost interest.

What are you talking about, jimlfixit?

this episode made me laugh like I haven't in a loooong time

it was emotional, funny, funny, extra funny xD

This show has become seriously unfunny! Not even Barney (who's been P- whipped) can bring back the humor that once was.



The over use of canned laughter doesn't redeem the show.

Finally, a good use for Sassy Marshall. It was a bit obvious from the start of the episode that the fortress of solitude wasn't leaving the Stinson family, mostly because it's a set they would have to completely replace (and just look at how often we see Ted's new apartment). The Lily/Marshall storyline was incomplete, but it's nice to have the reminder that not every argument has to be a huge one - that there is an easy resolution. Ted's hookup left a bit of a bad taste after he's decided he's ready to find the one. He's just going back on his word again (like I predicted he would) and wasting time between now and the wedding. An okay episode but not nearly top-notch.

I appreciated the jole of Ted being such a fan of the show he was watching that he posted to the forum 15 times, and wanted credit for predicting the storyline before it happened. This website should post a clip of it to the homepage as an homage.

I enjoyed the Superman jokes, especially Barney's description of first 3 movies. Was dead on, and funny.
