    "Unfinished" is an entertaining How I Met Your Met Mother episode. I love how Barney wants Ted to design a new GNB building and Ted says no, and Barney tries to "woo" Ted, as if he was a woman. I love all the ways Barney tries to "woo" Ted. The Robin not being over Don was a good plot because we never really got closure for that storyline. I love how she had trouble deleting his number. I love how she still remembered it after deleting it. I love how happy she got when she forget his number. I give this episode a 8.5/10.moreless

    "Good"
    Definitely not as good as the last episode, but it was still good. Usually I don't like any story lines having to do with Ted's work such as the episode "Mosbius Designs" and many others with him wanting to be an architect, but in this case it gave me a good feeling at the end which this show hasn't done in a while. All the plots came together quite perfectly, from Ted's opportunity to be an architect and amazing friendship development with Barney to Robin finally getting closure from Don, this was a good episode. The only thing that this episode should have worked on a bit more was the comedy.

    How I Met Your Mother is known to be a sitcom (situational comedy) and I just didn't laugh as much, but this episode gave us a great concept that ended beautifully.moreless

    "Mediocre"
    Just when I thought that How I Met Your Mother may have been getting good again after two solid episodes to kick off the season, we get this dud. I know that Josh Radnor is the listed lead of this show, but they have sort of phased him out as much as possible because they know people don't like him. Here though, his presence was just too heavy to ignore, and even some great Barney moments could not save it.

    I also do not want to hear the word "poop" said about 30 times on a primetime broadcast network comedy. Save that for Hannah Montana.moreless
  • I thought this episode was good but not great and not what the previous two episodes were.

    In this episode Ted gets a job offer from GNB and doesn't want to take so Barney uses his tricks normally done on Women to pursue Ted's descision.Meanwhile Robin is having trouble getting closure on Don.

    I liked the Ted stroyline i was rooting for Ted to take the job because him teaching was more boring and to see him having more work problems for shows would be intresting. For Robin and Lily's stroyline i thought i wouldn't like because we really didn't see much of Don and Robin's realtionship, but i didn't hate it thought it was nice and i didn't hate robin in it. But i do think we should shut the doors on the whole Don and Robin thing.

    Overall the episode was good didn't live up to the previous two episodes but i like the start off to this season!:)moreless
  • Barney puts the moves on Ted so Ted will design the new GNB building. Robin keeps calling Don and threatening him.

    This episode was pretty boring. I know a lot of people will disagree. But, there were only a couple of things that were mildly amusing in this episode--Marshall's funk band and the idea that Marshall and Lily think Barney and Ted would be cute together (heh.)

    Nothing happened. It was filler. And with the Robin/Don relationship needing to find closure--last season, this supposedly strong love affair between Don and Robin was all talk and no show. I still have no idea why we should have even cared about Robin/Don because were weren't shown anything.

    So, is Ted going back to being an architect? It feels like the writers can't make up their minds. I guess we were supposed to be moved, but I wasn't.

    This episode was not nearly as good as the last two episodes were.moreless

    • Ted: Actually, I think I'm gonna say "No". Robin: No? Are you kidding me? Lily: But designing a building in New York City is your lifelong dream. Ted: I do not want to work for GNB again. Those guys are evil. No offense, Marshall. Marshall: Dude, none taken. Yes. GNB is The Empire from Star Wars. But the Death Star is gonna get built either way, and don't you think the architect of the Death Star is pretty psyched to have that thing on his space resume? I mean yes, his design was flawed in the sense that a single bullet fired into a particular vent would explode the whole thing… Ted: For all we know, that was the contractor's fault. Marshall: …but that won't happen on your watch. You know why? Because you're Ted Mosby, and you are going to design the most beautiful, ventless, Rebel proof building in Manhattan, with clearly marked emergency stops for every trash compactor on the detention level.

    • Robin: Okay, I left Don another message. Lily: But that's impossible! You deleted his number! Robin: I tried to, but then this thing popped up on my phone and said, "Are you sure?" and I wasn't sure. I can't lie to my phone!
