For the record, I don't get insulted that easily. But, this episode insulted me. I realize that Ted's memory was exaggerated and Barney and Robin didn't really look like that. But, as I said, this is what WE see. You want to get the same point across without devolving into insulting, sitcomy humor (this was handled with even less class than fat Monica was handled on Friends)? Barney wearing jeans, sweatpants, T-shirts, baseball...

The funnier the storyteller thinks the event was the more s/he is going to exaggerate. So you...

I think it's too soon to pass a verdict yet, we've only got to the first innings of the game. So far from what I saw Season 5 has been hit or miss, two episodes I reviewed of the season I think are worth checking out. But I do feel there is still a chance and hope the season will shape up, and I hope the end result will blow me away. One of the things I would like to see is a bit more of Ted and more clues to the mom's identity...

If Robin and Barney don't break up soon, we'll lose Barney forever. And then the show itself. They're jumping the shark at the moment.

I am a little sad with the ending of Barney and Robin though, personally I liked the Barney/Robin relationship. I also loved this episode. The station wagon scene was one of the best in HIMYM history. Best line was: "It was the Deathstar Lily. They knew what they were getting themselves into." This episode was very mature i...

It was a funny episode, and there was nothing wrong with the fat suit. It wasn't making fun of fat people, the humour is found in future Ted's exaggeration. It was clever.

I think the problem this show ran into is that it's lacking in the area which originally drew me in: Joke continuity. Season one and two both had recurring jokes all throughout them. Even season three had some. The tramp stamp removal episode where Ted mentions liking the doctor, and then episodes/situations later involving said doctor, is a good example. Those things really pulled me in during the first two seasons. I really miss the...

I loved this episode. i think everyone did a great job. lovedd the whole bagpipe skit. Marshal and Lily are so cute together, i still cant get over how cute they are even though its been 5 seasons.

I don't see what the big deal is. Barney is still the same Barney he's just not womanizing anymore. He still has his crazy theories and advice. Watching him adjust to being with only one woman is hilarious. The scene where he instinctively got up and tried to sneak out of the window was gold. The thing that people need to realize and accept is that this show is all about growing up. No one is going to remain exactly the same for 5...
