HIMYM -- spoliers

I generally love this show... but this whole season seems to be 'filler' episodes.

Nothing special has been revealed other than the opening episodes. I am trying to catch things especially related to Victoria/Ted's revalation that they can't work it out as friends like that.. or whatever she said as she was getting on the bus.

Last night wasn't that funny-- I did laugh at Marshal and Lilly's bedroom scene.

and, I am NOT a Nora fan.. Barney is annoying with her.

  • I hate Nora too. I cannot wait for their breakup.

  • I had a few laughs, but I agree that there isn't much going on so far this season.  I did think it was funny when Ted callled everyone he could think of to go to the Weird Al concert.   

    I don't think Robin's character has any chemistry with Kal Penn.  I'm not a Nora fan either!

  • I also kind of thought it was ridic that they brought in Barney's brother, who we haven't seen for a loooong time for him just to mention that Nora reminded him of their mom. Kevin brought up the parent issue thing, so I just didn't see the point of his brother being there.

    I'm totally not a Nora fan.

    Also, MH and I were cracking up during the Ted calling everyone he knew scene.

  • Nora reminds me too much of Lila (???not sure of right name) in the 2nd season of Dexter.

  • I liked this episode, but then again, I don't mind the "filler" episodes.  As long as the show is entertaining, I'll watch. 

    I will say, as a fairly big Weird Al fan, that end cameo alone was enough for me.

    Why? Because she has a English accent?

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • I think my favorite part was "Hand Central Station".  Other than that, I thought the episode was meh.  The characters imagining their loved ones as their parents was just weird to me.  I also can't stand the actor who plays Lilly's dad, so that was definitely part of it.

    That but I think the way she looks reminds me a lot of her. Even my hubby says it.

  • With most shows I don't mind filler episodes occasionally, as long as they're funny, but with HIMYM I feel like this whole season has been filler...so frustrating!!  I watched a few episodes of re-runs last week and was reminded how funny this show used to be. I will keep watching because it is amusing sometimes, but the episodes have really gone down hill :(

    I actually like this season.   I like that they are growing up and that a lot of the humor is from their 'growing pains'.  To me, it makes sense for the characters and is necessary to make the series as whole make sense. 


  • This episode was weird and almost creepy...and not really funny. Sad I don't want to give up on this show but they really need a couple of good episodes soon!

  • We didn't watch it last night (it's on the DVR for tonight), but I figured nothing big would be happening so I had no problem reading this thread. Ditto, it's so lackluster this season.

    I read an interview with one of the creators where he said that it'd pick up during November (for sweeps, I guess). Let's hope so.

    ETA: Just watched it. UGH.

  • I agree that I don't like Nora and Barney, but I also don't like Robin and Barney. Plus, I would be pissed if Robin got married since that's the reason why her and Ted never work out. 
  • I really like Kal Penn's character, but I want Robin with Barney. I also really don't like Nora. 

    It has felt like a bunch of filler episodes, but I'll keep watching because I just want to know who the damn mother is!!!

  • For me, I laughed harder last night watching it on DVR than I had in a long time...maybe I was just in a good mood... ?  :)

    I laughed at the scene where Marshall and Lily's fathers were about to make out. Marshall's dad wearing Lily's pajamas was pretty funny.

    Nora singing "My Favorite Things" out of nowhere was just bizarre. I get that they were trying to show the comparison between her and Loretta, but they really just shoehorned that in there, huh?
