Oh, this is going to be hilarious. Marshall as Lily's dad is one of the funniest things ever on this show.

Can't wait!

I'm so excited for this, the promos look amazing!

TFTNT!

The promo looks kinda creepy, but the sneak peek looks really interesting.

Excited for the sneak peek plotline. I'm simul/taneously excited and dreading the B/N story. Excited for their date to be ruined (always amusing to see Nora get trashed) and dreading the outcome.

Chutes and Lilys? omfg I so can't wait to laugh my booty off watching this episode.
The homeless guy falling off of the building while Nora and Barney are on their date is priceless.

ooh can't wait

Finally! They're going to show the cracks in Nora's character . . . and humanize her. I hope that the writers will put this ideal portrayal of her far behind after this episode.

This is an interesting storyline, to say the least...... I don't think Marshall is ANYTHING like Lily's dad, but we'll see.

I don't know how far they're going to take this, but if Lily just overreacts because of the game thing, then I can definitely see it, because that trait they have shared on several occasions in several seasons. If he acts a lot different in this episode to try to force the similarities, then I'll be iffy on it.

I liked this episode, I thought I wouldn't at first but I did. I must watch this again though. My review tomorrow!

I'm sorry, but this episode is awful and just creepy. Worst episode of the season so far. The only part I liked was Barney and his raincoat. I don't expect every episode to be well written like the one with Victoria, but come on!

I liked some parts but it left me confused on some things

The Marshall/Lily story was creepy and funny at times. The callback to Marshall's board games was great but I think that's the only thing he has in common with her father Really enjoyed seeing Marshall's dad again though

Barney/Nora, this was supposed to be romantic and at times it was but what I'm concerned about is that relationship is supposed to have Barney maturing. I'm not saying that he should be a different person because I really don't want that but showing some growth at least. He seemed to be more focused on having sex with her than spending a romantic evening together. It's Barney, of course he should be excited for this but IDK. He's probably still adjusting to being in a serious relationship

The Robin/Kevin/Ted story. I'm on board with TR being really close for exes and I could see why it would bother Kevin. What's bothering me is that they seemed to have dropped the fact Robin had feelings for Barney a couples of epsiodes ago. She confessed that to Kevin not long ago. Her little outburst about Nora was pretty obvious and he doesn't seem to care about that but he does freak out about TR. Is it because Ted's single and Barney's not? I don't remember if Robin did mention Barney by name when talking about it in therapy but it still just seems odd to me.

And Ted, I felt bad for him. It really must be hard to see all your best friends in relationships while you're alone and it was really nice of Kevin to go to that concert with him. Loved the montage of him calling praticaly everyone to go with him. I really want him to find a girlfriend, he deserves it

Very enjoyable episode. Bizarre, yet funny.

A lot of people keep saying that Barney should be "maturing" due to his relationship with Nora. I find this expectation a bit . . . uh, premature. People simply do not change that fast. Everyone has good and bad qualities in their personality makeup. Which means, Barney will always maintain some of the less-than-pleasant aspects of his nature - like everyone else. If Nora truly loves him, she's going to have to learn to accept all of him - the good and the bad.


I rather liked Nora in this episode and the many times she nearly fell apart over some disastrous circumstance during her date with Barney. Well, to be honest, I like Nora anyway. Yes, she does come off a bit perfect, but I think I'm getting used to her.

The whole theme of dating or marrying those who are like your parents really had me in stiches, tonight. The funniest moments featured Marshall and Lily's experiences and Barney's, when Nora was trying to seduce him.

Also, Ted is a Weird Al Yankovic fan? Great funny moments from Josh Radnor.

I don't think it's right to be criticising Barney to be focusing on sex.

I think your missing the point of his maturation, he's only maturing into a monogamous person because of his new found feelings of love, which were only present for the chick when he was a hippy and to an extent, Robin. Everything else of his personality will remain the same, and they should be or HIMYM would be gone.

And even if it wasn't Barney, it's pretty normal for a guy to act like that, especially after 2 months without a "shag". And on that, I think Barney's making some good progress, I was pretty surprised it had actually gotten to 2 months. Anyway, it's normal especially for a sitcom.
