Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Not enough Barney. Too much Marshall.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Especially Robin licking the adhesive off the envelopes.

Oh, that's what she was doing! I thought she was eating them.

What is even happening?

I love when HIMYM gets super New York-y, but it does make me worry about Other People liking it....

I love when they get New Yorky they too, even though I'm not a New Yorker, but I didn't think the episode was funny.

Yeah, I didn't either. And there was sitcom stupidity. Why didn't Robin just take the burger with her? Why didn't she eat other people's fries while she was waiting? She's going to eat potato chips out of the garbage, but can't grab a candy bar from a street cart?

Yeah, that bugged me. You can eat! Be sneaky!

Ouch. You really didn't.

Maybe it's okay that I missed it then? Man, I hope they step up their game!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I liked it, but literally mostly for the stuff like the throwaway line about the old lady in a bikini on public access (who is real, and actually came up in conversation today), and when the guy suggested Corner Bistro and Marshall flipped out on him.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

To me it seemed like an average sitcom. Funny, but not up to HIMYM's usual standards.
