That's fantastic. Somebody is very clever.

Oh, god. I didn't get that until Dana's post.

OK, I think I'm done with HIMYM. This one is just too much. They've even managed to ruin a Frances Conroy guest shot for me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's who that was!
What was too much about it? I thought it was great.

Me too. We had a TiVo conflict awhile back and we decided Gossip Girl was better; tonight it was a repeat so we got HIMYM. I thought it was better than most of what we got earlier in the season. Although I agree that Conroy was off.

The storyline took Barney to a level of ridiculousness normally reserved for cartoon characters and Muppets. I like Neil Patrick Harris, but Barney is dead to me from this point onward.

What is even happening?
Matt, I'm not done with it, but I couldn't buy into the premise for a minute, so I never got into it. I laughed at all the appropriate parts because the cast is pretty good (although JR remains the weak link for me), but it was just too too.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
JR/Ted = DS/Ross imo. By far the most irritating characters on their shows, baffling to me as to how they get so much attention.
I had a whole bit on how I bought into part of it, but not all of it, but then I read what I typed and realized I don't buy into it. I do think Barney is completely ridiculous enough to hire a fake wife and son, and his ridiculous asshat behavior with women is far more upsetting to me than this particular storyline, but the biggest question for me is why would he want to hire a fake family in the first place? Barney's mom "whored" around and didn't take gruff from her kids when they were little in the 2 episodes we heard but not saw her, yet 10 years ago apparently she's so sick and rueful her boys didn't turn out the way she hoped (I guess his brother having a family didn't count) Barney needs to fake a family before she dies, then only 3 years ago she was as tough as nails enough to do some sort of insider trading or whatnot that Barney alluded to in the episode where Lily moves in, but she's still alive this year not acting feisty at all and feels like Mary Sue mom. I don't buy it.

Summer Glau is going to be on the Big Bang Theory playing herself tonight, and it sounds like it is going to be worth watching. It's on right before HIMYM, if you don't normally watch it.
