"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Instead of Lilly calling Ted's exes skanks, I kept wondering why she didn't point out the more obvious fact: Ted's a slut.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Anyway, the show is kind of in a bad rut for me now; sort of the way Friends would be periodically. Where the little quirks of the characters become more bent and twisted by comic necessity until the characters become sort of revolting.

I am almost incapable of criticising the show 'cause I love it so much, but even I'm getting tired of this. Taking likeable characters in a fun situation and making them parodies of themselves is dull. I won't be giving up on it, but I want the writers to pick themselves up.

Mostly, I think the show does best what it says on the tin - setting Ted up to meet the mother. If this season can get back to that, it might be redeemable.

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

oh come on HIMYM, Lily should have gotten smashed in the face by the recoil when she fired that gun.

I am loving Wil Wheaton's appearances on The Big Bang Theory. Evil!Wil is fun.

Just one episode, but we hope he'll be back. He was in the last season of The Guild, and he'll probably be back next season.
