Well, the ending was funny, but I didn't think it made sense with the episode at all. I didn't love this episode and found the ending (aside from the Doogie reference) extremely disappointing.

The episode did mention his blog at least once. I was disappointed we didn't get to find out who the girl was, but I love how they pick up threads from past episodes and bring them back later. It's so uncommon for a sitcom, and I am looking forward to this story continuing later.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm torn... I loved that the show finally addressed what an utter fucking asshole Barney is (as a fictional character, I adore him, but the few real-world variations on him I've encountered--fortunately, very few--have been extremely nauseous individuals) and I loved Lily's dogged insistence that he make some attempt at reparation, but I'm still kind of squeamish over how the women he nails and forgets are portrayed, and the way Ted, Robin and Marshall talk about them makes me like them a bit less.

He's mentioned his blog in other episodes.

I think that they tried to address that with the beer and the brackets. First, they totally refused to be involved, then the beer got them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I especially loved the Doogie Howser reference at the end.
That's what that was! I got that it was a reference, but I didn't know to what.

And then they were all depressed by the horribleness by the time they got to the Final Four.

I watched the first part of the new Sense and Sensibility last night after HIMYM and realized Willoughby is Regency Barney!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm still kind of squeamish over how the women he nails and forgets are portrayed,
You know, I'm generally okay with the portrayals of the women he sleeps with, and the way he talks about them, as a totally over-the-top joke, but when he said "I think I actually sold a woman once," that crossed way over the line for me.
