How I Met Your Mother: Gary Blauman (2014)
The end is near
I have to start off by saying that the writers have really surprised me with this second half of the season, i had almost lost hope, the criticism on social networks almost felt contagious. I was wrong to try and conform with the hate because these are the amazing writers that brought us some amazing episodes like slap bet, the naked man, three days of snow, ten sessions ,which the last few minutes of this episode seem to callback some of the awesome elements of that two minute date.
With most loose ends tied up between secondary characters, it really does feel like the end is near. This episode strikes hard near the end because Teds lesson is true, you do loose contact with people that once played a part of your life, and it almost felt like this lesson was intentional this late because this might be the last time we see some of these characters.
With the end so close i wish nothing but success for these actors, and hope that the love spreads just like the hate did.
How I Met Your Mother: Platonish (2013)
Nostalgia...
I started watching HIMYM last year on Netflix, and only saw the last few episodes of season 8 on live TV. It might be because of that why I never really experienced the great ''decline of HIMYM'' as some might call it. I do find this season to be unfolding rather slow, which as a viewer can be annoying since waiting a week for not much development on the story as a whole, can be annoying.
I loved this episode. I loved the scene with barney and the mother, and this might have been a flashback episode but it certainly didn't feel filler. Ted going for the french horn with pliers was a nice touch.
I also really enjoyed this episode because, to be completely honest, the show at its absolute prime was when at least two of the members of the group where single at the same time. Unfortunately, on the creators part, this show is called HIMYM, not Friends or Seinfeld, so they had to stay objective and move the show forward.
Even though the first 8 episodes of season 9 weren't as objective as we wanted, that's not what matters. Whats important is how it ends which is what we will remember. So if the last part of season 9 is amazing, that's how we will remember the show as a whole.
Perhaps then we will see the first part of season 9 in a whole new light with all of its nostalgic callbacks and ''filler'' episodes.
