OF COURSE! – REVIEW of SEO5 E17

March 9, 2010

Jennifer Lopez was the guest star last night on How I Met Your Mother and did a great job!- much better than Carrie Underwood last week. It was interesting to see the show had two huge guest stars on back to back episodes, but Lopez was great fun to watch as she toyed with Barney. Though I think that the show really does not need to rely guest stars to be a success.

The highlight for me was seeing the true character of Barney -his much softer side. Since Barney and Robin’s break up, it had been unreal for things to go back to normal so quickly as if the relationship never happened, or was not at all important. And apparently poor Robin felt the same. This was an issue to be dealt with and the writers did a great job showing how much Barney actually cares for Robin.

I was not a fan of Ted’s song about the Super date though. It was awkward and did not work within the context or with Ted’s character. And then again,  I loved when the whole gang broke out singing the very catchy Bang Bang!!

I must admit, I was disappointed to see Robin go on the “super date” with Don. And I think a lot of you were too. I was, and not-so-secretly, hoping they will get back together.

Do you think the writers are paving the way back to Robin & Barney 2.0 ?

I sure hope so!!

My fave moments;

Barney: At least when I run out on a girl, I have the decency to sleep with her first. It’s called manners.

Marshall: You’re my wife. You’re supposed to stop me from embarrassing myself in public.

The title of Jlo’s Book: ‘Of Course You’re Still Single, Take a Look at Yourself, You Dumb Slut.

 And of course…

I said, bang, bang, bangity, bang bang…
