How I Met Your Mother: Milk
(S01E21) One episode left and Lily had me worried there for a while. After her reservations the past couple of weeks, and her desperate plea for Ted to come and rescue her, I thought one of two things were going to happen. She was either going to make a move on Ted, or she really was going to make a break for it and run away. Lily's justification for being freaked out probably doesn't sit well with those of you that haven't been around friends or family right before they get married. Needless to say, it's probably not half as crazy as some of the things people have done when they've had cold feet. On with the show!One of my favorite parts about this show is how "down to earth" it is. They're very self-referential -- just because six months ago a dating service didn't work for Ted doesn't mean that it would never work. The computerized dating firm that Camryn Manheim ran a couple of months ago had been franchised out and they found Ted's perfect soul mate. Before Ted could made it to his date though, Lily's freaking out led him to spend another evening with Robin. Poor Ted; it just reaffirmed how much he still felt for Robin. I'm hoping that Robin and Ted end up together long enough to realize that they don't work. Not that they hate each other, but sometimes (and at least in this case we know that's how it ends) people are better off as friends than they are in a relationship. I just want to get to that point so we can move beyond the Robin stuff, but I realize that in doing so the show will be dangerously close to jumping the shark.
The side story with Marshall and Barney and their interbuilding prank feud was awesome. Not only was it the comic relief, but it also served to show that Marshall wasn't quite as confident in himself and the marriage as he would seem. He just had a slightly different way of showing it than running off to San Francisco for an art program. All in all, a great episode. It's going to be very bittersweet with next week's finale. I wonder if we'll finally meet the mother, or maybe we already have. Let me know what you think.
Barneyisms of the Week:
Really? Cause I could have sworn you fell straight outta heaven, angel. Bing.
Let's make that bastard pay.
Ted: "I need a favor."
Barney: "Anything for you bro."
Ted: "I need you come out to Duchess County and pick me up."
Barney: "Nope."
