I have seen like every episode before season 5 like 10 times. And one thing I know is that a lot of episodes contradicts eachother. The characters are constantly changing their opinions and feelings and the way their life are built. The show is not to be taken seriously, the possibilty of the "One year later" acctually having something to do with anything thats coming up in the show is incredibly small. To enjoy this, you need to take each episode as a seperate story in order for anything in the entire story to make sense. There is rarely anything that has to do with Ted finding his lady and when he does. Where will the top rating show go? The shows entire name would be compromised. There is a possibility that the show will run all the way untill its cancelled and then make a movie where ted finds his love.<br /><br />Please forgive any misspellings.

That's incredibly cruel and sexist and full of double standard. Ted's the manwhore here. By calling them random skanks, you're basically saying dating Ted makes one a skank, which is just mean. If you said dating Ted makes you stupid, I'd have to go with it. Stupidity is an equal opportunity trait. Skank applies only to women and is just a double standard, which is a tough sell in a show that features Barney and his cruel conquest and abondonement of women. <br /><br />Just not cool people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-17585290622584116942010-03-23T15:34:39.977-04:002010-03-23T15:34:39.977-04:00"Also, MAN has Ted dated a lot!

The joke there was more that he was old than that he didn't belong at their dinner, but it still pretty much falls into this category.<br /><br />Actually, that was my only bummer about this episode, that there weren't more callbacks. It was nice to see Natalie and Karen again, but I was hoping some of the other random skanks would be recognizable, considering how many of them we've actually seen. When you add together all of the dates here and all of the ones we've actually encountered, Ted is basically always dating, 24/7.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543960876991187244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-26577126036936688752010-03-23T15:17:09.713-04:002010-03-23T15:17:09.713-04:00I always enjoy the episodes that play with time an...I always enjoy the episodes that play with time and this was no exception. <br /> <br />The only thing that concerns me a little is the whole "Barney never takes bad picture" thing. It was funny of course but just concerns me a teeny bit because it is the first time, I believe, they gave Barney something that is basically magic. I could be mistaken but in the past whenever Barney has done impossible or unlikely things it turned out he somehow cheated or cut a corner to make it happen but this is basically just magic.<br /><br />Magic powers could be the first step in the Fonzification of Barney or just a blip in the cause of a joke.
