I'll make this quick, because there isn't much to say about this horrible episode. This seasons Good/Bad record now stands as 2-2.
I'm getting a little tired of the show being aware of how long it's taking for Ted to tell the story of meeting his wife. All the little quips made by Kal Penn about Robin needing to get to the point are just insulting to the HIMYM fans. It's like the writers are just giving the audience a huge middle finger. They're telling us, we know are flaws and we are just going to make fun of them instead of fixing them.
Speaking of Kal Penn... damn was his character awful! He was obnoxious and annoying and served no purpose other then the above mentioned jokes about how long this story is taking.
Speaking of annoying... looks like likable Ted was a one week anomaly. This episode brought back the whinny Ted that we have all grown to hate over the last few years. Nothing makes an episode unfunny faster then annoying Ted.
Speaking of Narrator Ted (I know, I know, I said nothing about Narrator Ted, but I have a pattern going)... I have no problem with the writers breaking from the normal style of the show, I liked the thought of them changing the point of view of the story even if it made no practical sense, but if you're going to make Robin the narrator of an episode you can't just randomly throw Narrator Ted in.
Speaking of things not making sense... haven't we already done an episode about how involved Marshal and Lily get with their Halloween costumes? It was never mentioned once that Ted partakes in these costumes, so why suddenly is Ted having a breakdown about not being part of them? And what about Robin helping Barney shutting things down? Don't you think she would have been a little upset that he didn't shut these things down when he was dating her? Especially since she wants to get back with him now. This revisionist history in the HIMYM universe is getting really bad and really annoying.
An worst of all... this episode didn't have a laugh in it.
