“Totally” -Ted “Awesome” -Barney The misadventures at “Puzzle”, the chronology twist, the rare and wonderful pairing of sentimental Marshall with realist Robin, the hilarious bar montage, the return of Ranjit and an ending that’ll go down in How I Met Your Mother history; this episode has officially become one of my favourites of the series.
I am going home in 5 days. And I sincerely miss home. At home, when you bump into someone they really do turn around and make sure that you’re ok. There are free doughnuts when you go Christmas tree shopping at Sheridan Nurseries and hot cider too. And I’m fairly certain that those strip clubs […]
AILMENT Headaches, nausea and signs of depression brought on by sub par comedy attempts, tired plot lines, inconsistency in Barney Stinson’s values and the sight of Jason Segal in bad drag. SUGGESTED REMEDY A hearty dose of maniacle supervillain laughter, the unauthorized use of military spy satelites, and 4 or 5 rounds of Klingon Boggle is […]
OBSESSIONS OF THE WEEK BARACK OBAMA, The Presidential Election and The American People. I’m the proudest Canadian you will ever find, at least in Boston. But last night I found myself insanely jealous of my American friends. Not only was their election a celebration the scale of which Canada has never seen, but they now have […]

I was walking down the street today listening to Title of Show, a slightly obscure contemporary piece of musical theatre. Their song “9 People’s favourite Thing”, my favourite on the soundtrack, got me thinking. If I were a Hollywood showrunner (I can dream can’t I?) I would want to make a show that 10 people […]
On Big Bang Theory, a lonely and depressed Penny hilariously became obsessed with online gaming. While on How I Met Your Mother Ted agreed to move to New Jersey and Robin agreed to move to Japan for a new job. But I swear the episode was actually funny, not just full of depressing revelations that […]
This week’s How I Met Your Mother is bad. It’s not funny, it’s unoriginal, uninspiring and even a little sad. Barney seems to be more annoying than he’s ever been (though his motivation turns out to actually be pretty sweet), Robin’s story is ridiculous and Marshall reaches new lows of pathetic. After such a promising […]
