How I Met Your Mother S9/E19 Review: “Vesuvius”
It might just be the fact that I watch a lot of other shows during any particular television season. Or it might be the fact that How I Met Your Mother has been on for 9 years now. That’s a lot of time, a lot of content, storyl...
How I Met Your Mother S9/E18 Review: “Rally”
It’s strange to me that this season’s greatest strength has tended to double as its greatest weakness. Season 9 has used a serialized method unlike any season before, but each episode in itself is a fairly standard ...
How I Met Your Mother S9/E17 Review: “Sunrise”
It seems that the closer and closer we get to the end of How I Met Your Mother, the harder it is for me to accept. An episode like “Sunrise” made me reminisce about the show as a whole, without ever feeling that I&#...
How I Met Your Mother S9/E16 Review: “How Your Mother Met Me”
Truth be told, I am not exactly sure what I feel about “How Your Mother Met Me.” At times, the episode felt incredibly blissful. Particularly the ending, but I’ll get to that in a minute. As you can probably guess from the titl...

How I Met Your Mother S9/E12 “The Rehearsal Dinner” Review
After last week’s incredibly ambitious efforts, How I Met Your Mother had set a new type of bar to try and reach. “The Rehearsal Dinner” is, by comparison, a fairly basic episode of How I Met Your Mother, complete with flashbac...
How I Met Your Mother S9/E11 “Bedtime Stories” Review
The way I see it, fans will fall into two categories when it comes to this episode. Either you will think it’s totally lame, or you will applaud the glorious effort. Personally, I found myself more into the latter category. Hav...
How I Met Your Mother S9/E10 “Mom and Dad” Review
How I Met Your Mother Season 9 has been in this habit of using fairly perplexing or cliched setups and turning them into emotionally resonant moments involving characters we have come to know and love quite well. “Mom and...
How I Met Your Mother S9/E9 “Platonish” Review
I have to admit, I thought this episode was going to be a cheap side trip back in time simply to continue stretching out the wedding weekend. Currently, we still have 31 hours until the wedding, and we started off at 55. The wa...
