How awkward was that scene with Professor Infosaurus talking to Ted's kids? They've reused that exact reaction shot about a dozen times now and it didn't even fit with what he was saying.
Overall this was a pretty funny episode. There was a lot of out of character stuff going on and the emotional moments were unearned…

I'll give you she can cry/act well. But she's been the worst part of HIMYM for a fair while now. It's partly the writers fault for giving her nothing to work with but she really seems to be phoning it in.

This was actually pretty good. The Jackie storyline was especially funny and even sort of hit on the heartfelt moments.

I don't think it's good yet. But it's certainly not the worst show of the season. I laughed quite a lot and it does seem to be tackling the premise in a smart way rather than the stupidity of the pilot.

Hijacking because there's no The Neighbours review. That was a genuinely good episode, right? Some of the stuff with Larry and the poker game was stupid but on the whole it was actually a pretty smart portrayal of the ridiculousness of American culture and almost hit the emotional moment in it's relationship to 2nd…

No, these episodes have been brilliant because we've seen a tonne of talking and heaps of game strategy. 2 challenges would just lead to even more characters we have never heard.

I forgot about it and I don't really care.

They're doing that again? Aren't FOX aware that's what killed New Girl's spectacular ratings last year?

So many things wrong with this episode. Was Autumn Reeser trying to imply she would steal that guy's wife if he didn't help her? The whole Delta Force/Russians thing was ludicrously bad. How did they know the Russians would turn up there? Why did the Russians leave the tree cover, weren't they supposed to be Spetsnaz?…

Because this isn't Big Brother and Boston Rob wasn't down in the numbers when he had those guys. The power doesn't shift like it does in Big Brother so you need to make sure it never swings against you by making your entire alliance less of a target if you're down in the numbers. Once someone from your alliance goes…

Plus keeping Russell going into the merge just makes the 3 of them a bigger target.
