How I Met Your Mother: The Drunk Train (2012)
A notch up, finally.
I posted a review on the previous episode about the Beekeeper, and I am grateful that this episode has had the season finally going somewhere. Although not as funny as how I'd like it to be, it was a major development for at least 3 main characters. What I did not see coming was the twist in the end and if this goes on like how I see it to be, it would be contradictory to some of the previous episodes: the fact that Ted referred Robin to his kids as 'Aunt Robin'.
Nevertheless I'm glad that this episode has made some sort of progress in its main plot. Contradictory or not I would definitely be tuning in to find out the outcome of Barney's potential crush and especially what happens next between Ted and Robin. Hope that the content of upcoming episodes(whats left of the season anyway) would make me laugh as hard as I did for some, and not stray away like it did for many previous episodes in season 7. What we needed was suspense, drama, and development, not pointless humor and stalling. This episode did indeed make up for a substantial amount of progression that was suppose to be due much, much more earlier than this.
How I Met Your Mother: The Burning Beekeeper (2012)
What is going on?
How I met your mother was simply breath-taking when it first started, and the way its story line always summed up together has always natural and fitted the bill as a sit-com. But what all the previous reviews mention is true: it is abysmal and what comes together doesn't make it funny anymore, the Barney humor has exhausted out and I only watch it because I, like other HIMYM fans, am loyal.
The entire 7th season is dull and completely unfunny. The humor has dried off and even its sarcasm doesn't have any effects on me. Every episode from the beginning is only built around something which is irrelevant to the main plot of the show. HIMYM needs to step up its game and focus on what actually matters. I get one or two episodes can sometimes stray off for fun but the entire season? This show needs to get back to the main point of the show, how did Ted meet the mother of his children.
As a loyal audience (I have re-watched dozens of episodes from previous seasons and still enjoy them!), I am really hoping that this show gets back on track on its feet and finally have some significant development to the main characters and Ted's wife and stop making episodes that doesn't have any progression at all per se. With the continuous dullness this show is having it will eventually fall out of a category that I will even bother coping on, and I'm sure I speak not only for myself. We need relevant progression!
