So long, How I Met Your Mother

As the last two episodes of HIMYM (Last Forever Part 1&2) has aired. I would like to write down my favorite episode of each season. Here we go.

SEASON 1

The Pineapple Incident:

So, the episode started like any other, they were downstairs at the bar. And then,

Carl (The bartender) gave them five drink of his own concoction (The Red Dragon)

After that, Robin left the bar for a dinner with a hundred-millionaire. And the rest of the gang gave Ted a challenge to do the five shots, and he did. And when he was waking up the following morning, he found out there’s

A Pineapple on the table.

 And,

A girl slept next to him.

And also the sprained ankle and burnt coat. Then he asked Marshall, Lily, and Barney about those things,  nd they had no idea about the girl and the pineapple except for the sprained ankle and the burnt coat. But then the girl woke up and showed up, and filled them in, told them the rest of the story. But they never found out where that pineapple came from.

SEASON 2

Crazy Eyes:

The story began when a (cute) coffee girl wrote a heart by Marshall’s name in his coffee cup and Ted thought that the girl had a crush on Marshall. Marshall explained that he always cracked that coffee girl up when he came over by telling the pumpkin jokes, that was actually not funny at all but that might be the reason why did the coffee girl liked Marshall. Marshall started a date with the coffee girl  (Her name is Chloe). After that, Ted, Robin, and Barney tried to explain to Lily that Marshall had have a date, but Lily didn’t take it well plus Ted and Barney started to think that Chloe had crazy eyes. Lily ruined Marshall and Chloe’s date.

After that, Marshall felt so sad and went out to find Lily. They explained to each other that they missed each other so much and they back together!

 

 

Another interesting thing in this episode is when everybody started to call Barney, Swarley, and Barney really didn’t take it well.

SEASON 3

How I Met Everyone Else:

Ted introduced his new date to the gang at the bar, her name is ‘Blah’. Blah told the gang about the fake story of how she met ted because she was embarrassed they met online. Then, Lily and Marshall tell her about how they both met and Blah asked Robin.

Ted discovered that Blah felt insecure, thus he told the story of how he met everyone else. And there was a conflict between how he and Lily met, it was a freshman year and they both made out at the party, but he didn’t want to ruin Lily and Marshall's relationship so he kept his mouth shut and Blah got mad and left him.

SEASON 4

The Best Burger In N.Y:

When Robin ordered five burgers at McLaren’s, Marshall remembered the best burger he ever had in N.Y, he’d looked for it for so many times but he never found out. After that the gang decided to search the burger. And, after so many different place they went to.

They nailed it!

SEASON 5

Home Wreckers:

Ted is stunned when his mother and her boyfriend (Clint) announce they are going to be married. The gang then doesn’t see him for nearly three days, after which Ted revealed that he has bought a house. The gang questioned his decision, as the house is old and dilapidated, but Ted is convinced he’ll fix up the house once he starts a family. The group berated Ted for made this decision too early, seeing as he isn’t even married yet. And then, Ted wondered if he would ever have the life he dreamed of. Lily cheered him up by telling him to bash the house with a sledgehammer, and the whole group had fun smashed a wall with it. 

Meanwhile, Barney took every opportunity to mock Robin for crying when Clint was singing. Future Ted then revealed the house became his future home, with the broken wall transformed into one with a cabinet and lighted shelves, the very wall which Ted’s kids are sitting in front of.

SEASON 6

Ted discovered that it took 6 six miles from McLaren’s to the restaurant. Then, the gang all race to catch a glimpse of the Woody Allen. Too bad, they all arrived at the same time and though Ted proposed they declared a tie, they immediately continued the race back to McLaren’s. Everyone in the gang.

really needed a win that day, except Barney, well because his life was perfect that time. At the road, Marshall and Lily figured out how silly they were and discussed about their problem and decided to go to Coney Island to have fun, at the same time Ted, Barney, and Robin race for the finish, and Robin finally won the race!-wait for it- that was Barney. Barney had spotted that Robin had been crying earlier, and purposefully tripped Ted and himself so Robin could win. While Robin enjoyed her winning and talked with Max, she finally became a "real" New Yorker that day because Robin then kills a cockroach on the table with her hand, thus fulfilled all three tasks.

Throughout those all, Marshall’s health insurance has expired and he was seeing death everywhere. He refused to go anywhere without Lily because he thought he would be attacked by a bear. Lily complained that he wasn’t giving her enough time to be alone and that all she wanted to do is sit in the bath and read a book. During the storm Marshall poured Lily a bath and told her to have a little alone time. Lily said she wanted Marshall to stay and they end up conceived their baby in Barney's bathroom. Barney has grown tired of his ducky tie and Lily and Marshall agreed that he could take it off but he must gain an extra 3 slaps to his already existing final slap which gave Marshall 4 slaps. Marshall then gave out two slaps right there and then. And in the end of the episode, Barney and Robin hook up in the cab. 

SEASON 8

Lily got call from Judy and Lily told her that she and Marshall was so busy packing for Rome, and Judy got surprised and mad, she wanted to see Marvin before they all move to Rome, but Lily had a job. While Marshall and Marvin at Minnesota, Judy kept making jokes that she either won’t let then to move to Rome whice drove Lily mad. Lily called Marshall and Marshall assured her that nothing is going to change their plans of moving to Rome. As Lily hung up the phone, Marshall got call about his application for a judgeship in N.Y. Marshall got doubt after that, because he had to choose. At the bar, Ted informed Lily that the renovation of his house in Westchester was complete then she accompanied him to see the house, and saw a "For Sale" sign. Then she asked Ted about it, and he told her that he was soon moving to Chicago.

He told her that he has looked everywhere in New York for the love of his life and has failed, and that maybe she is in Chicago. Lily then told him that there was a locket from Robin that she kept for so many years and told him where she kept it but she also warned Ted not to give that locket to Robin.

SEASON 9

How Your Mother Met Me:

On this 200th episode, The mother recounts how she met Ted and what she’s been up to for the past eight years. This episode explains what the Mother was up to in the years before she met Ted and is recounted in a series of flashbacks that intertwine with what was going on in the gang's lives at the time. The best thing that I found in this episode is when The Mother was getting a breakup with her boyfriend and she check in to The Farhampton Inn and take her ukulele out to the porch of her room overlooking the water and sing an English rendition of La Vie en rose to herself. Ted is revealed to have heard the entire performance having been on his adjacent porch the entire time and is visibly moved. And then Future Ted explain while he has since heard the Mother sing the song many times over, nothing will ever replace how he felt when he heard her for the first time that night.  

Well, now How I Met Your Mothers is finally over. Ted finally finish his story to his kids and he’s also finally find the one, the one from the very first year…

Nice work, Bays, Craig, Fryman. So long, How I Met Your Mother!
