Welcome back to a new season of HIMYM. Below are some quick thoughts on the season 5 premiere, which I am happy to say is just as funny as ever!
- Ted starts his new career as a college professor, but his first day does not go quite as he planned. Of ,he over-analyzes what type of professor he wants to be [including some bad advice from Barney]; he varies between the stern teacher that commands respect with wanting to be the cool, hip teacher you want to hang out with. Only later does he realize that it doesn't matter since he is in the wrong classroom.
- Barney and Robin are still together as friends [with benefits], until Lily finds out about them and starts dreaming up future double dates. Both Barney and Robin are hilarious as the new couple that both hate being in relationships. In fact, they continue to refuse to admit it until Lily locks them in the bedroom and refuses to let them out until they have "the talk" while Marshall literally cracks the whip.
- My favorite scene involved a flashback to a tuxedo-clad Barney lecturing Ted about the rules for how to keep women from becoming your girlfriend to Gremlins.
1. Never get them wet - or, don't let them take a shower at your place.
2. Keep them away from sunlight - i.e., don't ever see them during the day
3. Never feed them after midnight - meaning, she doesn't sleep over, and you don't have breakfast with her. EVER [And brunch is NOT cool, Ted!]
Barney is horrified to realize that he has broken all 3 rules with Robin. Marshall is just mad that they never invite him to tuxedo night.
- Barney and Robin are sick of being locked up in the bedroom and come up with a plan to utilize their best skills to get out of the room...lie about it. They fake being a couple to get out of the room and leave to get something to eat. Ted realizes that they lied to them, but Lily is alwasys one step ahead as she reminds Ted that they don't realize yet that they actually aren't lying...
My Rating: 7.5/10
