I can't remember the last time I saw Katie Holmes on tv or in a movie (Batman Begins, maybe?)... either way she's still smoking hot. Dear Gif Gods, I could go for a gif or her shaking her butt to Barenaked Ladies.

Liked the episode but I though Lily becoming a complete moron was a bit much

Episode was okay. This season has seemed so flat to me. I'll watch until its off the air, but its been pretty boring. Ted really needs to meet the Mother already.

Rocky IV Barney beating up Mountie Barney was pretty funny.

If somebody gave me a nice suburban house, free and clear, I'm moving in the next day.

And Katie Holmes is so hot, my loins actually ached.

The Barney and Canada stuff was pretty good


I thought this was a pretty funny tweet from Sepinwall tonight.

End of one of my HIMYM s1 reviews: "If they can do episodes like this every week, I won't care if we don't meet the mom until season three."

If that was anyone else besides Katie Holmes playing the pumpkin, Ted realizes that they both were trying to force it to work, and they start over and date for a season.

I thought it was a great homage to Evil Superman vs Clark Kent in Superman 3.

They obviously overdid it for comedic purposes, but I believe 100% in pregnancy brain. My wife had it with both of our kids...

Been a while since I've seen the Rockys, but I thought he was Apollo Creed.

YES!!!!!!

Most of the laughs from this episode came from Barney/Robin. The end with Barney fighting himself was hysterical!

Yep. My wife would agree - she used to be the brains in the relationship. Definitely took a turn during pregnancy.

Loved the Barney/Canada stuff, and really loved how shirtless Barney still had the ducky tie tied around his arm.

Apollo Creed fights Drago in exhibition in Rocky IV and comes out dancing to "Living in Amerca" just like Barney did. So Barney WAS Apollo Creed, but it WAS Rocky IV.
