Right on the money again this week :up:

Lily's inability to throw accurately :lol:

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

This was a great episode, again. This season has been right on the mark. :up:

I'm really glad that the womanizer jokes aren't Barneys only thing anymore. All the stuff with him finding his dad this season has been both hilarious and touching.

I loved all the "gaps"... Couldn't stop laughing at Robins rant about how there is no North Pole. :lol:

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Good episode.

Loved the 2 versions of what of Barney's meeting at the bar with his dad:lol:

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

"You think John Kennedy and Jack Kennedy were the same person!"

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Lily tossing the keys into the bushes was hysterical. "I'm standing, literally, eleven inches from you." :lol:

Not a fan of the ending though. So Barney decides Ted should have the basketball goal because every kid should have one. Never mind the little brother he just stole it from. That was pretty weak, even for Barney.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Yeah I found that pretty weird too, although I'm sure crazy John Lithgow could easily replace it for JJ.

(what's a basketball GOAL? ;))

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Marshall's delivery when he's introducing his new pet possum was hilarious.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Great episode. Just the right mixture of humor and touching moments.

Marshall testing the rest of them was hilarious. Agree with CharlieK, the voice he used when introducing the possum was great. I loved his, "The Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars Movie."

:lol: Robin thinking the North Pole was made-up and Lily's awful aim. Ted's pronunciation of chameleon was pretty funny too; especially when his class shook their heads in unison.

I don't think Barney taking the basketball hoop was weird; he felt he was owed something and was acting out of frustration since he couldn't have the memories. John Lithgow actually looks like he could be his dad too, so I thought that was some good casting. The two different versions of what happened was a nice touch, and hopefully they'll bring Lithgow back for a few episodes and have Barney and his dad get to know one another better.

Oh, and nice call back with the Intervention Banner.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Yeah, another solid episode this week. Both funny and touching :up:

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Taking it made sense, it was his turnaround at the end that didn't mesh. If he took it just to take it, that's makes sense, like you said. It's the whole, "here Ted your imaginary kids from a yet to exist wife should have this instead of the kid I stole it from who can actually use it right now."

I really loved Barney's meltdown over his dad being an ordinary guy for his new kid but couldn't be an ordinary dad for him. Very touching.


I don't get it.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Great episode. Both plot lines were great and Lithgow was awesome. Hope they bring him back some more. :)

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Most people call it a basketball hoop, not a basketball goal.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Lithgow is a great character actor. I loved how he was totally believable in both scenarios. :lol:

The best part for me was also Marshall's praise for TPM.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Not around here. :P

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Agreed. I thought it was fucking creepy.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Wondering if Barney's step-sister might be Ted's future wife?
- She's in college
- looks like she lives away from home (Bilson's roomie?)
- family lives 10 minutes away from Ted's house.

Edit: If it turns out so, wonder if there will be a call-back to this ep - "Isn't that our basketball hoop?"

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

If the wedding is indeed Barney's, that would be a good place for Ted to meet her.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Great episode.

And yeah, it would be great if it's Barney's step sister.

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Goaltending.

(I'd call it a net or hoop...but just saying)

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Ted's revenge for this?

:lol:

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Then that would make "Uncle" Barney "Uncle Barney."

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

Russian version. :lol:

Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Legendaddy" -- 03/21/11
 

It's in Russian but I already like their Ted better.
