Re: How I Met Your Mother -- "Disaster Averted" -- 11/07/11
I really liked this episode until the end. I know that Robin and Barney are going to get together eventually but this is just a rehash of what happened a few seasons ago when they dated the first time. Both times started with a make out session out of nowhere. Instead of having to apologize to Ted now Barney will have to explain it to Norah who will of course dump him and of course he'll end up with Robin... of course. At least this is the beginning of the end of Kal Penn.
Other than that I thought this episode was great. I like when they call out Ted's douchiness. The bear attack scenes were hilarious. And of course the slaps... Always love the slaps. Now we get two more!

The bear jumping out of the shower cracked me up
Loved them making fun of Ted being in the boy scouts

The back-to-back slaps were fantastic. Great episode, but I agree with Goat3001 in that the end ruined it. We've already seen Barney and Robin, and they didn't work together; there's no need to rehash that storyline again.

Loved the episode right up until the end.
Plenty of good moments, but my favorite was when Ted said "Therapisted" and then ran through other options and said "We'll figure it out later.".

the first time the bear appeared it was funny, but repeating it over and over again and again, really?... CBS writers attempt at humor just borders on dumb... a lot - and not just on this show.

Um, the bear was probably the lamest fucking thing this show has ever done.
I thought the double slap was weak too. The build-up just wasn't the same as in previous slaps. It was basically, here's some extra slaps...and... slap, slap. I think I'd rather have kept the ducky tie longer.... wait a minute...didn't Barney allude to having to wear the ducky tie at the wedding? Hmmm....
However I got a good laugh out of Barney saying he needed to reevaluate how he makes life decisions.

Her hand IMMEDIATLY worked its way down to his crotch. I was kinda shocked by this. Even if she was supposedly just going to unzip his pants, it looks like she was copping a feel. Oh my!

The Slap Countdown has reset to 14 days. Looks like we're in for another Slapsgiving.
I laughed through this whole episode. I had no idea where they were going with that cold open, but it sure paid off.

The bear attacks were hilarious (Not like this!!!)--Loved that, the repetition of "So, boogie-boarding..." and the second time in a 2 week period with Alyson Hannigan in the bath! Thumbs up!
