How I Met Your Mother - Season 7 [Spoilers]

Basq · 18-10-2011 11:25PM

First episode in a long time that actually gave me a few chuckles..

.. although Kal Penn sticks out like a sore thumb. How is it that someone who features so prominently in comedic roles just have zero comedic ability? Was far better in 'House' tbh.

Have yet to watch the latest episode, but they could have given Kal Penn a much better character to play alright. Very dull for a great actor, and seeing this was his return to TV from a number of years absence they could of done much better for him. Himself and Neil Patrick Harris in the same sitcom had great potential.

It's a pity that his character is annoying. Decent enough episode though.

FreudianSlippers · 19-10-2011 01:51PM

Most recent episode was pretty dull. Kal Penn is getting on my nerves, can't wait for him to be gone. We find out the sex of the baby and more dates with not the mother. Zzzzzzz

FreudianSlippers · 25-10-2011 01:13PM

Episode 7 is the best of the series thus far. Pretty hilarious where Marshall's dad and Lily's dad are in bed together.

Agreed with this - awful episode and Kal Penn went from looking like he fitted in naturally to an actor who looked like he wasn't comfortable in comedy.

Thankfully you've said this as I've considered not watching anymore - Ted & Robin are annoying the living shít out of my lately and the season's been pretty terrible up until now....will watch tonight hopefully

I liked Robins Flash back in the last ep when she was ten years old being pushed into the forest/jungle from a helicopter with just a knife to survive alone for 3 days by her father lol, her past is what makes her so freakin funny! Hard bitch and none of them really know it haha.

But season 7 has been pretty bad must say, the whole not knowing what sex the baby is, complete filler ep IMHO, season 8 will be the last one i'd say.
New ep tonight anyway.

Antomus Prime · 25-10-2011 01:34PM

Im liking Season 7 in general. Although I hope Victoria is not the mother, I dont like her! And she got pretty tubby over the last few years! I doubt Barney and Robin will end up together. But we'll see....... Also I dont think Kal Penn is right for the role, he just looks completely out of place in the show. And he's not nearly as funny as he has been in past shows and movies.

readyletsgo · 25-10-2011 02:08PM

Is Barney not going to marry Robin? Thats what I've got from the end of last season, when you saw everyone in the scene but Robin, and Lily told Ted that the bride wanted to see him.
The mother, (what I can remember) what we know so far is, he will meet her with a yellow umbrella, she's blond, he scored her housemate, she was in his class(which wasnt HIS class) she's white.. emm...

Robin or Nora

I think they said the bride wants to see Ted so people would think it's Robin but I'm fairly certain it's Nora - nothing to back it up but a hunch.

readyletsgo · 25-10-2011 02:47PM

Except when Robin started the counciling and said she still loved Barney and her friend Nora was in the way basically.

Unless Ted and Nora become extemely close friends over the next 18 or so eps leading up to Barneys wedding lol

Well Ted's the best man I wouldn't think it unusual for the bride to want to speak to the best man

Like I said I think they're alluding to the fact that it could be Robin but I don't think it will be....plus I hope it's Nora because she's hawt and I'd like to see her kept around

I liked this weeks episode a bit more than the previous few - Ted annoys me incredibly but Barney with his "I can turn it around" was brilliant

Minstrel27 · 25-10-2011 05:23PM

I did hope that Robins and Barneys relationships would be over. Sadly not

Quite a boring episode

Compak · 25-10-2011 05:30PM

Tediously, terrible episode this week

Don't think it was as bad as previous episodes tbh but overall, yeah, this season has been fairly flacid imo

D'oh, didnt think of that. prob right and its not Robin.
Anyway, off I go to watch this weeks ep.

Well I just think that they're keeping us in suspense regarding whether it's Robin or Nora - by putting that in (Bride asking to speak to Ted) you'd automatically assume it's Robin but I think they're trying to throw the crowd by doing that

That's just what I think tbh

Also when Victoria told Ted that it was weird for him to be hanging around with Barney & Robin he said things were fine, followed by an image of them all drinking together before saying "But she was right, they weren't fine" I'm not sure whether he said "We'd soon find out" or not (could be my imagination

)

So I think there could be a fallout between Barney & Robin ahead

FreudianSlippers · 08-11-2011 09:19PM

Awwwwwwww snap! It's the kiss I think we've all been waiting for!

Really hope they don't just brush this off now and pretend it didn't happen for a few more episodes!

amacachi · 15-11-2011 01:05PM

Robin's a ****.

D'Agger · 15-11-2011 01:10PM

Haven't watched the last 3 episodes or so

Is it still shít?

Antomus Prime · 15-11-2011 01:11PM

No it's after getting a lot better in the last few episodes, back to the early season quality imo

Such an "Ooooooo" moment.

Can't help but feel bad for Barney, breaking up with Nora for Robin while she decided to stay with Kevin. Full well knowing what Barney was going to do.

Can't wait for the next episode though.

amacachi · 15-11-2011 01:14PM

Especially with how slammin' hot Nora is.

Gotta stop reading spoiler comments when I haven't watched the episode yet!!! lol

starlit · 15-11-2011 06:18PM

So who is barney's bride think we might find out in season 7 episode thursday.

Its either robin or nora...did he pick the right tie!?

don ramo · 15-11-2011 07:30PM

why are they doing this with barney and robin, it was stated earlier in the series that robin never married,

im liking the season so far, but ted doesnt seem to be doing anything and hes supposed to be the one telling the story,

FreudianSlippers · 15-11-2011 07:58PM

Poor Barney. However, I think this is just a red herring leading up to the finale where she marries Barney.

Mega spoiler btw - beyond episode 10:

In an upcoming episode, future Robin will be chatting with her children in the same format that we’ve seen from future Ted.
Robin’s son is described as blonde and her daughter (already cast) is brunette.

Damn, why did I just read that. Last nights episode was good, the Ted and Marshall side story was kinda lame though.

The CCTV footage of them for the 2 minutes was great..

Loved the "It's a sign!" bit.
