HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: “The Burning Beekeeper” – RECAP
Over the years How I Met Your Mother has been able to create a number of fun, gimmicky episodes that take advantage of it’s narrator based storytelling to play around with time and show events out of order and it usually does so with great success. Some of the shows best episodes, such as “Brunch,” [...]
“46 Minutes” of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
I want the Internet to be honest with me; was this week’s How I Met Your Mother funny, or is there something wrong with me? Aside from Barney declaring himself leader of the group (followed by a tweaked title sequence featuring way more Barney) I never so much as chuckled during “46 Minutes.” I was [...]
Tailgating with HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
Welcome to 2012 everybody! I’ve got to say, I was pretty stoked that the first new episode of television I’d be watching this year would be How I Met Your Mother. I find it fitting to start off the New Year with HIMYM for a number of reasons. For one thing, out of all the [...]
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: “Symphony of Illumination” – RECAP
“Symphony of Illumination” was one of those episodes of television that employed a different narrative tactic than usual that at first I found off putting, but by the end of the episode it had such a precise and meaningful purpose that all misgivings I had seemed silly. For the first time ever on How I [...]

Barney and Robin’s brief relapse in “Tick Tick Tick” has been a long time coming, with the set up seeded through out Season 6 and the beginning of the current season.

PERSON OF INTEREST: “Witness” – RECAP
I really feel like Person of Interest caught me with my pants down. After weeks in between mentions of Elias, I assumed he would pop up once in awhile, but really wouldn’t leave his big mark until around episode 10 or 11. But not only was Elias a powerful presence in this week’s “Witness”, it [...]
