HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: “No Pressure” – RECAP
When I started watching “No Pressure” I was very much aware it could turn into a giant disaster. It was dealing with such a touchy subject (Ted revealing he loves Robin) that if it wasn’t handled properly it could have ruined the flow of the season. Thankfully, How I Met Your Mother stuck the landing [...]
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: “The Drunk Train” – RECAP
After last week’s major disappointment, How I Met Your Mother had nowhere to go but up. “The Drunk Train” wasn’t a huge escalation in quality, but when compared to “The Burning Beekeeper” the difference is staggering. It follows a typical sitcom format, giving it a simplicity that allows it to focus on the stories it [...]
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,” [...]
CHUCK Finale: “Chuck Versus Sarah” / “Chuck Versus the Goodbye” – RECAP
It’s hard to write about the Chuck series finale without getting emotional. It’s been five years with these characters and to have everything come to an end, whether it’s satisfying or not, is a hard thing to accept. As I type these words, I’m still not 100% percent convinced it’s all over, not because I [...]
CHUCK: “Chuck Versus the Bullet Train” – RECAP
I had a bit of weird feeling regarding “Chuck Versus the Bullet Train.” For the first time ever, I experienced an episode of TV that had two pretty annoying plot points that ended up fixing themselves in pretty great ways. That doesn’t happen too often. Usually when a series makes a mistake in the story, [...]
“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 [...]
CHUCK: “Chuck Versus Bo” Near Perfect
The last couple of weeks have gotten me really pumped for the final episodes of Chuck. There were a few rough patched this season, but I feel like the series has found its rhythm again and turned out one of the best hours of the season with “Chuck Versus Bo.” This was the episode that, [...]
CHUCK: “Chuck Versus the Kept Man” – RECAP
Compared to last week’s utterly insulting hour of Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Kept Man” felt like a breath of fresh air. Last week tried very hard to create a sense of doom and drama, but it never really clicked for me. “Kept Man” was the polar opposite, downplaying the drama and upping the comedy, making [...]
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 [...]
Chuck Versus The Baby to Bring in New Year
It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m sitting here preparing myself mentally to talk about this week’s Chuck. Don’t worry; this isn’t how I plan to spend my entire night. I’ll keep this review short. The quick version of this review is as follows: I have very mixed feelings about “Chuck Versus the Baby”. Parts of [...]
