Yeah, it was okay. Anyone else think the mother is going to turn out to be that chick he bumps into briefly in the club?

I think the woman he bumped into may have been a red herring. I could also see her being, say, a friend of the mother or something.

I thought it was her at first but then she didn't seem very special or different from what we saw.

It was a so-so episode. I figured this would happen. A lot of series are going to have just-okay episodes as they race to get back into production.

Yeah, it certainly feels like the strike broke the momentum the show had going for it creatively. Maybe it's a little early to be saying that, but if next weeks doesn't improve, I'll be throwing a big temper tantrum.

No I don't think he ever met her at all. He even said that, the mother told him that she was at the same party.

How?

He probably kept her umbrella in the closet and then she saw it one day and then the whole story came together.

So I don't think it was anyone that he saw that night - or that night's story lied to us,

He didn't really "meet" the woman he bumped into, other than to say "Excuse me" and then walk away.

I mean, there's no reason to have put that in the episode unless it has significance. Although, like I said, it could be a red herring.

Yes I agree and understand what you are saying.

I just thought that unless he didn't recognize or remember that woman, he would have worded that statement differently.

Anyway, No big deal.

Aside from the fact I'm hoping Britney is good (which she probably will be, considering several of the cast members have testified that she is and I believe them), I'm hoping this little bit of stunt casting boosts ratings further.

I hate how this show is on the bubble every freaking season.

My favourite episode of the season. Britney was actually quite endearing, and i loved the 2 minute date and Britneys last line.

I don't think she was great or anything, but I thought she did a good job. She seemed nervous in the beginning but later it seemed to become more natural to her. I liked the episode, the two minute date was sweet. This was only like my second time of ever seeing a HIMYM episode.

Well, I loved the episode. Sarah Chalke's character was really lovely, I kind of wish she was sticking around for more than one episode. She didn't display many of the comedic chops I've seen her show on random episodes of Scrubs but that wasn't really the point of the character.

And, yes, I liked Britney! Not a spectacular performance considering how little she had to do, but she was actually fairly funny. Maybe there's hope for her yet.

You should keep watching! It's such an endearing show, really. And it needs all the viewers it can get.

Could Sarah be the Mother? She did say she was only out one lousy night for St. Patty's Day and she would call if she ever changed her mind about dating?

And Ted's line, that is how you change a no into a yes.

Britney was OK. She wasn't a patch on her Will and Grace performance, but she did a decent job, and considering the last year of her life decent is a good sign right now. That she actually turned up to a set and filmed when they wanted her to and didnt come off a complete disaster is good news.

That said, She did look quite puffy and bloated throughout, but i guess her appearance is really the last thing that matters until she is well on the road to recovery. This comeback is going to take time, but this is a great first step for her.

I also appreciate that shes calmed the fuck down. You never see her out and about all the offending places in Hollywood Blvd any more. I just hope that she moves back to Louisana now and keeps the work up after the conservership is lifted.

Good ep, still not back up to par with the pre-strike run, but getting better. I actually found Britney being in it a little distracting. I kept dreading she'd be awful or do something to make me cringe everytime she came on screen. That said, Sarah Chalke was awesome, and the two-minute date scene was great. I just wish Marshall, Robin, et al had played a larger role in the whole ep.

If you want to see the 2 minute date

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQs5B_VMuDg

Notice how cute they are holding hands.

and I still think Sarah will be the Mother. The writers also are in a great position, first they can make sure the women is well liked before they name her. and it could be another reason why she took this small role, for the bigger role coming up.

That 2 minute date was the cutest thing I have ever seen on tv. This show rocks.

Last night got 10.62 million viewers and a 4.5 in the demo, which is probably the highest the show has seen since the beginning of the first season. Very good news.

It also had the highest ratings for any show on TV last night in adults 18-34.

That 2 minute date was so lame...it's one of those cutesy, unrealistic, only in the movies type of things that totally takes you out of the show as a result of being improbable.

Spears was fine and actually more entertaining than Chalke's character.
