High Level Thoughts on Last Night's HIMYM and GG

How I Met Your Mother:

  • Barney taking a class on Robin from Ted = hilarious. Ted teaching a class on his ex-girlfriend = a little creepy, but also hilarious.
  • Three things that distract Robin = Canucks, Gun Cleaning, and Emperor Penguins = really hilarious
  • In general, much better episode than last week, but mostly because the A-plot was stronger and more believable.
Gossip Girl:
  • This will be no surprise: Tyra Banks is incapable of acting, unless acting requires her to act like herself. "You know no one supports me. Everyone is against me." Bitch please.
  • Vanessa seemed less annoying. This could be for one of three reasons: (1) She had no screen time, (2) She didn't have any coffee, or (3) Hilary Duff is significantly more annoying, therefore making Vanessa seem less annoying by comparison.
  • Dan is not a real person: movie star is a plus at 18, not a minus. You're not looking to settle down, dude. Man up.
  • Serena, a publicist? She is a fame whore, so I can see how that might work.
  • Jenny not wanting to be Queen is kind of the like the Hulk, we won't like him when he's angry, and we won't like her when she makes her I-love-being-in-power face.
  • Blair, just transfer to Columbia, please. If Daddy can afford a chateau in France, he can buy your way into an Ivy. Seriously.
  • Lily, it's about time you got back. Rufus was getting creepy without you.
  • Good episode, but next week will be better because GEORGINA IS COMING BACK. WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
  • Also, to those of you that may have read the story today that the show's creators are planning a threesome for sweeps, just know that I'm reserving judgment until I find out which characters are involved. The boobs, or not the boobs, that is the question.
