How I Met Your Mother Review: "Unfinished"

at .

On last night's How I Met Your Mother, "Unfinished," Barney went to his play book to woo Ted into designing the new Goliath National Bank headquarters, while Lily tried to get Robin to delete Don’s phone number after she drunk dialed him repeatedly (and hilariously).

I didn’t care much for all the Star Wars / Death Star architecture lines. I feel like that joke was made during Family Guy’s "Blue Harvest" episode. Don’t get me wrong; I’m a huge fan of the “galaxy far far away.” The references just seemed forced to me.

All Business

GETTING THE YES: Barney alllllways does.

I did, however, love the Wassup reference Lily made when recounting her dojo ordeal.

Drunk Robin was back and had an axe to grind. She planned to use that axe to kill Don after seeing him on the news stirred up her emotions. Her drunk dials were fantastically dark.

Deep dish Don face pizza and a Bears game, that’s a pretty solid weekend.

Anyone notice how Robin dialed Don’s phone the last time by only hitting one button, though? All I heard was one beep and then some woman on the other end who didn’t speak English. Maybe Don finally smartened up and changed his number.

Lily wore on me a bit with the “Where’s the poop, Robin,” and the karate dojo scenes were shrug and “eh” evoking. Would have much preferred the final scene to be one of Marshal and his band, The Funk, The Whole Funk and Nothing But the Funk in the recording studio or playing some bar mitzvah or law school graduation party.

“I sentence you to a life of funk. Counselor, how do you plead? Funky!”

Also, Lily, I’m pretty sure wearing sneakers into a karate class is a major no-no as well as an unfair advantage.

Barney put his patented moves on Ted in an attempt to get the “yes.” Sticking to the playbook he first ignored Ted, issued the back handed compliments about his hair to lower his self-esteem, then bragged about himself in the form of a complaint.

He capped off the exercise with the intense eye contact while establishing intimacy through physical contact and, ultimately, he got the Yes from Ted.

Barney got the Yes from me as well. I hope everyone goes online to purchase a tie from Warriors in Pink so we all can Suit Up against breast cancer.

Join the cause to find a cure and together, WE RIDE!
