To me, this episode was not outstanding, nothing great, just good enough. Everything is working perfectly, then, something happens, a very little thing which takes the show off kilter.
This is what happened with last episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’. Episode was the funny enough and there were some moments that were great but still it was not quite like the usual rib tickling stuff I am so used to.. Watch this episode for free here.
James Van Der Beek, though not a native Canadian, can certainly fake and exaggerate the accent like a pro. Why Robin finds him so irresistible after so many years; the fact was a little odd at first. But I found it one of the most realistic reactions on TV ever, when it was explained.
Lily’s friend Michelle was incredibly funny. Robin’s musical past comes to the fore when the whole group learns about someone named Simon. Ted tries to spend more time with Stella. Meanwhile, Barney is searching for more Robin Sparkles memorabilia.

Following are the quotes which I found the best from episode:
Robin: Hey, Simon!
Simon: Ohh, look at you! You got old.
Robin: Yeah. You look great! You got hotter, like that’s possible! So…

Barney: You’re the most awesome person I’ve ever known. Well, second most awesome.
Robin: Right, of course the first being you.
Barney: No, no. The first is this guy who lives in a place called the mirror. What up?
Marshall: So is he the guy who, how shall I say this like a gentleman…Robin, did he take your “maple leaf”?
Robin: No, it wasn’t like that.
I hope you’ve not missed this episode. Nay! I can’t. Well, all How I Met your mother episodes are available online.
