Episode Discussion S09E07 - "No Questions Asked" (Here be spoilers!)

Not according to bazooka joe

I thought that was Aldous Snow, singer/song writer of the hit single "African Child."

Present.

Mama likes it dirty

ted will trip on in it and hurt his hand, thats why he has those bandages.

It was left there by some kid Lily yelled at while trying to talk on the phone in an earlier episode. Interesting that it's still there.

No idea, but it's been the most interesting thing this season so far.

EVERY.

SINGLE.

EPISODE.

I'm not even all that picky, frankly! I really am not! I don't generally notice or get annoyed by a rehashed formula if they at least wait half a season to do it again!

But seriously we're talking several consecutive episodes here.

Meanwhile we could be having say.. a minor story featuring what the mother is up to.

Yeah this whole thing where they say something violent or inappropriate and go "AWWWWWW" together is just getting repetitive and boring.

It sucks from a story perspective, and it's completely ridiculous in-universe.

How fucking weird would it be to learn a deep and significant lesson about your relationship every other hour?

Mission for SHIELD gone sideways.

No questions.

Not to mention, each episode takes place over a few hours. So they keep having these conversations EVERY FEW HOURS.

It feels like they had a lot of material written, THEN they decided to frame it all around a 72-hour span of the wedding weekend.

He did fuck Sarah Marshall...

I'm just hoping they're doing it on purpose so that they can eventually turn it around and have the gang notice how it's all they've been doing.

that's exactly the same bullshit like the "I saw you and Robin at the carousel"

I was just saying to my wife this season has been a big let down. We watch reruns almost every night on Netflix and watching this season has just been painful. The whole idea of dragging out this weekend over the whole season was just dumb. So now, we have story arcs like Marshall not telling Lily about the job and them being mad going over multiple episodes when it should just be a one episode issue. Ted's arc has just been painful so far... it's like the writer's said, "Well, we know he ends up with the mother so what do we do with him the rest of the season?"

At least the next episode will be Saturday morning judging by the previews. Which means Marshall will be considerably closer to Long Island.

She can afford it. The captain is paying her so much mo-......oh God damn it Marshall

They could of built tension between Ted and the mother from the first episode. They could of met, and started their relationship slowly; becoming friends who bump into each other at the hotel every now and then, and soon realizing their love. Instead, a fucking nine season series about how a husband meets his wife is culminating in shit filler episodes that are forgettable and unfunny.

GO FUCK YOURSELF BRET!

We needed more of him.

I'm from New Zealand and seeing him on HIMYM was so confusing! I actually had to go and check the internet to confirm it was him

Flanderisation all the way !

Twice arrested.

The part where Robin in spandex was being chased was completely cringeworthy. That is something I would have written as a 15 year old and thought it was hilarious

Just lazy writing. He could've easily said he sent a text meant for another girl, and needed her phone to delete the message. No questions asked.

But Robin in that white dress though.

I'm actually pretty disappointed that wasn't what it was. I was completely expecting the first Halloween after the Mother gets introduced, maybe the start of a new tradition even. I'm going to be really pissed if the Thanksgiving episode doesn't include her since there's a very established tradition of going to Lily's house on Thanksgiving, and since the Thanksgiving after the wedding should include her anyway unless Ted "conveniently" leaves her at home. Maybe even include her in a Thanksgiving dinner photo and bring back the storyline about how Lily doesn't like Ted including "random bimbos" in their photos because they won't last. There's a lot they can do this season and it's really begin to irritate me that they're squandering good potential on really bad gimmicky episodes like this one.

When she and Marshall get their slanted apartment, he tells her a ghost lives there and she believes him.

Even though it's a sitcom, there should be some basis of reality. It's not even funny. Disappointing episode. Robin looks good at least.

Thank god someone else pointed this out. It was so stupid. Sure, Ted caught in a mail bin was kind of funny. But keep it at that. Trying to keep on outdoing themselves led to unrealistic "Family Guy" style humor. This show should be more mature than that.

Yes it's a sitcom, and no it shouldn't be 100% realistic. But good god that ninja scene was stupid

That makes us two... hundred people. Maybe a few more.

Next epsiode. Milioti said so.

Hans Gruber. Charming international bandit. In the end, he dies hard. He's the title character.
