Doppelgangers: Season 5 Finale Episode 24
May 24, 2010
Do you ever read my blog!?! It’s gotten a lot better! ~Barney
I get really excite when I actually see the Awesomeness Poster on HIMYM. Past that, I liked the Season 5 finale, more on that soon.

Moments of Awesomeness
- Barney. While has has seemed to take a backseat in recent episodes there was no shortage of humor from him tonight. Doppelganger,
- Loved that there were no shortage of jokes at the expense of Blonde Ted… check out my favorites below. Which leads me to…
- Blonde Ted. Love the way they played Ted into getting it done. Sure he looked ridiculous at first but like Marshall, Barney & Lily…I started to like it too. Maybe he was in fact, pulling this off.
- Don… well, the fact that he is gone. The fact that he took the job confirmed his jerkness for me.
- The Ted/Robin fake out… at one point you might have almost seen a nasty tweet from bawesomeinstead. I though they were going to go down that road AGAIN! I mean, come on, why keep teasing that when you’ve told us she is obviously not the mother…k I digress, because there were just having a bit of fun with us. Those crafty devils.
- The Awesomeness Poster. Not just that, finally a view of Barney’s office this season! If you haven’t noticed I’ve got a thing for Barney’s office posters. I’ve made conformity, perfection, awesomeness, a suit-up poster… And I’ve got some more in the works. It’s an obsession I know. Sorry for the plug, it’s what pays for the site.
- Monty and Moo-Moo’s commentary on drug use. Fun Fact…highest rated episode of Monty & Moo-Moo ever.
- I wonder if that was Ranjit’s cab. Where is Ranjit anyhow…or Carl, or Wendy? Come on.
Legendary Lines
Barney: Hey, I’m planning a white wedding. Tell me Billy Idol, is it a nice day for that?
Barney: Stay out of this, Brigette Nielsen and Dolph Lundgren from Rocky IV
Marshall: Why is Ellen DeGeneres in our bedroom?
Marshall: Chicks don’t wanna bang cab drivers?
Barney: Chicks DO NOT wanna bang cab drivers!
Robin: This just in… is what Marshall Eriksen is about to say to his wife as he attempts to impregnate her.
Ted: Let’s just say there were a few senior citizens who pretended to drown on my watch…and sadly one who did.
Don: Before I met you I had given up on everything. Relationships, career…pants.
The Wrap-Up
So I’m not wild that Robin story line seemed familiar. Then again, maybe it’s just foreshadowing that eventually, things will change. While I’m happy to see Don go, I hated it that Robin put here self out there and committed to Don and then it just ended up biting her in the ass. And OMG, I’m so glad they didn’t take the other rode that was worn out and send us down yet another Ted & Robin road but instead chose to screw with us. Nice.
I love Lily & Marshall. Not so wild about the possibility of a baby, but I’m sure there are some funny stories associated with that. I mean the scenes we already got were excellent. For the record, “put a baby in my belly” seems like a horrible thing to say. Who’s with me?
While we are no closer to the mother, not even in a toying way this episode, I feel that Ted’s reminder of how everyone has changed is important. Sure some people just want the secrets, but ask yourself this…do you really care about these characters? I do, so the season finale for me was excellent. Sure it’s not the same people as in Season 1 or 2, but everything changes and I’m sticking around to see what develops.
Don’t run off, I’ve got lots of great summer plans until we get a new episode. So have you ever seen you doppelganger? Vote in our poll. But what I really want to know is what did YOU think of the HIMYM season 5 finale?

I have two doppelgangers!
One is a friend’s tennis teacher in Aranjuez (Madrid, SPA). So I don’t know him. But I have another, and is a soccer player in my city team: Athletic. I have some photos with him and people think that we are brothers

I think the line “put a baby in my belly” was funny. It reminded me of when Lily got drunk and she was at Marshall’s office. She said the exact same thing there and then

I wish. They were the best thing for each other. If they could learn to take care of themselves together. My least favorite episode ever was when they broke up.

am i the only one who roots for robin and don? i thought their chemistry is great and i’m a little sad they separated… i almost hoped he didn’t take the job… he was a jerk at first, but he kind of getting better over time… anyway, this final episode is better than i expected but this season as a whole is a disappointment… seeing how the season started where ted met his feature wife at the faculty, and lead to almost nothing throughout the season…

i think his character was a bit boring. I never could a seen him becoming a member of “the gang”. and since it is at least one more season to go, robin beeing only with him the next (the last..?) season would kind of ruin it a little bit… thats what i think, but hey

Somewhere between the story that Ted tells about him trying to teach Barney how to drive (told in the “Arrivederci, Fiero”-episode) and story Barney tells in the “The Bracket”-episode when he describes how i run of with a girls car. That is if we take for granted that Barney is telling the truth in that story. If not, the next time we see Barney driving a car is in the “As Fast As She Can”-episode where he tries to get away with speeding by seducing a cop.
