Aldrin Justice

After my Comcast debacle, I have finally had a chance to watch the episode titled “Aldrin Justice.”
In this episode, we continue with Lilly’s search for settling back into life in New York. Last time she was looking for a place to stay, now she’s looking for a job. It just so happens that Ted’s firm has an opening as the office assistant (after Ted humiliated the last one), and Lilly is up for the challenge. While working for Ted’s firm, we learn how Lilly likes to administer justice.
While all of that is going on, Barney is hunting the ever allusive cougar. What is a cougar you might ask. As Barney explains it a cougar is “An older woman, usually in her 40’s or 50’s, single and on the prowl for a younger man.” This cougar just happens to be Marshall’s professor and Barney has agreed to “relieve her stress” so that she won’t be as ornery when grading Marshall’s assignments. Only Barney’s skills might not be as good as he would lead us to believe.
As always, you can head over to TVSquad for the full write up including spoilers.
Some quick info:
- Bryan Cranson (from Malcom in the Middle), we learn is Ted’s boss (Mr. Druthers). He does a really good job in this episode of selling his character, and if you are like me you really grow to hate him by the end.
- Jane Seymor (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) plays Marshall’s Professor. And just like she was in Wedding Crashers, she looks good.
Some quick opinions:
- The scene where Lilly, Robin, and Ted are at the bar and the sexual innuendos are going back and forth was my favorite scene.
- Who has a baseball signed by the same person 3 times?
Finally, this week’s best one-liners:
- “I have never need beer more than I do now” - Marshall
- “Marshall, I’ve thought it over and I accept your challenge. Tomorrow the cougar hunt begins” - Barney
- “When somebody opens up a container with an entire chicken in it. It is ok to assume they made lunch for everyone.” - Ted
- “I prefer to call them *justice* kakis” - Lilly
- “Do you not see the POWERBAR in my hand!?” - Barney
- “To Ted. The youngest person to ever design a building over 70 stories. Probably.” - Robin
So what did you think? What are your favorite lines? And who has a baseball signed by the same guy three times?

[...] While this is pretty big news, and I can’t wait to see how they tie it in, the article reveals something else I wasn’t aware of. Ted’s Boss, Druthers (played by Bryan Cranson), is slated for further apperances. I think I’m more excited about this because one of the things that makes HIMYM so great is the emotional attachment that a viewer can develop for the characters. As you remember, in his last appearance he made quite the impression with me. [...]
