Thoughts on “Something Borrowed”
Fair warning: If you don’t like spoilers, don’t read this until you’ve seen the episode.
Speaking of spoilers, I appreciate the emails with previews and clips you guys send in about upcoming episodes, but I don’t watch them until after the show airs. I like the whole show to be fresh. A lot of times they’ll put in all the funny jokes or something that gives the plot away in the previews and I’d just rather watch it all for the first time.
Ok, so this episode is in my all-time top five. I thought the show was a perfect blend of comedy and romantic-tiness (yes, I just made that word up). The wedding was done in perfect HIMYM style. Having just the friends there without a bunch of other characters around allowed them to say exactly what they wanted to say. Not to mention Barney doing the ceremony. Ah how, priceless legendary!
And what is up with the look Ted gave Robin when Lily said the line about her loving Marshall so much because he made her happy? Foreshadowing anyone? I think so.
Lastly I wanted to post this video I had seen a while back that I was reminded about when Marshall freaks out and shaved his head (which I did this weekend by the way!). The video gets good when the bride comes in the room about halfway in.

I missed the episode unfortunately, and the great tivo gods were not on my side. I’ll watch it in innertube or get the season 2 dvd.
