Sorry for the delay in my How I Met Your Review, I didn’t have
time to watch the episode last night and this whole week is shaping up to not
have much time for television watching/reviewing. And if I do have time, they’ll
have to be short recaps like this one.
“Pre-nup” was a slight improvement over last week’s poor
season premiere, but that clearly isn’t saying much. For instance, I actually
had an audible laugh when Robin first got excited by watching herself on
television (clearly a sign that her and Barney are meant for each other), but
then they had that joke go on too long and effectively ran it into the ground.
I wish that the show had taken a little more time
establishing how and when Quinn, Nick, and Victoria became best friends with
the rest of the group instead of assuming we’d just shrug it off and accept it.
Maybe we’ll get rid of Nick in the next episode and Victoria after that and get
back to the norm, but as of right now I feel like they’re really taking
advantage of their audience with the lack of character depth they’re employing
with everyone right now.
In the tag at the end of the episode Ted expresses his enthusiasm
for the German sitcom Klaus shows them by saying how it great the show was at
making the audience laugh as well as making us care about the characters onscreen.
I wish the How I Met Your Mother writers
would take some of their own advice to heart moving forward.
Comments are certainly welcome, whether they are for
agreement, disagreement, or indifference
