How I Met Your Mother (TV Series) Garbage Island (2011) User Reviews

A Fun Episode

[slightlymad22 · 8/10 · 28 January 2015]

Nazanin Boniadi didn't return as I'd hoped as Nora, but she was mentioned all episode as Robin encouraged Barney to call her, and he denied he was interested despite all his behaviour pointing to the contrary. So I won't give up hope she may be back just yet.

Plot In A Paragraph: Robin tries to force Barney to admit he has feelings for Nora, the girl who made history as his first Valentine's Day date ever. After Marshall sees a documentary about garbage, he becomes obsessed with saving the environment. Meanwhile, Zoe asks Ted to pick up a box of her belongings from her ex-husband, The Captain, and his version of their split, is different from Zoe's.

Any episode that features the brilliant Neil Patrick Harris's character Barney Stinson in the main storyline is always excellent. I could go on and on about the brilliance of this episode, and in particular Neil Patrick Harris but I won't bore you with it.

Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel are brilliant, but I'm still not a fan of Zoe.

Garbage Island (#6.17)

Stories about Marshall and Lily are always good. and this season they are really on the roll with it. With Marshall father's death comes another issue, it bothers Marshall that his dad will never see him as environmental lawyer and he starts trying to save the planet. besides the usual humor we once again have a touching moment of the two in a garbage where Lily shows what a wonderful wife she is supporting Marshal's dreams. And it is funny how it ended and people who he thought got hurt by his environment involvement actually ended up happier as they found each other.

Ted and Zoey story is also funny. We don't see much of her which helps, just a lot of Captain and those are pretty fun moments. And we know that a big conflict between them will happen as future Ted tells it didn't end well at all. I kind of liked the new futuristic holograms from the cell phones, nice!
