Five Drinks Into TV: How I Met Your Mother Final Season Episode 6 "Knight Vision"

Tom's Take:



Another pretty forgettable episode.  The whole episode was built on an Indiana Jones reference, which I didn't find all that funny. I did enjoy some of Ted with the sad girl, and Robin and Barney, but a lot of it fell flat.



Some things that made me laugh in this episode:

The reversal of Marshall and Lily's relationship with Barney and Robin.
The first couple "Knight" jokes.
The reverend dying.

Since there are eighteen episodes left, let's go over the top 18 relationships in How I Met Your Mother.

1. Marshall and Lily
2. Barney and Robin
3. Ted and Victoria (In Season One before the brought her back later and screwed it up.)
4. Ted and Robin (yes it was nice.)
5. Ted and Stella
6. Barney and Lily's secret sexual tension
7. Barney and Quinn (it was an interesting red herring, I guess)
8. Robin and Don
9. Barney and Nora
10. Ted and Amy (who got him to get a tattoo)
11. Barney and Penelope (from Season 1 finale. That would have been a fun couple)
12.  Robin and Kevin
13. Ted and Zoey
14. Ted and Blah Blah
15. Ted and Coat Check Girl
16. Lily and Scooter
17. Barney and Abby (Britney Spears)
18. Barney as "Ted Mosby Architect" and the girl he hooked up with in that episode.

Episode MVP: Uh...Ted I guess.

Rating: 6 out of 10

Forgettable.
