Person of Interest Season 3 Episode 10: Devil's Share


A grief stricken Reese hunts down Officer Simmons for killing his friend Joss Carter. Reese himself was shot and is badly injured. On the Manhunt as well, Shaw is also trying to track Simmons by herself. Worried about Reese who is badly injured and Shaw going on a savage manhunt as well, Finch talks to Fusco for help in tracking down both Reese and Shaw before they end up hurting more people and Reese ending up dead.

Simmons plans to leave the country using forged papers. Reese tracks down the forgers but was unable to get the location of Simmons. Shaw tracks down one of the associate of the people that Reese just attacked but was unable to get any information.


Finch was left with no choice but to ask the help of Root to find Reese. Reese was going after Alonzo Quinn to find out about Simmons’ exit strategy. He raided a building full of U.S. Marshall agents and was able to find Quinn. At first Quinn was reluctant to help Reese but after learning that Reese plans to kill him whether he divulge Simmons’ location or not he eventually gave him the location where Simmons could be found. Reese was about to kill Quinn and despite Finch’s statement he went on and pulled the trigger. Fortunately for Quinn, Reese is out of Bullets.



Finch, Shaw and Root took Reese back to Finch’s hideout and attended to his wounds while Fusco stayed behind for the FBI to arrive to turn over Quinn. Fusco learns of the Simmons’ location and takes him down. He surrendered Simmons to the Police and then he was treated for his wounds.

Elias is waiting in Simmons’ hospital room waiting for him to wake up. Elias explained that he has a debt to repay to Carter. Elias has offered several time to kill Simmons but Carter would not allow it. Elias then watch as his associate kill Simmons.

Root is back in the Library. Finch is still skeptical and does not trust Root. Root told him that they would face a bigger problem and that she prefers that they work together when it finally comes.

This is a very emotional episode. Even Shaw who is reluctant to let her feeling cloud her decision is full of anger and was as out of control as Reese. Kudos to Jim Caviezel. He played his role masterfully. The episode really gave the death of Joss Carter meaning. The question now is would Reese still be the same calm badass as he usually was. Or would he be filled with hate now that Carter is gone. Carter was his moral compass in a way. Would he be more like Shaw now?

What is this problem that Root keeps on talking about? Now that HR is gone, the only major players now are Elias and the Russians. Would the government now give them problems or would the organization who wanted to claim the machine in the previous season be a bigger threat?
What are your thoughts on Devil’s Share?

Person of Interest Season 3 Episode 9: The Crossing



In the previous episode, Joss and Reese abducted Quinn and was taking him to the FBI. Problem is Reese’s picture was captured and HR has sent it out to all of its members and all the gangs in New York.  With all the gangs and HR closing in, they had great difficulty in reaching the FBIs.

Fusco and Shaw were helping them in sidelines. Unfortunately Fusco was captured by Simmons along with the key to safety deposit box that Carter entrusted to him. Simmons threatened to kill Fusco’s son if he did not give the location of the box. Fortunately Shaw was able to get to Fusco’s son on time. Fusco then got an opportunity to escape and was able to kill his capture.



Carter and Reese were just a few blocks away from the FBI building when a gang saw them. They had to take refuge in a City Morgue. Trapped and were outnumbered by HRs men, Reese plans to sacrificed himself to save Carter. Fortunately Reese was able to neutralize all the threats but was captured by the Police.



Carter was then made detective and released Reese from Police Custody. Outside the precinct, Finch arrived to fetch Reese. The phone rings but Finch was reluctant to answer it. Then Simmons appears and shoots Reese and Carter. Both were badly shot but Carter’s injuries were fatal.



This is a game changer for the show. Carter was the moral compass of Reese. He does listen to Finch but listens more to Carter. Reese has stated that he wanted to end his life but Carter was able to save him from himself. Now that Carter is gone and Quinn is in custody, a power shift among the Crime organization in New York would definitely happen.

The death of Carter is a shock to the show’s fan. It’s great to know that they still have stories that would still shock their viewers. What are your thoughts on “The crossing”?

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 8: Too far gone

The midseason finale of the Walking dead is what fans are expecting. The episode was shocking and pretty disturbing.
In the last episode, Brian or the Governor is pointing a gun at Michonne and Hershel. We all thought he would shoot them but had other things in mind. Instead he captured them with the intention of using them as bargaining chip in exchange for the Prison. The Governor rallies up his people and tells them they could take the prisons if they would want it. He explained his plan using his captives in exchange for the prison. The governor was calm even for him when he was talking to Hershel and Michonne.
The Governor used the tank to fire a shot at prison as a doorbell to grab Rick and the group’s attention. Rick was reluctant to conduct the negotiations on behalf of his group. Rick tried convincing the Governor and the group that they could live together and for a moment I thought the governor would cease his siege and consider Rick’s term. But instead He used Michonne’s Katana to severe Hershel’s head. All hell broke lost and the fighting began.
Lilly and Meghan stayed in camp to avoid the fighting. Meghan was playing with Mud and even made a peanut butter sandwich for Brian. As she was playing, she dug up a sign which says Flash Flood prone area. A zombie literally rose up from the group and bit Meghan. Lilly brought the corpse of Meghan in the Prison. Brian just finished decapitating Hershel’s body when Lilly saw him. Brian took her body and put a bullet in her head. Brian then ordered his group to breach the prison and kill everyone.
They were successful with the breach and Rick’s group was fighting the Governor’s troops and the biters who entered the Prison. Tyreese was pinned down and was being shot at. He was surprisingly saved by Lizzie and Mika. The two kids who Carol taught survival skills.
Rick and the governor were fighting one on one. The governor got the upper hand and was about to strangle Rick to death when a Michonne stab him in the chest and left him to die. Lilly eventually came to Governor and pointed a gun at him. A shot was heard but that doesn’t mean that the governor is dead.
Eventually they were able to kill most of the governor’s men but had to give up the prison. Daryl used a grenade to disable the tank.  Later Mitch was pleading for his life as Daryl was pointing his crossbow at him. Daryl shot him anyway. After the commotion, Rick searches for Carl and Judith. Carl was safe but they found Judith’s crib filled with blood. Rick was devastated but it hit Carl harder. They left the prison immediately.
There were so many shocking events for midseason finale that I don’t know where to begin. Let’s start with Hershel. It’s a pity that he had to die after surviving the outbreak in the prison. Hershel is essential to the group as they are in grave need for a doctor. In the earlier episode Dr. Caleb Subramanian, the only real doctor in the group died because of the outbreak. Hershel’s importance is not only for his medical skills but he is among the few people that Rick listen’s to.
Meghan’s death was somehow expected. For some reason I didn’t think the writers would reward the governor what he truly wants for all the sins that he committed. Nevertheless her death comes as a surprise as well. Another surprising moment in the episode is how the Governor easily shot Meghan in front of her mother Lilly. Lizzie and Mika taking up guns is another surprise. We have seen Carol taught these kids how to survive but it was surprising how easily Lizzie pulled the trigger and killed Alisha and her companion.
I somehow expected Judith’s death. Based on Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel, she died and became a biter as well. I am glad they didn’t make a zombie version of Judith. That would be really disturbing.  Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) show tremendous talent in showing his grief after learning about Judith. But we have to give credit to Chandler Riggs (Carl) for his acting as well. He keeps getting better on what he is doing.
We have to wait and see what happens next and two months of waiting is way too long. Rick and the group are now on the run again. To make things worse they have been separated from each other. We saw how Rick got broken when his wife Lori died in the previous season. Will he go the same path again or would he become strong for Carl. Carl already broken and has lost some part of his humanity might be headed the same path as his father did.
Is Judith really dead or it is just a way for the writers to keep us guessing? Same thing goes with the governor. The shot could have been from someone else. What will happen to Lilly and Tara? Is that the end of the road for them? This season has been great so far and much better than the last season. The walking dead would return on Feb 9, 2014. What do you think of Too Far gone?

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 11: Bedtime Stories



Marshall and Marvin have taken the bus after dropping off Daphne in the last episode. Marshall has to rhymes while telling the story in order to make Marvin sleep. He first tells the the story Ted while he was still a professor. A new physics teacher, Lisa, introduced herself and was asking Ted pointers on how to teach. She invited him to dinner which Ted initially thought was a date. Lisa was giving mixed signal which confused Ted. They then started thanking about a New York Yankee Player that Lisa dated. She said that she dated Derek Jeter, but when she showed Ted his photo, it is revealed that Barney was pretending to be a Yankee player.



The next story involve Robin. After breaking up with one of her exes, Robin was depressed and was eating sweets in one of the bakery in New York. She  ran into one of her exes Simon Tremblay (James Van Deer Beek). He has put his act together and seems to be successful. He told Robin that e is getting married to Louise Marsh (the girl why Simon broke up with Robin). Robin got angry and stole Simon's wedding cake. Ted learned what Robin did and called Lily for help. By the time Lily arrived half the cake was already eaten. Instead of Lily telling her that what she did was wrong, she encourages her to finish eating the whole cake. Robin finished the cake and washed it down with beer.



The next story inolves Barney. Apparently Barney is part of a high Council of Players. According to some of the council members, Barney broke their agreement and hooked up with a girl who resides out of his territory. The council demanded Lily and Robin as payment for his actions. Barney agreed and had everyone drink champagne. Barney poisoned the drink and killed everyone.



Before the episode ended, the bus got a flat tire. While waiting Marshall and the other passengers watched a fireworks display. Future Ted said that the fireworks would Marvin's first memory. Marshall was told that the Farhampton Inn is just 5 miles away. Marshall believes that he could walk to the Inn. Future Ted stated that Marshall's decision would be a big mistake.

The episode was funny but it seems like a filler episode. With a few episodes left in the series, I wonder if it would be enough to give How I met your mother a proper ending. I have a question though. While Marshall was with Daphne, the Rhyming bedtime story was not an issue. In fact it never came up. I hope the next episode would feature more of the present day events rather than flashback

What are your thoughts on Bedtime Stories?

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 7: Dead Weight


In the last episode, Brian (a.k.a the governor) is running for their lives from a horde a biters. He and Meghan fell in a pit filled with Zombies. He was able to killed the zombies and saved Meghan. The governor's former right hand Martinez was standing over the pit and help them get out of it. Martinez then told him that he is now in charge of the group.

It didn't take long before Brian plotted his rise to power. First he killed Martinez while they were having a friendly game of golf. But right after, Pete and his brother Mitch took leadership until they camp could decide on how to make a proper voting process.


He then visited Pete in his trailer and stab him in the Torso. Brian eventually killed him by strangulation. He then he went to Pete's trailer and convinced him to take his side. He might have figured out that Pete would be useful to him since Pete knows how to operate a tank which they currently have in their camp.

Later a biter breached their camp almost killing Meghan. The governor then started thinking and visited the lake where he dumped Pete's body. A zombiefied Pete is seen with his feet chained leaving him stuck in the water.



A few minutes before the episode ended, the governor is seen near the prison looking at Carl and Rick. He considered shooting them but decided not to. He then started walking again and saw Michonne and Hershel. The episode ended with the Governor pointing a gun at them ready to shoot.

After two episodes of no Rick and the gang, the two camps would collide the next episode. The last two episode was mostly character build up for the new cast. Brian or the the Governor does seem to be a change man like we were led to believe in the last episode. He still craves for power and still has a vendetta against Michonne. The preview of the next episode reveals that the Governor would try to convince the camp in taking the Prisons. It seems like he would be successful since the tank is seen just outside the fence.

Luck is not on Rick's side Just barely surviving the disease that claimed number of lives in the Prison, they would have to face another treat when the Governor arrives.

Will the Megafight between Pacquiao and Mayweather happen?


Days after the Brandon Rios and Manny Pacquiao bout, news has resurfaced about the possible fight against Pacquiao and Mayweather. Negotiations has been ongoing between both camps but have but hurdle with demands ranging from blood test to who would get the bigger payout.

Floyd Mayweather Sr., the father and trainer of Floyd was impressed with Pacquiao's performance against Rios but believes that Pacquiao should better either Robert Guerrero or Saul Canelo Alvarez in an impressive win. The two fighters were the last two opponents that Floyd fight and won over. Only then would Pacquiao get the chance to fight his son. If that were only true. I mean if Pacquiao between any of the two that Floyd Sr. mentioned, would the fight really happen? I mean can he really convinced his son to fight then?



They should get a move on with all the negotiations. Pacquiao is turning 35 in a few days and Floyd would turn 37 on February 24 next year. Time is running out on both boxers. If they do meet five years from now would it still be exciting?

Both camps has been throwing words at each other. I think boxing fans deserve seeing both of them throwing punches against each other and I hope it happens soon.

How I met your mother season 9 recap



Warning Spoiler alert

So far the mother has met Lily on the train and Barney in one of his challenges. The mother has set Barney straight and has made him realize that he wants to be with Robin for the rest of his life. There future scene with Ted and the mother in this season. So far Ted is seen with the mother in the Farhampton bar a year after the wedding and Ted proposing to her in the lighthouse. In my opinion this are great scene that writers have come up with. 




We still have to see how Ted would meet the mother. So far all the events would lead to that moment but there are a lot of detours before getting there. I don’t mind this detours but I wonder if the remaining episodes would be enough to end the series satisfying the fans. I personally find the season great so far. 
Bringing in Daphne as Marshall’s driving companion is a great part of the story. She has brought a lot of laughs to the story. But will we see her again after the 10th episode? I do hope so. As Marshall is about to reach Farhampton, the evitable fight between Marshall and Lily is about to begin. For those who haven’t seen the last ten episodes, Marshall just recently told Lily about his decision to take the Judge position without telling Lily first. This would spoil their plans to move to Rome for a year. We would have to see who would sacrifice their dream. 

Zabka has been great so far but I think I had enough of him. So far the season has been focusing too much time on the minor characters. That also goes with James and Loretta.

I would love to see that the mother met Ted before the season finale. As we all know that Ted would meet her in the Farhampton station with the iconic yellow umbrella and the first time he sees her is when she is playing at the reception. I think they should allot more than one episode of them getting to know each other. It’s been nine seasons. The wait is almost over. Will How I met your mother fans be given a fitting end to a great series or are we waiting for a big disappointment? What are your thoughts?

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) sells goods to typhoon survivors

Two weeks after Typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) hit Tacloban, the social media has been flooding with disturbing news on how the Philippine government has been handling the rescue operations and dispersement of relief goods. I personally don't believe everything that I hear on the news. But some stories has been aired on TV network GMA, ABS-CBN and even CNN.

This is one news I saw in ireport.cnn.com that has bothered me. the Department of trade and industry (DTI) is selling basic goods. The Diskwento Caravan, as DTI calls it, is selling bread,coffee, milk and processed meat with discount ranging from 10% to 30% from the original price.

Here is my question. Where did all the donations from foreign countries go? Total donations from foreign country has totalled to 200 million US dollars. Are you telling me that all the money is .now all gone? This is disturbing news. I also heard in the news ABS CBN was airing that the government prohibited donors from giving milk to survivors since the Department of Health (DOH) is promoting breast milk. WTF?! Pardon my language but this news is very disgusting. And if DOH is promoting breast milk, why is DTI selling milk?

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 10: Mom and Dad


Saturday 3 PM. 27 hours before the wedding


Barney has entrusted Ted with his surprise gift for Robin, an autographed photo of Wayne Gretzsky. Unfortunately Billy Zapka (the villain in the karate kid films that Barney thinks is the hero) has other plans for the photo. He sneaks in to Ted’s room and poured ink on the photo. 



Ted informs Lily what happen and tells her that Detective Mosby is going to investigate who is responsible for the act. Lily immediately replies that Detective Mosby sucks and that he still haven’t solved the Pineapple incident. He has three suspects: Zabka, the Bellhop and Robin’s cousin Claude. Ted suspected that Zabka was responsible because he wants to reclaim the best man role. Ted suspected that the bellhop ruined the photo because he complained about him. But bellhop didn’t know that he was being complained until Ted has informed him. Ted deduced that Claude is a huge Montreal Canadiens fan and hates the Gretsky and the Edmonton Oilers. After seeing ink on his hand he thought that Claude is guilty of the inking the photo. Claude’s Alibi did not help. According to him he was helping an Elderly when the hand glider that he was riding crash in to the beach and hit a squid. The ink squirted as he was about to help the Elderly. Ridiculous as his alibi may seem, it is true.There was indeed a giant squid in the beach. In the end Zabka was caught and he confessed that he did it to become Barney’s best man again. He apologizes to Ted and instead Ted took the blame for the photo. 

Daphne and Marshall are still on their road trip and trying to beat the time to reach Daphne’s daughter Model UN speech. They eventually did get there. The speech started like any speech a kid would write until she said that “Oil is the Future! Don’t listen to those gutless environmental sissies. Drill Baby Drill!” Daphne was so proud. Marshall was shocking having listened to a kid denounce environmentalism. He immediately bids farewell to Daphne and left for Farhampton.



Barney is playing Cupid and trying to reunite her mom Loreta with her dad Jerome (John Lithgow). Unfortunately James has the same plans as well. Barney came up with a plan to get rid of Jerome’s wife with the help of Ranjit. He hijacked the elevator while Jerome and Loreta and pours water on them hoping that they disrobe. James’ dad Sam while be Barney and Robin’s officiating minister for their wedding. Barney and James soon learned that Sam and Loreta are already hooking up but were not told about it. Robin explained to Barney that James needs Sam and Loreta to be together more than Barney because of James’ recent break up. Eventually Barney gives his blessing and trapped Sam and Loreta inside. Unfortunately James was with his parents when they started making out. 

It seems like Marshall will be with the gang next episode since it wouldn’t be much of a road trip without Daphne.I do hope that Daphne returns because she was great! I guess we have to brace ourselves for the Marshall-Lily fight. It is something that we have been waiting for a while now. With only a few episodes left with still have to learn about the truth about the Pineapple incident. Also there is the final slap from Marshall that we still haven’t seen. We still have to see how the mother will met Robin and Marshall. That is if they have met before the wedding. In the episode Barney drop the Glen Mckenna that he and James were about to drink. That’s Mckenna number 2. In episode three of this season, Ted dropped a Mckenna when Barney told him about seeing him with Robin trying to look for the locket. SO is that the last Mckenna or would there be more?

More mother please! But it seems we won’t see her in the next episode based on the preview. What do you think of Mom and Dad?

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 7: No Questions Asked


Friday 11:30PM. 42.5 Hours before the wedding

Last episode Daphne has sent Lily a message regarding Marshall’s acceptance of the Judgeship. Marshall is relieved that Lily is complaining about the room that they got which room number 13 instead of learning about Marshall’s Judgeship. The room is rumored to be haunted by the supposed serial killer Captain Dearduff the Hooker. Rumor also has it that Dearduff died in room in 1843 when he froze to death next to the window when his hook got stuck in the wall.

Moments later Marshall asked Ted to do a “No questions asked” for helping Ted get out of a mailbox in New York City. Ted is to delete the last text message that Lily received. He instructed Ted to use the door since the lock is broken. But instead he climbed down the drain pipe and tried to use a hanger to unlock the window. He was discovered by Lily but he was able to put her back to sleep using a version of Marvin’s Lullaby. 


As he was searching for Lily’s phone he heard voices from the ventilation shaft. Barney was inside it and was searching for Lily’s phone as well. Barney also owes Marshall a no questions asked when he signed Barney out of the hospital for swallowing Lucky charms. Lily was awaken and was asking Barney what he was doing but shortly after room service arrived. Lily stormed off to complain about the room service and was refusing to pay it. Later Robin came out of the food cart and revealed that he owes Marshall a “No questions asked”. Marshall was asked by Robin to meet her in an alley. He caught her and escaped from weird people wearing spandex. Robin was wearing spandex as well. They all could not find found and then they realize that she has it with her. 

On the reception area, Lily was complaining about the room service. She was about to call Marshall when Ted asked her to destroy her phone for the “No questions ask” that she owes him. Apparently he helped Lily when her students tied her up in a chair.




Ted told Marshall that he succeeded and asked him why he didn’t ask him for a “No question asked”. Marshall told him that he never kept anything from Lily which prompted him to tell her the truth. Lily didn’t take it easily and said that he never believed that anyone died in room 13 but somebody will die there soon.
I was wondering about the whole concept of the “No question asked”. In real life would you do anything without asking questions? I am sure that I would if anybody asked me but I would sure make sure to make fun of that person. I don’t think anyone ask me that kind of request before? Has anyone asked you to do that? Now the concept did not appear in the whole show until this episode.  I wonder why they didn’t make any hints about that. It could have been a recurring plot like the Slaps which reminds me that Marshall still has one slap to give. What are your thoughts on No questions asked?

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 8: The Lighthouse



Saturday  9 AM. 33 Hours before the wedding
Robin has won Loretta’s favorite blouse in the poker game. Robin refused to mellow down and wore the blouse during a breakfast between Lily, Barney and Loretta. Robin flaunts her winning which Loretta didn’t take easily. Robin claims that her mother makes better scrambled eggs than Loretta. However after tasting Loretta’s egg, everyone seems to agree that it is the best eggs that they have tested. Barney even said that some famous songs were based on Loretta’s eggs.

Loretta soon learns that Robin does not know how to cook which made her wonder what her grandchildren would eat. Robin told her that she could not have kids. Barney told Loretta that he knew that Robin could not have kids and despite that he is willing to marry her. Soon Robin learns that her mother won’t be able to come to the wedding because of her fear in flying. Loretta then comforted Robin and told her that she should not call her anything but Mom. She and Robin then reconciled. 



Marshall and Daphne were forced to stay with Mrs. Mosby in Cleveland to wait for a storm to pass. Ted’s stepfather Clint notices that the two are having some issues and tried to resolve it. Clint joins them on their roadtrip determine to resolve their issues. But instead Marshall and Daphne teamed up to make fun of Clint. Clint upset asked Marshall to pull over to meditate. After a talk with Daphne where she pointed out that he won’t get any respect until he takes charge, he left Clint on side of the road to meditate. When Daphne asked Marshall if he is really going to leave Clint behind, he snapped due to Daphne’s decision to tell Lily about the Judgeship. He then put on his and Ted’s favorite road trip music, “I’m gonna be (500 Miles)”.  Daphne could not make any objections.



Back in Farhampton Lily is still upset about learning the truth and has been breaking glasses when he hears words that are related to Law or Judgeship.  Ted is still trying to get the map to the lighthouse. Unfortunately the clerk would not allow him to get there since he is single and lonely. Lily then suggested for Ted to settle and take Cassie, the girl he been consoling the previous night, to the lighthouse. Ted reluctantly took her there. Unfortunately she sprained her ankle and Ted had to carry her all the way to the top of the lighthouse. Unfortunately Ted throws up with they got to the top ruining whatever romantic chance he could have. He then realizes that he is glad that he did not settle for Cassie. A future scene shows Ted with the mother on top of the lighthouse. He then proposes and the mother enthusiastically accepts.

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 9: Platonish



Saturday 11 AM.  31 hours before the wedding

Robin is still upset after learning that her mother would not be able to attend her wedding. Barney then accepts the challenge of cheering her and claimed that once a challenge is accepted it can not be unaccepted and has to be seen though. Lily argues that Barney failed to finish one challenge to pick diapers and Samosas while picking up a woman. 

Flashback a couple months back. Lily, Robin and Barney are on Mclaren’s bar and Lily has argued that Barney only accepts challenges that he create. She then gave him his first challenge. Picking up a girl while speaking like a dolphin. Eventually he succeeded. Second is pickup a girl without using the letter E.
The third challenge is picking up a girl who Robin has chosen. Before explaining the challenge to Barney, she talked to a girl on bar telling her that she is an assistant of Ryan Gosling and that Gosling would not speak to her if she talks to any guy.

When Barney arrives in Mclaren she refused to talk to him. Barney had to trick her that he was Ryan Gosling and that he had facial surgery to play a role of a guy who is much more handsome than Gosling.  She gave in and gave him her number.




Robin and Lily made one more challenge getting diapers and Samosas while trying to get a girl. While trying to complete the challenge, Barney met the mother and asked him if he wants to keep on playing or if he wants to win. He decided to stop the challenge and started creating a plan on how he would propose to Robin.

Also in the Episode, Marshall is trying to push Ted in making his move on Robin. He explained that Ted still had feelings for Robin and should not let the opportunity pass. Ted has argued that the end result would still be the same and it would end the same way as before.



Ted gets a phone from Hammond Druthers (Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad) offering him a job in Chicago. Ted has declined and Druthers has promised to make him miserable if he refused by calling him non-stop, tweeting and even flooding Ted’s Facebook page with messages in which Ted replies that they are not Facebook friends. In the end Ted declines the Job as he is still not yet ready to leave New York and not yet ready to give up on Robin.

There are two things great about this episode. First Barney meeting the mother and second is Bryan Cranston as Hammond Druthers. Barney’s meeting with the mother has set things on perspective for Barney. It was a turning point and if they did not meet, Barney would still not consider settling down. Cranston played his role perfectly. It is funny seeing him like this in comparison on how he acts on Breaking Bad. The episode explains why Ted is going to Chicago. This is one of the best episodes of the season so Far. What are your thoughts on Platonish?

From the creators of how I met your mother comes a spinoff of sort, How I met your dad. Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will write the Pilot episode. There were rumors that the cast of the spinoff while be introduced in the final season of How I met your mother but later it is revealed that the story would be entirely unrelated to the show. Story would be on a woman’s point view and how she would meet the man that he will marry.
I have been a fan of the show since it first air. I love the show and how it has been written. But could I invest my time to this spinoff? Who knows how much Bays and Thomas have left for this new show. I wouldn’t mind giving it a try. I just hope that they don’t make the same mistake of what Scrubs did. If they are going to make a spinoff, it should be totally unrelated. In Scrubs they tried start the spinoff series where they left off with the original series. I personally had a hard time adjusting to the idea of the main character being changed to a new actor. That was the flaw in my opinion. I hope this would not be the case for How I met your dad. What are your thoughts?

Friday 9 PM. 45 hours before the wedding

Robin and Barney are trying to set Ted up with three of their friends: Sophia, Cassie and Grace. Barney tells Ted that it is an important decision and choosing wrong would lead to a miserable weekend. Barney compares it to Indiana Jones’ decision when trying to find the Holy Grail on the movie Indiana Jones and the last crusade. 
Ted chooses Cassie. Immediately Ted sees a vision of a knight in the Indiana Jones movie telling him that he has chosen poorly. Little that Ted knows, Cassie has just broken up with his ex-boyfriend Wesley. Soon she learns that she is getting fired from work. She asked if she got meet with her students to say goodbye but was informed that her class hates her. Cassie then started to get depressed. 


Every decision Ted made was mistake and every time he makes them immediately after the knight appears and tells him that he did not make poor decisions. Starting with place where Ted plans to dish Cassie in. Ted plans to dump Cassie in the dining area. Apparently Cassie’s parents were there which make the situation more awkward for Ted. 

Meanwhile Lily meets Reverend Lowell and tells him how she met Marshall. Lowell got angry and left Lily. She later learns that Robin and Barney used the details of their first meeting and passed it as their own. Lowell eventually learns that truth and refused to marry them. Barney and Robin told him the truth but it was too much for the Reverend to handle. Later they realize that the reverend died in his chair. 
Ted and Cassie meet Wesley on their way to their room to make out. Wesley is currently with Sophia, one of the single ladies that Robin and Barney are trying to hook him up with. With an attempt to get rid of Cassie, Ted told Sophia that they should leave Cassie and Wesley to talk. Wesley protested and Cassie and Ted went to the room. 



Back in the room Ted and Cassie were trying to make out. Ted realized that Cassie was too much of wreck and the chance of them making out is slim. Cassie then let Ted off the hook. Back in the Bar Grace arrives. Since everyone in the wedding is thinks that Cassie and Ted is a couple, Ted has forced Grace to the bar and has bought drinks before Grace talks to anyone. Barney then informs Ted that the Reverend has passed away. Ted then proposed a toast in memory of the reverend which the Knight tried to stop. Ted went through the toast but learned that Cassie is the Reverend’s niece. Ted was forced to comfort her in front of all the people throwing his chance of hook up away with Grace. 

Marshall is still on the road trip. Daphne plans to help him by practicing what to say to Lily. Daphne learns that Marshall took the job before telling Lily. Out of anger, she confess to Marshall that she texted her about the judgeship. The episode ended with Lily calling Marshall on the phone. 
This is the best episode of the season so far. The knight was great and really funny. This event leads again on how the mother meets Ted. If Ted went with either Grace or Sophia, she might have not met the mother. What are your thoughts?

Pacquiao wins against Rios


Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios didn't plan to become Many Pacquiao's punching bag or become his tune up game but that is what happened.

According to Rios they expected that Pacquiao will be fast but his speed during the match was something their camp didn't expected. Pacquiao’s speed has caused problems for Rios. He was waiting for the chance to give Pacquiao one big punch that could knock him out but unfortunately for Rios the opportunity never came. Rios that Pacquiao did not hurt him but said in a post press conference “But he was quick. I did train for quickness but he was much quicker than my sparring partners.”

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 5: The Poker Game



Friday 6 PM. 48 hours before the wedding


In the poker table, Ranjit, Barney, Ted, Billy Zabka, Tim Gunn, James and Marshpillow were playing. At the last stages of the game Robin and James were left. Robin irritated by James’ negative comments about marriage asked him wager to his wedding ring. Robin won but later has brought Loretta to ask Barney to tell Robin to return the Ring. Barney was put in a difficult position on choosing between his mother and Barney over Robin. Robin and Loretta then played poker and Robin eventually wins Loretta’s favorite blouse.

Meanwhile Ted informs Lily that he plans to give Robin and Barney three wedding gifts. This ticked Lily off since Ted did not even get them a wedding present. Marshall has tried several times to send Ted the message that he did not get them a gift. At the same time Ted was also trying to send a message to Lily and Marshall about not receiving a thank you note. Apparently their friend Stuart has used Ted’s wedding present and passed it as his own wedding gift. Lily confronts Stuart and he confessed. He asked Lily not to tell his wife Claudia and has 
claimed that the wedding gift has changed the course of their marriage positively. 




As Marshall was passing Chicago, Ted has asked Grazzola, Ted and Marshall’s favorite pizza place that closed down due to sanitary reason but is now back in business, to deliver a pizza while they are passing Chicago. This is way to reconcile with Marshall. 

In the end she chose Robin and wanted to severe his ties with Loretta and James. He also said that it was all Robin’s Idea. Robin wanted to apologize to Loretta by returning the blouse. Loretta did not take it back and told Robin that it isn’t over yet. 



Alright marshpillow again? Marshpillow sucks! Good thing that is the end of it. The thing between Robin and Loretta is far from over. We expect them to clash in future episodes. Bringing in Grazzola is good touch to story. If you watch the previous season, Grazzola is the one place they love even though the food is not safe to eat. Only Ted and Marshall have eaten it so far. Will everyone in the gang eventually have a taste of the Grazzola pizza? It would be great if that would happen but it seems that is the end of it. What are your thoughts about the poker game?

How I met your mother Season 9 Episode 4: The Broken Code





Friday 3 PM. 51 hours before the wedding

Barney confronts Ted about the incident in the Park with Robin. Apparently Barney was there in the Park and saw Ted holding Robin’s hand. Ted has explained that he was just comforting Robin which Barney seems to just to accept as if nothing happened. 

Barney then asked Ted to do several request as part of his best man duties starting off with handwriting the table cards as Barney has explained that he left them. After finishing the task Barney asked him to do so modifications to the table cards in which Ted immediately agrees. Barney then asked Ted to move to the basement to make rooms for their relatives. Ted’s is forced to stay there along with the Pigeons that they have for the wedding. 



Ted eventually learned that the Poker game has started with Ranjit, Billy Zabka and Tim Gunn (who guest in previous season as Barney’s personal tailor). Ted realizes that Barney is still upset with him because of the incident. William Zabka was tasked to be the Best Man. They argued and Barney has said that Ted has broken the Bro Code. Ted insisted that he hasn’t. To decide whether Ted has broken the bro code they seek the help of Marshall. Lily has created a Marshpillow and has attached a tablet to its head. They are talking to him via Video chat. Marshall has asked Ted and Barney to recreate the events by asking them to hold hands. Ted finally admitted that he still has feelings for Robin but has promised that he won’t do anything to ruin their wedding. Barney has truly accepted Ted’s apologies and went to the back to the poker game. Barney tells Zabka that Ted will be his best man again in which Zabka obviously did not like. 



Although Barney and Ted are back as best buddies, it does not seem that this is the end of Ted’s feeling for Robin. There is still the locket and from the previous episode we learned that Ted is the Wild card in the Wedding. For me Marshpillow is getting too old. Please don’t bring it back again. Marshall is still driving to Farhampton. I can’t wait for the whole gang to be all together again. Zabka will definitely get his revenge on Ted. Guess we will have to see what he does. What are your thoughts for the Broken code?
