How I met your Mother: "Double Date" (05x02)

This week on "How I met your Mother": Ted goes on a blind date with a woman and realizes he went on a blind date with her seven years ago. Barney and Marshall discover a stripper who looks like Lilly and Robin finds out that Barney goes to the stripclub very often.
Firstly, Ted and his blind date. That was actually pretty funny. Although I'm almost certain you would remember a date you had only seven years ago, both don't recognize each other. But when they do, they decide to try to make up for their mistakes in the past: She doesn't talk about her cats and exboyfriends, he gives her his jacket when she's cold. It was actually interesting to see what went wrong and how they tried to fix it. They went to the roof and even kissed (as they did seven years ago) and I was already thinking that the girl could stay for some time when Ted said that he liked his flaws and consequently they couldn't be together. I really hated that twist because I think Ted could have tried to make it work, but well... he's waiting for the mother anyway.
Meanwhile, Barney and Marshall go to a strip-club because a stripper there looks like Lilly. They've already found a lesbian who looked like Robin and a Mexican lawyer who looked like Marshall. Marshall and Barney talked about fantasizing about other women than their girlfriend/wife and Marshall told a story where he had to fantasize about Lilly dying and then he had to wait an appropriate time before he could fantasize about another woman. Barney on the other hand was sure that Robin was okay with him fantasizing about other women and going to strip-clubs. Of course, it was the other way round: Robin was jealous and Lilly was okay with it and even excited to meet her stripper-doppelgaenger. She even bought Marshall a lapdance with the stripper while Robin was consequently ignored by Barney who still though she was okay with it. It was hilarious. Little sad that there was no cute interactions between Barney and Robin, but otherwise it was great.
All in all, great episode. Enjoyed Ted dationg (He's so cute and a little bit like Bambi) and the stripper story. Laughed so hard at Lilly's dirty, dirty mind. Hopefully, there's more Barney-Robin interaction next week.

Best Moment: Barney not realizing that Robin is jealous and just going on and on about how cool his girlfriend is. Hilarious.
Weirdest Moment: The whole doppelgaenger thing is a little weird. I don't like it when a show gets too surreal and the Stripper Lilly was a bit out there.
Favourite Quote:
Barney: "I don't come here that often."
Waitress: "Hey Barney, here's your usual and I'll send you your other usual when she's done stretching."
Barney: "Thank you kindly, stranger."

Current Mood: Blah
