How I Met Your Mother - Season One, Episode One

Pilot
I wonder, are there any American shows for which the first episode isn't titled 'Pilot'? I like how Lost's pilot episode actually had a pilot in it. That made a tiny bit more sense.

Things I know about this show:
  • Barney Stinson is a real playa and wears lots of suits. He is Neil Patrick Harris which is cool
  • The show is about a group of friends, one of whom is called Ted
  • Someone is someone's mother. But it's all very mysterious
  • 12.1% of my Facebook friends like it. And apparently it's a really good show although I'm not quite sure why.
This episode starts off in the year 2030, with someone (imma guess Ted) telling his children a "long story" about how he met their mother.


Now, tbh, the website I am watching this on is the worst quality ever. So any screengrabs I take are gonna be shit. I could get higher quality downloaded episodes I'm sure but cbf atm. Mostly because I'm only doing this so I won't have to study for 20 minutes.

(Although typing this up will probably lengthen that to an hour lolol)

Ahh too much info

Ted is 27 and an architect and lives in New York with his best friend from college, Marshall, in 2005.
Marshall and Ted
Oh lolol I was meant to think Marshall was proposing to Ted but I know from having watched a few episodes on TV that he is actually married to Lily (??) who has big eyes and red hair.

I have seen a couple of episodes of this show on TV, but I can't really remember them. There was one where Ted took someone's sister to a wedding? Or something.

lolol sex physics

I can't wait until I grow up and have flatmates. Itsa be great

Yay the introduction of Barney!

he is great already
"Lebanese girls are the new half-Asians."
suit up?

Okay, I guess Barney already knew that Marshall is planning to propose to Lily, but since Lily doesn't know yet, isn't it kinda inappropriate to be talking loudly in a bar about their future children? I don't know if Barney is good at keeping secrets or not.

Flashback yay
Ted. You have problems.
Wow, Ted's goatee is really horrendous. I wonder how long ago this meeting was? And in case you were wondering I see nothing wrong with becoming friends with someone that you met at a urinal

So, Barney really likes suits?

why don't my friends play 'Have You Met Liam'? it looks like fun

I just realised that I'm only 15.2% into the episode and I've already written kinda a lot. oh well. all these thoughts aren't really connected, and I'm just writing them as I have them. I think it's better that way.

Now we meet Lily yay! I think she has really big eyes!
also, Marshall can't cook and Lily works at a preschool? what does Marshall do? more importantly, (so much more importantly), what does Barney do?!?

LOLOLOL Marshall is great, and in law school! i am also a student

So Ted's planned out his whole wedding? And is this Yasmina (?) chick gonna be important? I assumed she was just a random but maybe Barney/Ted gets with her?

Marshall is scared of champagne bottles?

Oh no, Yasmina (?) is dating bartender Karl. And something happening with the cork was really obvious but is Lily okay??? she can't be in hospital on the day she got engaged!!

Ooh, music and voiceover while slow zoom on lady in kinda-ugly green top! my expectations that she is the mother will probably be shortly subverted!
Green top lady! *EDIT* Robyn!
why is Barney not a real person he is so great

Oh no Lily has a black eye and the taxi driver thinks Marshall hit her which is hilarious
Poor Lily.
Oh wait! I saw another episode where Ted's students (but he's not a teacher? confused?) all drank every time some news lady said um, or something. Green top lady resembles the aforementioned news lady and is a reporter so is looking to be the main character that Yasmina (?) couldn't be

oh man will this show give me the dating advice I never received from Jesus even though some Christians tricking me into signing up to their relationship advice emails but they never sent me any? I sure hope so!
"De - wait for it - nied!"
 i like laser tag too, Barney! I'll play it with you!

why is 52 year old Ted a different voice person? it's very distracting.
Smurf penis.
Wait, has she told us her name yet?? she probably did and I missed it
Lily is tots rocking an eyepatch. she looks hot.
I love screengrabs
oh no mystery lady has been called away because a crazy guy is trying to jump off Manhattan bridge! and Ted didn't kiss her! you fool Ted
"Aww Ted, that is so sweet! So you chickened out like a little bitch."
Sorry Barney, I think Lily just passed you in best character-ness lololol

OH MAN A LASER TAG SCENE I AM SO EXCITE

yes Ted, you shoulda kissed her. what if something happens to her in the next week omg
"A week? That's like a year in hot girl time."
Lily went to grab Marshall's hand... but she kinda missed
ooooh Ted is a badass thief

I wish had somewhere to go in a taxi that wasn't just my house

man Barney is a fucking dude. I <3 him

UM I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO VERY WRONG
also Ted's obsession with this girl is *kinda* creepy. I don't think she realises that speeches are already being written for her wedding

lololol @ everything Barney

ooooh is she seducing him??
also I don't think I'm supposed to know her name just yet. Because when she was talking on the news, they started talking over her name. It's very irritating to talk about a character whose name you don't know.
Fat zombie Ted?
Marshall and Lily started going out when he was 18?? I guess she's the only woman he's ever been with then.

omg ted you're a tv show character. kiss her right now or plot events will happen and run everything!!

LOLOLOL TED YOU FUCKING DICK
THIS SHOW IS JUST WHAT I NEED IN MY LIFE
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
even ted's future children are scandalised and i forgot that they exist
it's weird actually, because it means that the entire show is one giant flashback.

ahh they left ted there how awkward. and inappropriate conversation lolol

where did his olives go? in his pockets?
Look! No olives!
WHAT THE FUCK TED YOU MET HER YESTERDAY, TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE IS A NO-GO ARE YOU INSANE


kiss kiss are they gonna kiss omj

UH I THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE KISSED HER IS HE SOCIALLY RETARDED


even ravjeet (?) agrees!!!!

AUNT ROBYN?!?!?!?!?!?

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS PLOT TWIST EVEN THOUGH I PREDICTED IT HALF AN HOUR AGO

so what, does Robyn marry his brother? or he marries her sister? or does 'Aunt' just mean 'really close friend' like with 'Uncle Marshall'. Probably the latter

argh now I want to watch the next episode and I can't! whyyyyy

PS I just thought of this but is Ted still in love with her??? he'll have to get over her eventually if she's not the mother of his children
