How I Met Your Mother 01/09/06 (S01E12) "The Wedding"

Jonathan_S · 01-10-2006, 10:30 AM

I kept expecting Lilly to show up sooner at the bar to stop Barney. But it was pretty good once she did.

"One of each".

The rest of the episode was only ok though.

Me too. I knew she was going to grab him by the ear. What really surprised me was this was the first time I remember AH and NPH doing a comedic scene between the two of them only and it was great.

Robin looked awesome in that dress. Just wow. We need more Robin all dolled up.

BTW - The actress at the end was Ashley Williams and she looked nothing like I remembered her. Still looked great and still has that incredible smile.

Yeah, saw her and said to my wife, 'Hey, Good Morning, Miami Chick! Cool!'. Good to see her again...

Another great episode! I loved Marshall wanting the pretty wedding. I really enjoy all the characters on this show. The I brought it stuff was pretty funny.

"If Stuart can pull a 9 then I can pull, like, a 16."
"What's a 16?"
"Those 2 8's over there."

Good stuff.

I really hope that Ashley Williams winds up being the "mother". While I would enjoy this series even without the gimmick, I think it's time for them to start discussing, you know, how he met the mother. I don't know, call me crazy. (Incidentally, did anyone notice that on her IMDB page she was credited in "The Pineapple Incident" episode?)

And I can't recall who said it first, but during the whole interplay between Barney and the bride (Claire?) I was waiting for Allyson Hannigan (why can't I remember her character's name) to burst in. Sure enough, it was exactly what I was expecting, but it definitely delivered.

Royster · 01-10-2006, 11:01 AM

Yep. When the bride was already getting drunk, I said to my wife "Where's Lily?"

I liked the voice of Little Barney.

Spoiler:

This has become my favorite sitcom. I started watching 10 minutes nito the show and had caught up to real time by the end.

Note to TiVo: I still need a remote that FFs into the future. Thanx.

I think you can watch that episode on yahoo's tv page. I may watch it tonight to try and pick her out.

As far as the AH and NPH scene I think this is the classic thinking that in the hands s of lesser actors or writers they could have screwed it up.

If that existed I would be watching way more CNBC and MSNBC.

If you figure out who Ashley Williams was in "The Pineapple Incident" please post it here. I'm very curious. Maybe the reason she's smiling so much at Ted is that she remembers him from the bar that night. Could she have been one of the friends at the table of the woman Ted takes home? Seems like she wouldn't be so friendly to him after her friend snuck out of the bedroom window...

sschwart · 01-10-2006, 12:01 PM

It was a good episode, just unfortunately so damn predictable.

If it counts for anything (and I'm sure it doesn't), Ashley Williams is not credited on the TV.com site for "The Pineapple Incident".

Good stuff.

That line killed me.

I though this episode was much better than the last few (well, specifically the NYE one), probably because we had Barney back in his usual form. Trying to pick up on Claire while she was drunk and distraught was classic Barney sleaze.

Claire: "You remembered I drink vodka cranberries!"
Barney (aside, to bartender): "They all drink vodka cranberries."

I thought Lily's and Barney's scene was funny too. Yes, you saw it coming a mile away, but it was still well done.

Could be someone had her confused with the girl from The Wonder Years.

Incidentally, you can take a look at Barney's "Get Psyched 2006" playlist in one of his blog entries (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/how_i_m...og/12_22.shtml). Definitely some interesting tunes in there.

Chapper1 · 01-10-2006, 12:39 PM

I was also glad to see Ashley Williams on this show. She was the only reason I watched "Good Morning, Miami". She is a cutie for sure...

bobo2424 · 01-10-2006, 12:56 PM

does anybody know what the song was at the end of the episode last night

Zzot · 01-10-2006, 01:18 PM

When I saw Ashley Williams, I was not sure I recognized her at first...then she smiled, and knew that I recognized her, but it then took quite awhile for me to figure out who she was. She is quite a bit different than she was in Goodmorning Miami. Not sure what the differences are, but it was hard to for me to recognize her. Unlike Constance Zimmer in Injustice, who I recognized instantly.
Other than these two, who have finally done something after Goodmorning Miami, I cannot say that I have seen any of the other people from that show. I looked at imdb.com, and I have not seen any of the various things that these people have been in.

I believe it was Death Cab for Cutie. Not sure name of song but I do know it's on their lastest release,"Plans". Possibly "Soul meets Body".

mwhip · 01-10-2006, 02:06 PM

I think it's a Jennifer Grey thing. You know you recognize her then you realize she has had a nose job. It may be that with Ashley Williams I just have not figured it out yet.

rockislandmike · 01-10-2006, 02:11 PM

I haven't watched it yet,

Spoiler:

Although, I don't know, once we actually meet "the mother", what happens to the show then ??!?!?

UBUBUB · 01-10-2006, 02:55 PM

Is this the show I heard about where they changed the sexual orientation of one of the main characters after the pilot? If so, I think it was NPH's.

Nope because NPH was straight in the pilot. Unless they re-shot his scenes. Honestly I don't think his character would work if gay.

Has she really? My wife and I were speculating the exact same thing.

As for everyone who thinks AW's smile is cute -- it is, but in a mind numbing way. I swear I feel stupider after having watched her.

Yeah, I thinks she looks very similar to this:

She shoulda played Cindi Lou Who in the live version...

If that's supposed to be "before" and "after" a nose job, it looks like the pictures are reversed.

(Now... I don't think either nose looks bad, just that the "before" looks smaller.)

No. I am just saying there is something there that she had done that I can't figure out. But it has changed her apperance 180 degrees. Sort of like Jennifer Grey with the nose job she got way back when.
