How I Met Your Mother Review- "The Ashtray"

So the show's 10th anniversary just hit, and if certain events didn't transpire later in its run, there would be more rejoicing about its revelation. Here I am, still going through my rewatch and critique, just trying to soak up what's left of the show's greatness.

This isn't HIMYM at its absolute best, but it's a pretty strong episode anyway. Lily and Marshall get the bulk of the serious material, as Lily's passion for art is called upon to result in a welcome conclusion for her. This isn't among the show's most emotionally satisfying moments, but her hopes to make it seem genuine.

Meanwhile, the rest of the gang pick up the comedic slack, and do so well. High Ted, drunk Robin, and Barney as usual all make for good moments abound. And the Captain! Great to have him back.
