We’re five episodes into the fifth season of How I Met Your Mother. As someone who’s been watching the show since the first episode, it was really nice to not have to worry about whether or not it would be renewed for this season. With an easy renewal can also come a little bit of laurel-resting. I’m happy to report that this doesn’t seem to be the case with HIMYM.
The “Don’t Vote” squad is back, and while Sarah Silverman doesn’t take off her bra in this one, you do get a healthy amount of Borat. My favorite moment was Neil Patrick Harris’s comment that he’s voting because he fell in love and he wants it to matter – won’t lie, I teared a bit there.
He appears to be some kind of shoe fairy. But the important thing is, he’s singing again, and that should make everyone happy. Click the link. Check it out.
So, have you watched Act I of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog yet? No, you say? Who is this Dr. Horrible you speak of, Jessica, I’ve been living under a rock and only recently discovered the many glories the Internet possesses?
See Joss Whedon (he of Buffy and Firefly awesomeness) decided he didn’t like sitting on his hands during the writers’ strike and teamed up with his siblings to work on a project outside of the Hollywood mold. He called up a few friends and lo, Dr. Horrible was born. The first act of the web series, featuring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible and Nathan Fillion as his nemesis Captain Hammer, premiered midnight, Eastern time yesterday. The response was so great that the Dr. Horrible site, along with several other even remotely related sites all came tumbling down. But it’s back now and free for your viewing pleasure. Check it out:
Act 2 will premiere the same time tonight and Act 3 two days later. You can also purchase the episodes via iTunes. Do yourself a favor, and watch.
And if you’re twiddling your thumbs waiting for the next act to be available, check out Dr. Horrible’s leading lady Felicia Day in The Guild, a web series she wrote and stars in that pokes some good-hearted fun at those MMORPG players we all have in our lives.
