i didnt particularly like this episode.
i for one think Kal has like 0 chemistry with robin and the group. Ill admit he's a funny guy but he just doesnt fit in the group. Pretty much every other guest, cameo, and girlfriend fit in like 10x better than he does
i didnt like the whole "therapist analyzing the group" bit, thought it was a cheap forced bit.
pretty much the only thing i found entertaining was the barney/robin bit
overall 3/5
Also something that just dawned on me[something ive been subtly noticing but just wanted to finally acknowledge it] is that Ted "presumably" the protagonist for the show has definitely become one of the least entertaining, least significant characters. [although admittedly this probably has more to do with Marshall and Barney stealing the show than anything].

The other issue with the spitting gag is that it has been done many times before on this show.
The ending to the date was a fizzer, but other than that a good solid episode. Kevin is a bit of a stop gap, you know there is more to Barney/robin story and that Kevin is a fling. Takes the fun out, but I think he was hilarious.....

I thought that this was a greta ep and the best one of the season so far (I certainly laughed more with this one)
I like the whole researching Ted's dates and seeing him freak out at the potential secrets his date was hiding was a lot of fun. Also, it's always nice to see Robin and Barney together and the chemistry between the two characters really shone brightly. Also, I think that Kal Penn is getter better and better with each episode and I really enjoyed his parts...also whilst his blow up is similar to that of Roger in friends, they are two completely different charactars as Kevin isn;t as big an ass and tried to make up for his outburst straight away.
Overall a great ep!

I was more thinking about how this episode relates to a University of California study about the "Spoiler Paradox" with the theory of minds. Do you like or dis-like spoilers in advance?
The larger of majority of people prefer spoilers as it only makes it more engaging and anticipating.
