This has been one of the best episodes this season! I am a huge fan of HIMYM and have followed this show from day one. I hate how a lot of people are saying this episode was horrible because HIMYM is suppose to be a comedy and shouldn't contain sad things. I completely disagree. Yes, it may be a comedy but its so much more than that. This show has helped me through so much because I can relate to each and every character and most of their situations. The writers of this show are great at balancing the amount of happy and sad moments. I believe you need the sad to help you appreciate the good. The timing of Marvin's death was very well written. Throughout this season we have watched Marshall's relationship with his father and this shows us that anything can happen and to not take for granted the time we have with the people we love.
I must admit, i did not notice the countdown the first time I watched this episode because I was too focused on the characters. but I did notice it the second time I watched and I loved the countdown. It was fun to spot hidden numbers and sad because i knew what was going to happen when the countdown ended.
anyways, overall it was a great episode. I can't wait to see what happens next.
