Barney and his suits! His love for them is demonstrated in this wonderful episode. I am not very much into men in suits as well. But even though Barney is hot in the jeans he completely convinced me that nothing suits him like a suit. I loved to see Tim Gunn in this episode. Who else would one run to to save a suit? And the musical section at the end was just epic.

It was also fun how at the 100th episode they started again the talk about mother. And Ted was actually in the same apartment with her! Rachel Bilson was a nice guest star as mother's roommate. I actually felt bad for her, and now I wonder even more how great this mother must be.

I think this is my favorite episode so far in the fifth season. On one hand we have Barney's newest exploration/fascination of the fairer sex and on the other we have Ted getting closer to "the Mother" and a much bigger reminder of what the show is all about... Because lets face it, sometimes we forget.

The first half of the episode we have Barney chasing a hot bartender and strangely finding himself in a situation of choosing between girls and suits. The scene where Barney is suiting up in the bathroom being similar to that scene in Pulp Fiction where John Travolta is doing drugs is hilarious. Though it is nothing compared to Barney singing "Nothing Suits me Like a Suit". The entire sing-along was very clever and so in character. The other part of the episode is Ted going on a date with Cindy the "Mother's" roommate. This is a reminder to the audience that Ted still has yet to meet the "Mother". It was really great how Ted was in Cindy's bedroom and picked out the three things that had been borrowed from the "Mother", given to Cindy by the "Mother" or was the "Mother's". All in all this was a great episode 100th filled with sweet moments (when Ted sees the "Mother's" foot), great laughs (Barney mourning the "death" of his suit), and wicked singing (Barney's mini musical) Episode Highlights: The Girls vs Suits sing-along, Ted receiving the first description of his future wife ("She's a whore," given by Rachel Bilson who was a wonderful guest star), and the scene where Barney is going into withdrawal from not wearing a suit... he starts rubbing up against Marshal's suited arm and actually doling out a kiss. (Marshal lightly slaps his cheek to wake him up.)
