If How I Met Your Mother is the Lost of sitcoms, and it is, then there must sometimes be storylines in which the main characters are separated by circumstances. If How I Met Your Mother is the Lost of sitcoms, and it is, then there must sometimes be episodes that mainly serve to set the table plotwise for future episodes. “Rebound Bro” was one of those, so I have less than usual to say about it—though I did enjoy Will Forte’s stint as Barney’s awkward substitute wingman. (“What’s your favorite thing about koala bears?” “Their… meat is delicious.”) I hope Barney is reunited with the gang soon, though, as the whole isolated B-story robbed us of one of the best aspects of his character—seeing the rest of the group react to him.

Oh, and why is Ted angry at Barney and not at Robin? Is it strictly a bro thing?
