Just watched the ep where Lily and Marshall row over their childs name;
1. Nice to see Becky back although she's still wetter than the Everglades (or Queensland), a not so subtle dig at the dumbing down/bimbofication of tv news
2. Suits Ted though and once again we see his shallowness, Barney really is having a very bad affect on him
3. I agree, the 'who's your daddy?' thing always creeped me out (as Xander points out to Warren). Although Barney's little boy schtick is actually creepier
4. Lily's suggestion for a girls name is 'Tara'? a not so subtle shout out to the Buffy fans
5. Why in his flashback does Marshall have a cane? I'd have thought he was injured but he runs away just fine
6. I did actually go to an Esther like show once and I wouldn't recommend it

7. I actually think Marshall and Lily's stripper schoolgirl daughter and Barney's mommy freak are 2 of the most beautiful women they've ever had on the show and that's saying something. Check out how much she looks like Alysson in the wedding scene. That said I don't buy the whole 'strippers have daddy issues' thing, I interviewed a couple once for my degree and they were just very ordinary girls who loved to dance and made a ton of money doing it.
8. Older botoxed Barney is great, we should check out NPH is 20years and see if it's accurate.
All told my favourite ep so far this season
