Reviewing The Fortress

Old habits die hard.

In this week's episode of How I Met Your Mother, titled, "the Fortress", Ted ends up finding another girl after posing as his friend Marshall's husband.

However, most of the episode revolves around Barney and Robin struggling with what to do about Barney's apartment.

After hosting an open house, Robin found a couple interesting in Barney's apartment. However, she revokes her offer after the couple wished to completely remodel the place.

Like all HIMYM episodes, there were several continuing story lines, such as Barney's "high-fives", his inventions (all labeled "By Stinson", Barney's last name), and Lily's new job working for the Captain.

The episode cleverly weaves these existing story lines into the new one, creating a comical and entertaining environment.

The use of the Jor-El head projector was particularly creative, as the title of the episode is a reference to Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
