Warning: Full spoilers from the episode to follow.
With How I Met Your Mother’s season finale fast approaching, we’ve begun to see more and more boxes being ticked as things wind down to Barney and Robin’s wedding — particularly for Barney, who’s really done a lot of growing up this season. This week, however, was one of the biggest shakeups yet, as the idea of Barney finally moving out of his bachelor-tastic apartment was tackled head-on.
In concept, this seemed like a reasonable idea. After all, we’ve seen Barney slowly strip away many of his vices in Season 8, including his beloved Playbook, so the prospect of moving out of his apartment was kind of inevitable. (We can’t all keep life-si e stormtroopers on display forever.) Unfortunately, “The Fortress” saw this as an opportunity to showcase a revolving door of goofy and impossible “patent pending” house fixtures, as well as some pretty heinous visual effects. The worst offender was Barney’s rotating bed set up, which was easily one of the most far-reaching bits we’ve seen on the show, and not in a daring, innovative way.
