How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Episode 13 Someone on the writing staff must have realized that Bill really didn’t have anything to do last season, because he’s been the center of all the action so far. He’s also been surprisingly badass, quickly escaping his kidnappers, feeding off an old lady while remaining a Southern gentleman, and even getting into a werewolf fight scene! (though we don’t get to see that until next week.) After the show literally had nothing for Bill to do last season other than argue with How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Episode 13 Lorena, I began to wonder whether he would be written off. Which would be terrible, because Bill's bowl cut and "Southern" accent are the largest source of unintentional humor on the show. Fortunately the issue seems less with Bill as a character, and more with giving him something interesting to do. Bill’s perpetual scowl makes more sense when he’s in actually dangerous situations, and his unflappable Southern gentleman attitude is more interesting when he’s politely feeding off old women or coldly informing his kidnappers of his impending death. From this episode, at least, it seems like the writers have finally got a handle on Bill, and I think it may require keeping him away from .
How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Episode 13 ALT, on the other hand, remains a tertiary character on her own show. She spends the entire night wandering from reoccurring character to reoccurring character, asking about Bill. It’s mostly just done to reintroduce the cast, and to set up a situation whereinevitably has to go to Eric for help. There's a decent scene betweenand the Sheriff where he refuses to look for Bill while there’s a murder investigation going on. The whole “vampire racism” metaphor the show likes to use is not always appropriate because it forgets that vampires are actually dangerous, and How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Episode 13 being afraid of something that’s a deadly predator is more common sense more than prejudice. But it works pretty well here since Bill is clearly in danger that the police are ignoring because they prioritize human life. Its easy to see where the sheriff is coming from, but he’s still in the wrong. 's heavy-handed How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Episode 13 lecturing at him about respecting his elders was really silly though. She gets into these arguments a lot, shouldn’t she be better at it by now?
