Season 5 of the sitcom starts with Ted (Josh Radnor) starting his new job as an architecture professor at Columbia University. Meanwhile, infamous commitment-phobes Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) commence dating, even though neither of them understands what they prefer out of a relationship; and Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) wonder if they have a baby. Memorable visitor stars include Jennifer Lopez and Carrie Underwood.
Rachel Bilson has a small function as the roommate of Ted’s future wife. It used to be a season of ups and downs, with a handful of amazing standalone episodes sandwiched within so-so storylines (and one that did not work at all). The thinking of “doppelgangers” became no longer just a walking gag, but the theme of the season as well, as the crew matured and changed and regarded the chances of becoming distinct people.
