Had me crying like a baby at the end of it. When Lily told Marshall that his father had died, I openly started crying. Did not see that coming.

Speaking of doppelgangers, why did they dress Robin like Tina Fey?

Okay, just watched it.
Kinda figured something was going to happen to the dad the first time Marshall didn't call him. Got swerved after the parents visited, but then saw he had died after all. Sucks.
I'm surprised they didn't make a bigger deal about Barney's doppleganger. I suppose that was more Season 5 and, thus, is old news. Still, he got to interact with his doppleganger more than any of the others, although Lily did switch places with hers.
Loved the Robin montage. And she's so hot in glasses, although I miss her with straight hair.
And damn, I really want to get back on track with Ted's search for his wife. That story has become so secondary.

Oh, and who noticed the countdown? There was apparently some kind of countdown throughout the episode, with a bunch of numbers being referenced.

I'd also like to mention that I didn't notice the name of the episode ("Bad News") until after I watched it, so I was really, really blindsided by what happened. I'm still depressed

This will all lead to Barney wanting to meet his own father before it's too late.

Came out of no where. Watching Marshall excitingly tell Lily they can have a baby, then seeing his face as Lily, with tears in her eyes, breaks the news to him that his father had just died. That was so f***ing depressing. I didn't shed any tears, but I definitely felt like I just got punched in the stomach. I felt SO bad for Marshall.

But, I do think you're right about Barney likely seeking him out soon, they haven't followed up on the revelation that he knows who his father is
