HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: ‘Architect of Destruction’ Introduces Jennifer Morrison

October 19, 2010 by  

For years, we’ve known Jennifer Morrison as the serious, young doc they call “Cameron” on HOUSE.

She’s got a super passionate fanbase.

She’s pretty damn hot.

And she can do drama.

But can she pull off comedy?

After last night’s episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, in which Morrison’s new character Zoey — a quirky activist chick who is adamantly against the destruction of this old New York building which is supposed to be torn down so that Ted’s new design of the GNB headquarters can be erected — was introduced, I would say, yeah, job well done.

You too?

Zoey and Ted facing off for weeks to come — show co-creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have promised they’ll become bitter enemies — opens a whole slew of hilarious storyline possibilities — I really hope they pull some shameful pranks and tricks on each other.

And, after it’s all over, maybe they’ll make out too.

What do you think?

Yes? No? Would you even want to see that?

    Well surely its too early yet??!!
    I think she did great, I think Jennifer has great chemistry with Josh and it will be interesting to see what and where they go with this character!

    Personally didnt have a problem with her, cant wait to see more….

    It was ok, but I found the whole story a little forced. I don’t know what to think yet. I’m not that impressed by her I guess. Since we know she can’t be the mother I don’t see her purpose on the show. I really don’t want Ted to just have a new girlfriend (again!) I want him to finally meet the mother! Its starting to get boring the way they do this 😛

    I liked her in House but she is pretty bad doing comedy. She didn´t deliver. It´s early to talk about a casting mistake but…i´m not holding my breath.

    “But can she pull off comedy?”
    Oh yes, she can! I think Jennifer was great. Zoey is so funny, and it’s great to know that she’ll be in 12 more episodes, can’t wait to see how things work out. It’s going to be fun either way!

    My verdict (only so far) was “meh”! She was ok…mind you I don’t watch House (yes, I will hang my head in shame now) so I had no pre-conceived notions of Jennifer but I thought she did just ok….time will tell how great she really is for both Ted and the show.

    On another note, Geoff Stults was as fabulous and handsome as always, no?!

    Her scenes were boring. She didn´t make me laugh at all. It´s pretty obvious that she can´t do comedy.

    I never watched House so I don’t know the actress well but I was convinced in her first episode of HIMYM
    I think she’s great as Zoey

    Jennifer Morrison was boring as Zoey. I was looking forward to her arc but now i´m just disappointed. She isn´t a great comedy actress.
