Queerview television guide for May 14th

Happy Monday, folks -- whether your hangover is figurative (from high concentrations of Mom) or literal (from the Bloody Marys that sometimes accompany such concentrations), these gay TV picks should help shake off the cobwebs.

How I Met Your Mother (CBS) 8:00PM EDT
Well, this one may just be worth tuning in for as it could be the last appearance of Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), depending on whether the show gets picked up for another season. And who doesn't love a wedding episode?

Heroes (NBC) 9:00PM EDT
Out gay actor George Takei returns as Hiro's father, a stern Japanese businessman that we now know has much more to do with the genetic wonders than we first realized. Hiro and Dr. Sulu in a swordfight -- what could be better? Well, maybe if they killed off Nikki. BOOOOO-RING... Anyway, the chances of Takei engaging in tonight's swordfight barechested (as he did in the above Star Trek episode) are pretty slim, but hopefully the image will now be stuck in your head and will make tonight's show that much more enjoyable.
