Alysson and Alexis tying the knot

Rumors had been flying for a bit but now it’s official: Alysson Hannigan and hubby Alexis Denisof are expecting their first baby together. The couple, who met on th set of good ol’ Buffy the Vampire Slayer, got hitched in 2003 and are ‘thrilled’ (can’t anyone ever think of another word? Scared witless for instance? I know, that’s two words…)

Great for them, but how will it affect the storyline? Are Marshall and Lily about to become proud parents? Won’t that be boring? Remember Ross and Rachel? Though we didn’t see that much of that baby.

Or will Lily wear big blousy things, hide her belly behind big objects and simply gain quite a bit of weight on the show? It’s all been  done before…..

HIMYM co-creator Carter Bays told TVGuide.com, “We are thrilled for Alyson and Alexis, and we know that they are going to be amazing parents. It’s too early to say how this will impact the show going forward, although we may have to push the ‘Lily wins a gold medal in gymnastics’ storyline to next season.”

Barney & Robin

Japan?!! Did you see the look on poor Barney’s face when Robin said she’d be moving to Japan?????
Just as I was hoping that this might be the end of Boring Stella (Sarah Chalke), because of the whole New Jersey-thing, by the way, what is up with that? Why was there absolutely no discussion possible? Why does Stella get to storm off and Ted just has to take it? I really don’t like her, hope she goes away. I will say it again: I like Sarah Chalke in Scrubs, but in HIMYM she’s just a dud. She never has any funny lines and she’s way too grown up for the others, probably because of the whole doctor and child-thing.

Anyway, what will happen with Robin and Barney? Will Barney finally admit to his feelings? Probably. But what will Robin do? And is it me, or is this more a Friends-situation than a HIMYM-situation? I LOVE Barney, I love that he tried to pick up a lesbian! I just sincerely hope they are not going to turn Barney&Robin into Ross&Rachel. Not sure Barney will be funny in a relationship.

I have the feeling, and I think there’s a lot of HIMYM-fans out there who share this sentiment, that the writing’s a bit off this season. Really hope it picks up and ditching Stella, and maybe bringing back Victoria? would be great.
