HIMYM Barney

Lily and Marshall decide to have a baby, but Lily gets cold feet and calls on Robin and Ted to help her decide.

I like the way they portrayed the way people decide to have kids: Lily and Marshall are deep in debt, live in a crappy apartment, and work all hours of the day. Yet looking at a baby’s sock decides them on having a child. Yep. I’ve seen that happen. Soooo, Robin moves in with Ted, ey?
Well, she’s still aunt Robin, so I guess that’s not gonna happen (I’m still rooting for Barney&Robin, when’s that gonna happen?!) And I’m very glad Lily and Marshall aren’t having a baby. Come on, people having babies are boring!

Also nice to see Kevin’s dad (The Wonderyears!) again, though he didn’t get to do much.

Funny quotes:

Lily: “Baby me, Marshall, I’m ready!”

Robin to Ted “Every time you hear the word ‘kid’ you get two little lactation stains on your shirt.” (ouch!)

Barney:
“The cheerleader effect is when a group of women seems hot, but only as a group. It’s like with cheerleaders. They seem hot, but take each one individually: sled dogs. And that, my friends, is the cheerleader effect, also known as the brides maids paradox, and, for a brief period in the nineties, the Spice girls syndrome. Scary Spice indeed.”

Barney

Yes, they’re back! After three so-so episodes, though still one of the best things on tv at the moment, this was a GREAT episode, found myself laughing out loud.In this episode the gang’s moving out, Ted’s on his way to stepfatherhood and New Jersey, Lily&Marshall are moving to the sewage/money pit with the slanted floors, and Robin’s on her way to Japan. Barney’s not going anywhere, but he’s found a great new trick to pick up girls!

R2sweettooth, Barney in an old man suit sent from the future, all the interventions, it was AWE wait for it SOME. No Stella either, which is a good thing and a lot of new possibilities: so in one year someone will still be living in the apartment. We know Robin is living there, or at least her towel, so who else? Marshall and Lily? Ted? Barney? Hmmm. Interesting.

And will Robin still go to Japan?

For all you sidereelers out there: the Megavideo links, alas, are not what they used to be and the sound was waaaay out of sink. Try this one

It’s not often that I am actually waiting for a series to start again. The third season of 24, yes. The season premiere of Dynasty after they ALL got shot during the wedding in Moldavia: sure. And back when North an South was first on tv I literally couldn’t sleep the night before it was on again (I had it bad for Patrick Swayze)(and I have been mocked for it ever since. My best friend even managed to work it into his wedding service!)The new HIMYM-series was not the stuff of North and SOuth, I slept fine, thank you, but yeah, I was kinda curious to see how Barney woes Robin. They’d make such a great couple!

Also I think HIMYM is one of the funniest things on tv right now. I am so glad they just sit around and drink a lot and not just coffee!

That’s one of the things that always bummed me out about Friends: the endless coffee.

HIMYM is sharp, funny and to coin a phrase: awesome. It makes me want to call my friends and go out. So I guess it’s a bit of a surrogate for actually going out with my friends since I am 2000 km away from them. Still: great show!

Not a big Ted-and-Stella fan I must admit. And if she’s the kids’ mother wouldn’t her name ring a bell?
And they’d have a stepsister, who’d be excluded from this family-bonding thing. So no, I do not think Stella is the mom. I don’t like her much, I prefer her in Scrubs, maybe it’s the hair, but something’s off with hr face in this haircut. Anyway I liked the cupcake girl who went to Germany, can we have her back?

Watch the episode
