This is great writing , awesome acting – this is just hammergeil!

Why did himym have a break this week?

“Shelter Island”, “Come on”, Slapsgiving, LAME’s wedding, Trip to Atlantic City, The one about the burger and the one about the matching company…

Off-topic: is there a HIMYM OST ?

Since Lily’s expression “you’ll be under her skirt like an old photographer”, to the ending (perfect song!!), passing by the Robing and the monkey scene

Btw, is it just me or Barney is one of the luckiest bastards in the world?

And Come On is my all time favorite HIMYM episode and probably my favorite episode of any TV show ever, I’m kind of surprised at the lack of love for it on these top 10 lists. I remember after the season 1 DVD came out I probably watched it 5 or 6 times in about two weeks because I kept being overwhelmed by its awesomeness.

P.S. NPH slays me with the looks he keeps giving.

Other than that – perf! I literally screamed with glee when they played Zinchdog (or whatever) in the car.

I desperately hope Robin and Ted end up together. But it’s true, I don’t think she can end up the mother without compromising the integrity of the show (i.e. Dallas dream sequence!). Maybe Ted has kids, gets divorced and will end with telling the kids he’s really in love with Aunt Robin and they’re going to be together? I don’t want Ted to have to have a broken family…but for Robin…might be worth it.

I skimmed the comments, so not sure if anyone else caught this. Last season at the very end of Ted’s birthday episode (no, I don’t know the official name) when the goat is in the bathroom, he says something to the effect of the goat was eating Robin’s washcloth, oh wait, Robin wasn’t living there for my 30th birthday, the goat was at my 31st. Meaning (to me at least) Robin would be living in that apartment for Ted’s birthday this season. I think she moves there when she comes back to NYC.

And this is coming from the biggest Scrubs fan out there where I adore Sarah Chalke as Elliott Reed, but I HATED her on this show. I didn’t like her personality, her life, or her with Ted at all. I was SO happy to see her run with HIMYM would be ending early this season, so I knew they couldn’t end up together.

Can’t WAIT for next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robin will bear Ted’s children, but they will divorce and he will re-marry.

I’ll slap bet anyone on this site on it.

It’s gonna be awesome.

J.D. – though I loved the episode, I wouldn’t quite name it the best of the series. I still think that the best of the series was probably either Slapsgiving or Nothing Good Happens After 2am. But this is top 5 for sure. It’s probably right on par with Slutty Pumpkin in my mind.

I think everyone generally loves episodes like this because they reach into the characters’ psyches and work them out verbally as opposed to minuscule actions that we may or may not see play out on a general basis and that people turn into something perhaps larger than it really is. I loved Robin so goddamn much in this episode. I just wanted to sit her down and propose to her right there. I’ve been having discussions with people lately about relationships and whatnot, and here’s how it relates to HIMYM….I think ultimately, Ted is looking for a girl that challenges him. And as well he should be. He’s a bright, witty, fairly handsome bro that just gets shafted all of the time. He’s always correcting people, but you can see he wants to be corrected. He’s gone for two women that obviously didn’t want to be involved with him in the beginning and took it on as something that needed to happen. Stella didn’t challenge him really. The only challenge was her child, the rest was just concessions. Victoria didn’t challenge him in any way, shape, or form. Robin’s been the only one that gave him a consistent look at what he can be, both present and future tense. And I think ultimately that’s going to be the deciding factor on how the mother is chosen. That’s the only reason I think Robin will come back (and so will Ted for that matter)….and I’ll be upset if they write someone in that doesn’t make Ted be everything he obviously is.

I didn’t start watching the show till last month, and for one week crammed all 4 seasons viewing session. It’s truly an amazing show with great characters.

Personally I’ve always liked Robin and Ted together, fantastic chemistry on screen. So I hope it’s leading to hope that she is someway the mother but realistically I doubt that anyway that she is the mom or even with Ted at the end.

Zitch dog reference was hilarious,

Can’t wait till the next episode.
