I too think it's very realistic for Ted to have the occasional ONS. He is living in NYC afterall, you're practically tripping over beautiful girls here. And I don't know what guy says "no thank you" to a beautiful girl all the time. Well said. I too think it's very realistic for Ted to have the occasional ONS.

What's cool is going back to season 1 and seeing the sparks they had even then when Robin "suited up" for Barney while Ted was busy with Victoria. When Barney explained the reasons he and Robin should hook up, she paused and stated "Everything you said makes a lot of sense." I think they may planned this Barney/Robin arc from sometime early on for cues to be there the first season. From where I'm sitting, I'm enjoying the Season 4 eps as much I enjoy the Season 1 eps I'm watching the rest of the week. Well there is an arc this year… it's Robin/Barney.

It might be somewhat contradictory but it really is how a single guy of Ted's age thinks. You have the ideal and you have the right now. Lots to be said for both but you still work on finding the one. Back when I was looking for the "ONE" I often ended up with the "one right now," who more times than not was a college chick.

But, as this is the "Three days of snow" recap, I will concentrate in this episode. And honestly, together with "Wooo" and "Benefits", this is one of the best episodes this season. I would ven go as far as saying, that it is one of the best episodes of the entire show. Yes, it was corny and I cried at the end but oh, how wonderful it was at the same time. The comedy, the twist in the end and of course Carl and Ranjit (especially Ranjit!). It was all perfect. I also like the fact, that Robin and Marshall don´t have this super smoothly friendship and that he is the one who tells her things the others never would dare to say (even if he apologizes in the end). But yeah, coming from "the cold country of Canada" Robin should have known about the snow plough. That´s the only thing that bugged me a little. Apart from that: The episode was absolutely awsome!

Just like any person telling a really, reeeeeally long story, he will go back to tell some detail he forgot, i mean, this is the base that allow the stories to be told as in this episode, going back and forth. But with key events as the ones at the end of Benefits, it feels strange. But i'm sure sooner or latter, they will deal with that. Awesome idea? Having that story unfold in the "Goat" episode. Is anyone else as curious as i am about that particular event? I usually take these continuity glitches as future Ted's fault.

I'll have to check the exceptions, amendments and side notes though. There's really a lot of stuff in there. But still that would reffer to Ted not telling Robin about Barney's feelings, Ted can talk Barney about it, although i believe he'll give it some time. And yes, this episode seems to be out of order. Little Minnesota was around Xmas time and this one seems to be just after New Years Eve or, as the guy that sell's Lilly the beer states, its still January. Benefits happens in "the winter of 2009" according to future Ted. I can't recall any other reference as to wich time it is. i just ran by the whole book and that particular rule is not in there. at least not in the main 150 articles.

Why would they rent a car when they spend their time in taxis? All seems to indicate that its Robin's but from the gangs reaction when Ted bought his car i wouldn't expect any of them to have one. Maybe it is a lowner an John Darc said but again, why ask for a borrowed car when they use taxis all the time? Are the taxis stoped because of the snow? But wouldn't any snow storm big enough to stop taxis stop traffic entirely? God, this is like a Moebius strip... If it's Marshall's car, why is Robin driving it?

And the fact that he drinks a glass of wine - when we usually see him drink a pint of beer - and overdo the swirling thing - reminds so much of Okay Awesome. Btw I loved the way he jumped by the window at that time just like I adooore the "she totally hit on me" in this episode.
