Another continuity error to point out when Ted and Stella are dating she tells him that her first time was in Sophomore year of college while in this episode she says she was pregnant with Lucy by 19. Look it up ^.^

Cheers

Sorry – my bad. Like I said, I might have missed it. Yes, I did see the episode, but I must not have heard that. My intention was not to imply that you're stupid.

Hey guys just a quiery as to how many people from different countries uses this site?
I myself am an Aussie yet love reading up on the episodes each week. Unfortunatley our channel 7 is currently still way behind. This week they showed barney with his pyjama suit. Only way i get to see up to date eps are to download them. but i do buy the box sets for each season as they come out to help to support the show.
So how many people from different countries do we have using this site?

I think Cobbie will have the kid during the hiatus, she's expecting to give birth during this spring. So, unless she takes an extended leave, there won't be any need to make Robin disapear. And frankly, it would take a lot more than the peanut butter- jam joke to make Robin go. Unlike Lilly, she would find that one funny.

Have you seen the episodes? I'm not so stupid that i believe the date on the show is the same date in real life. But when the episode starts with THE MAIN CHARACTER SAYING ITS MAY 2009, i tend to think that the episode is taking place in May 2009. Simple, isn't it?

Just because it May IN REAL LIFE, doesn't mean that it's May yet on the show. Nothing says today's date has to equal the date on the show. I might have missed it, but I haven't heard any of the characters reference the date, so why is it so hard to believe that maybe in HIMYMland, it's still April?

Seasons 1 & 2 were significantly better. I think they are mistakenly sheading the history of Barney as they mature his character. Sure he's growing up and thinking about settling down with Robin, but he did say he would never have anything such as a "tautry list" of women he's banged (hence the scrapbook) and he can't drive. How does a character go from being terrified behind the wheel at 5 mph to getting 15 moving violations in three days? I love this show but the lack of continuity is defintely upsetting.

They definitely should have explained how Bareny learned to drive, even if it was just a line of narration. I feel like the Carter brothers are leaving holes everywhere.

The truth about Hollywood is that when it comes to timelines, I haven't seen too much in the way of dates on this show. Therefore, it is ENTIRELY conceivable that this might all be around April 3rd! And even though I was wrong about the Stella thing in last week's post, as it turns out, she still had a part to play in the whole thing.

My one big thing is I am wondering if they will do the same thing to Cobie (Robin) that they did to Allyson (Lily). Does "The Barnacle" come up with a story WORSE than the "Peanut Butter" joke? And how, if they take that road, will it affect the Barney/Robin subplot?

I've always liked Stella. She clearly isn't right for Ted, but I like her as a character, and Sarah Chalke as an actress. I really don't get all the Stella hate.

Tony, on the other hand – he's very funny, but I can't say I like him. He doesn't seem to be very bright, and he comes across as really selfish.

Even if they do that and the story for the last episode happens on April 25th, wich, since this is told from the future and, as in the last 3 episodes of season 2, they can back up and in the story line, that doesn't change the fact that Stella can't be there. He only met her on the street corner in May. So, once more, with feeling… "STELLA CAN'T BE AT TED'S 31st BIRTHDAY PARTY!" (unless she's gotten her hands on the afore-mentioned red matter!)

"Everybody come and play…". ROFL

Or maybe they just say that the finale takes place on April 25th. Not that hard to do.

It really is a pretty simple explanation. There are some continuity things that are harder to explain away, but this one really isn't. The Fiero stuff was a flashback, and obviously could have been a long time ago, I agree.

this episode was far superior to last season's penultimate one.

I think these episodes served to do what the writers wanted to do back when Stella left Ted at the altar but couldn't because of Sarah Chalke's commitment to Scrubs. It brings some closure that the "we're hidding under a tabble 'till she leaves" episode didn't. Maybe Ted will eventually accept that position as teacher and the mother works at that college too or he's invited by Tony to do some design work for his movie and meets the mother in the movie staff. There's a world of possibilities. And FYI, i love Stella, dispite what she did, and i love Sarah Chalke, she's awesome… ROFL with the whole french girl just like Stella but with bigger cans… Chalke plays these over the top sexy fantasy girls so well.

Actually, Ted's birthday is April 25th. Maybe Stella has gotten her hands on some Red Matter and goes back in time…

I'm so glad someone else caught that! My husband didn't when we were watching

Nice drama, too little funny. But there were some good lol's. I really liked Stella's speech to Ted and can forgive her a little, and I think Ted does the same. He's a romantic, he cannot stand in someone's way to 'the one'. Can't wait till the Leap to see where this is headed.

P.S. Noobs to the blog, we've had the whole Barney driving discussion before. It slightly bothered me when Moving day aired, but when you discount the Barney's Blog content as not canon to the show, and realize that the famous scene in Arriverderci Fiero is before the series started it's reasonable that Barney can now drive. And I bet that he learned to do so to get in some girls pants.

A so-so episode, but I really cannot wait for the finale ..

Ted's 31st Birthday will be next week. I understand that the actual "day" is May 3rd (IIRC), but is it so Dr. Horrible to believe that they used that episode for sweeps?

Plus, next week's is the one that got filmed way back in January or something. And it's the real "Goat" story (provided Ted "Bob Saget" Mosby didn't have a senile lapse in judgement once again), so that should be a triple-threat-count-again scenario for everyone.

Here's the big question: what's the big cliffhanger? Or rather, WILL there be one? Season 3 was the only one that finished totally unresolved, and in fact the show has NOT officially been picked up for Fall (although it seems unlikely to think that it won't be, but they may be planning a Winter re-launch due to the two pregnancies).

Also I'm pretty certain that tonight's footnote was filmed sometime in the past several weeks, after Hannigan gave birth to Sandy Rivers Jr.

Ahoy I have written a lot.

He's been seen driving before. See "Moving Day" and "The Bracket" for more on that.
