Yes, he's a manslut, but he's still human! He's not a robot! He can feel love, and boy is he fighting it- hard. This seems MORE realistic to me than if he never ever had real feelings for anyone. Who goes through their entire life like that? And I'm glad they're mixing up the plot a bit because I would be sad if it were like The Office- such a wonderful show that passed its prime and isn't really going anywhere. This keeps things fresh.

No more baby bump hiding (but Alyson and Cobie's breasts were Huuuuuge... didn't you notice? I'm a girl but it still was striking to me!) I'm a bit afraid for the "lonely Ted" part since now it will be 2+2+1 (who will be Ted's wingman???)... But I actually laughed more in the Ted scenes than in the rest of the epiode (P.R.O.F___?) And we can still see wingman-outrageous Barney in flashback scenes (as the tuxedo night one)... sooo for now RoBarn is not that bad for the comic effect... I'm totally sure Lilly has something to do with Mashall's Bro + hockey tickets comeback... Fun episode, glad they're back!

Greatest.) so last night's awesome ep gave me a taste of what will probably never come true. And I love seeing Ted in a new professional arena. Both story lines give the show fresh legs so as the actors are hitting their prime as the characters, we're getting to see them in new and realistic life situations. Good stuff.

I'm not sure you quite get what 'jumping the shark' means. If Barney continued his streak of hitting on women the character would either dry up or become painful comic relief. Plus, it's been established in Barneys background that he is capable of romance/love etc. Infact it was the failing of that romance that turned him into suit wearing awesome Barney.

His reaction to them being together was fully awkward and just like his seat at the bar table, he's now kind of out of the loop.

During the quiet while Barney and Robin walk away from the stoop, there is no voice over narration. But the closed captioning says (I'm paraphrasing from memory"), "And that, kids, is the story of how Uncle Barney and Aunt Robin became boyfriend and girlfriend." So, if you're deaf, you left the episode with a different take. And if you can hear, but your wife makes you watch everything with the captions turned on, then you don't know which to believe.

Looks like Marshall still has a slight man crush on his former brunch bro. -The music for when Barney and Robin were in the bedroom proclaiming their feelings for each other I believe was the same song they played when Barney was going to tell Ted that he was in love with Robin but ended up running into Robin instead and having to tell her that he loves tacos. That was a great scene last season, and I'm glad they pulled that same song for this moment this season. -Everything about Ted's teaching segment was hilarious... "Who invited their dad?" and "SILENCE!!!" stand out as the top moments. I love how the writers let us in on the joke before Ted finds out, allowing the viewer to really enjoy Ted burying himself up there. Can't wait for next week.

As per usual, I was watching at the gym, and I can't imagine how silly I look, bursting out laughing, or clapping, or saying "awww" and sighing - when no one else can hear the TV show.
