I also feel that the writers have screwed up the characters of barney and robin. Bringing them together at first seemed to be fun, but its ruining the show now. The intensity of the performances has also gone down except on the part of josh radnor. Lily's character this season sucks. She was way better in the previous seasons, but her authority in decicing who shoul be dating whom is quite annoying. Hope the writers improve the flow of the story.

Only now she has fewer redeeming moments of hilarity I like that, depsite how annoying it may be, the show's portrayal of Lily and Marshall lately is (sadly) realistic. Anyone who's lost friends to the cult of marriage will understand :P As for Robin and Barney... I am conflicted. I agree there's little chemistry. But hey, isn't this show based on Carter and Bays' real lives? Hm... I don't think they will last though And isn't Ted secretly weirded out by their relationship? Either he's matured a LOT and truly moved on, or... he'll have a break down soon. I don't think you can ever truly mov eon from something like that. Well that was a slow reply, we're way behind her ein Australia :( I'm off to watch Ep 6 now! Thank you internet. And keep up the good work JD! I love this site and have come to find reading your recaps to be a necessary part of the HIMYM process (speaking of, where's the one for this episode?) :) x -loyal reader, loyal watcher, first time contributor-

I know you got into with some commenters last week, but why haven't you kept up the blog? Listen, just because some people disagree with you and make themselves known doesn't mean you should quit. I love this blog, and I miss it. I know you say that the real strength comes from the commenters, but you're wrong. It's your recaps that make me think about the episodes and catch little jokes I would have missed out on by myself. I think this is the best show on television (aside from Texas Longhorns football), and it is in no way in danger of being cancelled. Say what you want man, it's your effing website. -Zach JD-

Even Ted's getting annoyed by their coupley-ness... demonstrated the most in duel citizenship, but hinted at in a few other episodes in season 5 (and the idea of marriage turning you into that has been pushed on average of once every thirteen minutes since the very beginning of the series) As annoying as they are, the fact that the writers have got all the characters noticing leads me to think it could be intentional (and could even come into play in the show at some point) One thing to bear in mind about Lily (and Marshall) getting annoying is that not only are we noticing it, but so are the characters in the show.
