Another monday till 3.30 for me

I am wondering… if JD does not open another thread, what about posting in the forum rather than here?

getting up at 3:30 am is what I call commitment! I am excited because I don’t have my 9pm client this evening so I will be able to watch it when I get home around 930.

hehe, debating muscles, i like that
and: hell yeah! i’m setting my alarm clock to 3:30 german time (to make sure it’s up by then) and rockin’ slapsgiving! i hardly ever to that and instead watch the show in the morning (did it last for the season premiere) but slapsgiving is worth it..or at least it should be but i have total faith in the writers with this one!!

Im with you Katie! I used to not like this site because I thought it was a little too harsh, but I have grown to like it a lot. I also enjoy having conflicting opinions because it flexes my debating muscles!

guys, notice how this site has become just as much ours as it is JDs? i mean, just read these comments, basically everyone on here has already written a review at least the length of JDs weekly musings this has become a fun little community and while i’m truly sorry JD’s not around like he used to, the lack of someone posting has really driven us to discuss more, i kind of like it

Okay, so I just wanted to add myself to the international fanbase! HIMYM is a popular show here in sweden aswell

About the episode: I’m not sure if I have anything new to add to the comments of this weeks episode. But I too feel like the break-up of Swarkles is treated as if it just is something the writers want us to forget, or maybe even something they’d like to undo… I mean, it’s the episode right after their break up and they’re already hinting that Robin soon will meet someone new and (probably) important, and Barney has very quickly gone back to being.. well, Barney.

I’m not complaining (of obvious reasons), but I liked Barney when he was human you know, with real feelings. It just added more dimension to his character, made him more believable. I would’ve liked maybe just one episode where Barney goes through all the things you typically go through when you’ve broken up with someone, but in his own way. The guy hasn’t broken up with anyone during his life as Barney as we know him; it would have been natural for him to feel a little insecure So yeah – an episode where we see how Barney copes with the break-up – imagine the hilarious breakdowns, the drunken phonecalls, the meaningless one night-stands where he calls the girls Robin… anything!!

I’m sure it would’ve been great, and as I said, it would have been more believeable. But, I guess it’s okay, I love Barney and the episode WAS great (“He’s not coming… She’s not coming?”)!

I was so pissed off at that article because i felt they were making excuses for their crappy writing and failing to make Barney and Robin Legendairy! However, I was happy that Bays said their story isn’t over, but I am not holding out any hope that it will happen anytime in the near future.

Can’t wait for Slapsgiving!
