As it’s my favorite night of the week, it’s time for some HIMYM. Well, a repeat at least. I’m eating some yummy cheesecake brownie ice cream since I skipped lunch to do some interviews today, so even a repeat sounds good to give me a break from studying. I could use some, as it seems that I’ve been going through a little bit of a rough patch in my life in general, just like Barney and Robin in this episode.
Hmm. I’m surprised that Barney gave up his porn at the beginning of the episode, even if he is in a committed relationship. But I wasn’t surprised that Ted wanted to keep it. I liked how they brought up the idea of “relationship gut,” and commented that Lily had it, NOT Marshall. I really liked that Lily stole won, and that the video magically flew into the VCR.
I liked that Barney recorded over the porn to leave a message to Ted, that’s so something Barney would do. And he would totally record his own porn.
Aww it’s making me sad to watch Barney and Robin fall apart. I really don’t want this, although I liked the line “I’m my own wing tonight!” as he ate wings, and how it was exaggerated to make them seem like they were really falling apart.
“What’s the nice word for selfish?” “Independent.” This made me giggle. But ew, fat Barney looks so weird. I can’t picture Barney ever saying “I’m glad that’s almost over,” to sex. I just can’t. It isn’t possible. And no, Marshall, please don’t break them up! I know it’s going to happen but I just don’t want it.
I do like, however that they tried to use an engagement right to break them up, and that it failed. I loved that Lily hated that they were getting married but was excited to be a Maid of Honor. And I really don’t feel like Lily should attempt one last break up.
I liked that Barney and Robin had 4 distinct relationship fights. And that Lily had named them. And then combined them into one gigantic event. My favorite was the robot. I liked that they convinced Meg to show by making her think Barney was going to propose to her. I LOVED that it had no effect on them, because they’re in love. And that it was really just a rough patch. And the robot asked if they wanted to go get high with them. But wait a second—that’s not what really happened.
Aw, HIMYM, why’d you have to bring me down. They do break up, because they’re each too awesome. I liked that here they decided they were “two friends getting back together.” Too bad it seems, like in the latest episode, Robin seemed to be taking it too hard. I’m hoping they turn back to their old selves, if I can’t have them together. Sigh.
