Last night's episode was not one of my favorites. I don't know, I just felt like the whole episode was nothing but a big neon sign saying "TED AND ROBIN WON'T LAST". We all know that Robin isn't the "mother" in question but did they have to ram that down our throats in only the 3rd episode? Geez, let Ted and Robyn have a little bit of happiness before they start breaking them up already.
The scenes with Lily & Marshall were pretty funny tho. Those two just need to stop being stubborn and go ahead and get back together already!
Barney wanting Ted's parents to love him more than Robin, and succeeding, was sort of funny too.
I liked this week's episode. It felt more all-around funny in a way that I remember last season being.
And I guess I'm late to the party here, but I was finally struck with how great Alyson Hannigan looks with the darker hair (thinking this is more her natural color. The red always seemed inconsistent and a little fake).
And before I start getting accused, I happened to make this observation BEFORE Lily showed up to tease Marshall with her boobs.
I agree that the writers are drawing too much attention to the main device of the show and causing unessesary complications for Ted and Robin this early. I realize that they don't end up together but it's conceivable that they could remain a couple for a long while.
As it stands the way the show presented it, it's "the mother isn't Robin because the kids called her 'Aunt Robin' so we have to do everything we can to make sure that relationship ends."
Let it happen naturally is what i'm saying.
Loved the Marshall and Lily stuff, though, and Alyson continues to amaze at how great she looks, she's certaintly come a long way since Willow Rosenberg.
I was about to tear Ted a new one for cheating on Robin until I discovered what was really going on. Robin both gained and then lost points for her taste in movies. Points, MAJOR points, for liking Die Hard and then she immediately lost those points for disliking Field of Dreams.
Lily and Marshall continue to be broken up for typical tv show-created reasons and Marshall got in a couple of good quips with Barney tonight lol. When Robin was given that girls address and became all flustered, a very flattering look for Cobie I might add, I was primed for a catfight but alas it was not to be. :frowning:
I'm really liking Ted and Robin as a couple, they have very good chemistry together IMO.
Just picturing that building Ted was describing was enough to make me lol!
Totally! I really adored Cobie in the first season, but not so much now (she looks different!)... But Alyson Hannigan... like seeing someone familiar in a new way!
But not as good as the "La-Z-Bowl" recliner from the Man's Bathroom on "Tool Time".
And somebody needs to get Barney a copy of Aiva or DVE. Both his TV sets are obviously in serious "torch mode". From the look of things they could double was tanning lamps.
Another great episode. But I sure hope that Lilly doesn't have to stay in that apartment much longer. Even with all the stuff she took from Barney's apartment it's still pretty pathetic and she's gonna have major back problems if she keeps sleeping on that bed.
