classic example of Robin ruining her friend's or exboyfriend's relationship.Victoria is so right when she said Robin is the reason for Ted failed relationships.How come Robin say she still has feelings for Barney and When Barney reciprocates the same for her she selfishly did not tell Kevin the truth about "that night" and ruins Barney-Nora relationship.I hope Barney never takes Robin back.

Does anyone else see a parallel between how Robin is acting now and how Stella was acting when she was dating Ted? Both are/were trying to convince themselves that they aren't in love with the people they are in love with by dating someone "better." I'm hoping the show makes this explicit in coming episodes to let Robin realize exactly where she stands, and what she's setting Kevin up for.

This was a really good episode but I have mixed feelings about its end. I've always loved Barney and Robin together but it's disappointing to see him end things with Nora because she's the one who really changed him for the better. I guess you love who you love and Barney realized he loved Robin. I think the next couple of episodes will be really interesting on how the two work around their circumstances. Doesn't look like we'll be seeing Nora again so Robin better be Barney's bride!

Great episode. Highlights: the return of sandwiches, Marshall leaning towards Lilly instead of Ted, it was only 2 mins, the guitar guy was a cut-out, the nachos were from the garbage, Lilly's reaction to the garbage nachos, Barney's scenes, and Kevin at the hospital.

i could understand why robin decided to stay with kevin (for now lol), because she didn't know Barney would break things off with Nora and there was no reason for her to leave kevin for still liking Barney (and yes, cheated with).
but today, kevin's speech was a deal breaker.
Although i'm barbin shipper, i was glad they didn't get together so soon because there is a season 8 to think about and that guy with ugly shirt robin met awhile back to go through before they can settle for sure
hang in there, barney~

I really liked the Barney/Robin scenes in this episode.
I love how Barney realizes how its always been Robin.
This quote is my favorite of the nite:
"When you meet the right person you know it,you can't stop thinking about them.They're your best friend and your soulmate. You can't wait to spend the rest of your life with them. No one and nothing else can compare."
Robin, I think, was running from the chance that Barney is just going to hurt her. Or she hasn't realized how Barney is her soulmate.
I hope Barney doesn't give up on Robin.
I am looking forward to next week's episode in the aftermath.

Marshall and Ted nailed it as always... I was laughing so hard when I found out only two minutes had passed and they had made it seem like 2 hours had passed!!!!!

Is it me or does Robin need to leave the group?! Ted's ex told him he won't find love with his weird relationship with her and now Barney has lost out on the one woman who had a wonderful loving relationship with n vice versa over Robin. Honestly I always thought Barney & Nora were the real thing as opposed to what Robin had with Kumar. My heart broke for Barney...hope Nora gives him another chance.

Barring insanity on the part of the writers and several characters, part of the question about whom it is that Barney marries has been answered. It will not be Nora....

Good script. Now I wonder how Barney and Robin remain friends in the next few episodes. It must be awkward. And Kevin should be able to observe and figure it out.

come on robin, really?! she's been pining this entire time for barney and now she decides she can't do it? really? kevin's supposed to be a therapist and he couldn't figure out what happened? plus that was such stupid advice: i don't want to know the truth? yeah, that's healthy. it's obvious barney's doesn't actually like her because she's a mess, he loves her because she's robin.

Fantastically and Robin/barney written episode.
The question is now, who do I feel more sad for:
1.) Barney and his broken heart.
or
2.) Peter from Fringe with a reality that doesn't acknowledge his existence?

It takes a really good show, really good writing, and superb acting, to make me hate someone as much as I hated Robin when she shook her head at that moment. The pain on Barney's face made my skin crawl and my heart drop. I actually hurt for him. Neil Patrick Harris...wow...that's all I can say...
Robin has low self-esteem, clearly. She went with the answer that made her sound beautiful, not the honest answer. The age old question, really. Do you want someone that sees you for who you are, or who sees you for who you want to be?
But I still think they'll get together.
As for the other guys - again, Marshall owned the scenes, but they were both hilarious freaking out at the sign! Marshall reminded me of his days on Freaks and Geeks.

OH MAN!!! Such a good episode!! and its "BRoTP" not "barbin"?!
I loved the montage in barney's head of he and robin (haha a shipper's video dream). The rose petal scene just broke my heart :'( .. but I'm hoping that the shows creators will do right by, not only the fans, but the characters as well, and we will eventually see these two together :)
