"RajBauer" love ya, much appreciate the comments and you having my back last week. Hats off to the rest of you all thus far too. Great stuff. Rosie I don't think it's impossible to unnerve barney. Nora certainly helped show some new sides of him, I just didn't think three hours in a bar was enough to warrant him messing up what has become his trademark line. I don't think Robin is the mother either I was more voicing my disappointment that it looked like they are going to explore that relationship yet again. Keep em coming guys. I like what we've got going so far here.

Some good parts but I agree that it was a bit much. I loved that Barney was consternated but it did seem easy. Robin/Kevin and ending was terrible. Kevin storyline was a waste of time and Ted and Robin together again?! Ugh!

I understand some having the opinion that they don't want the whole Ted and Robin thing, but I think wanting the writers to completely ignore and toss aside what has become an unresolved plot point just for the sake of pleasing viewers is really just encouraging the kind of bad, popularity/ratings driven writing that fuels the worst kind of television.

Robin can't be the mother. a) they said so in the first episode, and b) none of the other things fit. She's not Rachel Bilson's roommate, she wasn't in Ted's economic class, they didn't meet over a yellow umbrella...also, Ted said Robin never had kids.
Just let them ride it out- it'll eventually all make sense.

["Barney messing up his trademark catchphrase was amusing, but I honestly could not believe any woman let alone someone he met a day ago could unnerve him like that. I felt like the great Barnabus's legacy was slapped in the face with such missteps or the fact that we were meant to believe that Barney honestly did not recognize Quinn from her job at his favorite strip club."]
Why can't any woman unnerve Barney? What makes him so special that he cannot be unnerved by a woman?

The reason they are bringing back the Robin and Ted thing is because of their break up convo. Dont you remember the where do you see yourself in 5 year convo? Well neither are where they expected to be 5 years ago and they honestly could have been together the whole time. Plus this is tying back to the Ducky Tie episode where Victoria pointed out how weird it is to hang out with an ex and Barney who also dated Robin, and future Ted said that "it didnt work but they didnt know it yet." I honestly thought it was a good episode but I enjoyed last weeks too and defended you so no bashing there lol. I agree that the drunken train and the stripper thing werent very strong but I still enjoyed it overall. Also as a final note, Ted was saying he was tired of the "one" search because he cant get anything going with someone special not because he didnt care.
PPS love that they used rivers and roads to end the episode, same song that ended the chuck finale.
