That is a classic indeed!
Loved Barney's old guy act tonight, not to mention Robin & Lilly throwing down their gloves for the girlfight. So I guess nobody wound up moving? |

The ridiculous interventions (even one FOR their interventions) was amazing. Still laughing at Robin, drunk on Molsons.

Anyone have any theories on who lives upstairs in the apartment a year from now?

I liked the 2009 foreshadowing bit they had there (and all the subtle clues).
-Lily didn't drink the scotch (preggers?) -Ted wasn't wearing a ring -when Wendy was taking a picture, Robin was getting almost unusually close to Barney -the apartment is still there |

I thought this episode was classic HIMYM. Probably my favorite episode of the season thus far.
The intervention bits had me rolling. Barney doing his magic tricks is always funny to me. Oh and drunken Robin getting all canadian was hilarious. I did notice that Lily didn't drink any of her alchohol and Robin was awfully close to Barney. This show loves to do this type of thing. |

Last night's eppie gets funnier the more I dwell upon it. No lol's except for Barney and the Molson-fueled SuperCanook, but hilarious in a more
sublime method.
Via TVTattle, here's a guy who screenshotted the clues: http://thetvaddict.com/20...lues-you-may-have-missed/ Except that the dumbass didn't notice that Robin's ring is on her right hand, i.e., not a wedding ring. I agree with the commentators. Somehow, someway, the frakking goat is involved. |

Absolutely classic episode. Loved the interventions. Loved that Barney's "fire magic" intervention actually has backstory since he's done
magic on the show plenty. Loved that Lily's English accent intervention was then later explained by Ted with the James Bond video marathon.
This show just covers their bases so completely and still manages the funny. I thought the closeness between Barney and Robin could go either way. Close friends smoosh together for a picture but there was also a couple vibe. For what it's worth, Robin's ring looks like a plain gold band - and Barney's right hand is ringless. However, with these farsighted writers - you can already envision an episode where that GOAT has eaten Robin's fiancee's ring and we're kept hanging as to the identity. Barney? Ted? Guy from Tokyo? |

I just watched this and it was pure gold from start to finish.
Pure, unadulterated Barney as he plays the 80 year old version of himself may be his best work yet. I couldn't stop laughing. Can anyone say emmy? And how HOT was Robin in that hockey get up? Oh yea, pure sex baby. This show shines when it focuses on little in stories, while slowly moving the overall storyline along. It's what makes it special and different. The other way around doesn't work. A+ this week. |

I'm rewatching and share the love for Molson-fueled Robin S. Note that Barney has had similar thoughts about girlfights, btw -- didn't he run cross
town for one once when called by Ted?
Anyhow, a random thought that occurred whilst watching live last night and hit me again upon the rewatch. Anyone around here fans of Buffy's Once More with Feeling? At the first big commercial break, roughly minute 10, there's a two tone guitar strum... That sounds EXACTLY like the lead-in to Dawn's abbreviated "Does anybody notice me?" song. Just before she got abducted by the dancing puppets. Eerie. Yet there is a Buffy veteran on the set after all. |

Apartment theory:
Robyn moves to Japan, but can't hack it so she has to move back. She let go her place there (along with everything she owned, except thte towel) so she moves into the old apartment, which Ted may or may not still have for some reason. Didnt Ted say something like "oh yeah thats right. It was Aunt Robyn's towel from when she was living here. He really didnt say when she was living here with me. So she could be up there alone. |

Wasn't it known that her and Marshall don't stay in their new apartment long because of all the problems it has? So Ted could technically be married and living in Jersey when he's having the drinks with them, and its Robyn living with Lily and Marshall upstairs. Meh. |

You're overthinking this.
Concentrate on the goat. |

The fire magic tricks and Old Man Barney? Legen--wait for it...
New Robin avatar goodness:  
This weekend I went to Borders and picked up a copy of The Bro Code by Barney Stinson. The testimonials on the back cover alone are worth the price. It's a relatively short read so I'm trying to savor it, but so far I'm unsurprisingly loving it. There was a bit of a continuity issue here--Stuart, the guy who they held the initial intervention that started it all for, had the build-up to his marriage chronicled in season 1 (to Claudia IIRC), and it definitely wasn't the same wife. AFAIK there was never any explanation of him getting remarried; obviously it was just a case where they couldn't get the actress to come back but they should've gone with a different friend. Anyway, I know it's gonna be hard to believe, because I was sworn to secrecy and not allowed to tell you guys before, but I actually played a role in this episode but it was cut for time. I was in the bar and decided to join the gang for a drink for no apparent reason. They invited me back for one of the interventions (Lily's British talk--if you look closely, you can still see some pixels around where I was airbrushed out), which gave me the idea to have an intervention for Robin and the fact that she's always too damn hot: "Hello Robin, you're a great person and you have been a very dear friend in the thirty minutes I've known you, but I must say, you are too damn hot all the time." And then Robin goes "You had me at hello" and we made out. But none of the footage was usable because Cobie got way too into it. Maybe it'll make the DVD? |

considering all he's telling them is how he met their mom? Is knowing that Uncle Marshall found his perfect burger joint really relevent? I know it's
just a silly premise but that's always stuck in my craw.
