How I Met Your Mother

Barney and Robin never worked for me. It felt like the writers were trying way to hard to force two people together who just didn't fit. Pretty much the entire romantic focus of the show was on Ted, so they thought they'd kill two bird with one stone and just mush those to together.
 
I disagree, I thought Barney/Robin made sense. They were both independent free spirits who enjoyed a lot of the same things, there was that episode in Season One where Robin was Barney's wing man for a night. I don't think the writers meant for that to be a harbinger for the future (considering Robin turns Barney down emphatically by the end of that episode) but that ep always reminds me how much they have in common.

The problem for me is Barney in a relationship kinda de-fangs the character a little bit.
 
I think it shows growth. He's grown kinda stagnant and predictable to me.
 
i want norah to stick around because of the combination of her looks and accent lol
 
For some reason, her accent reminded me of Chloe from Uncharted 2.

Agreed in that episode alone they proved to be a better match then what her and Ted ever would have been. Hell, even the writers admitted they made a mistake breaking them up after seeing how well they played off each other.
 
I never really got behind Robin and Barney. I've always been more of a Robin and Ted fan. I hope they bring back Don though for Robin. He was a good guy.

For some reason, I liked Ted more when he was chasing after Robin in season 1 than I did when he was with her in season 2. But I wasn't a big fan of Barney and Robin and I was kinda waiting for it to end.
 
I like Barney and Robin as a couple although the series doesn't work so well with them all coupled up, if they got together in the last ep it would be best

Yeah, that's my opinion as well.

I could never get behind Ted and Robin because you find out at the end of the first episode that she's not the mother. I always felt that twist would've been best given at the end of Season 2.

Ted and Victoria were okay, but I went and rewatched those episodes, she's one great moment at the wedding and not much else to me.

Stella was even worse, I like Sarah Chalke but that character was grating on me. Zoe's the first girl that I actually like for Ted (and to be fair, part of it is me diggin Jennifer Morrison).

Yeah agreed. Jennifer Morrison is gorgeous!

As is Sarah!:yay:

Space Teens-

So funny I literally cried laughing at this, Space Teens in their curling puck shaped spacecraft, the girls massaging the Alan Thicke's joystick (especially at his 'hands behind the head gesture') the beaver song, all told a classic! Just like when Wil Wheaton appears on Big Bang you know it'll be a good one whenever Robin Sparkles appears. Nicole is gorgeous but I suppose that goes without saying, love her pronounciation of 'aboot'
I thought the moose was Canada's national symbol

10/10
 
LOL yeah that was comedy gold. When this show hits it for a home run, it totally knocks it out of the park.
 
On a side note, I was rewatching the Let's Go To The Mall video today, damn Colby can shake it!
 
I think the wedding might be Zoey and the Captain getting remarried. it happened with Stella, so it might be a little funny for it to happen to Ted twice where his girl remarries their ex because he inadvertently brought them back together.
 
nope, the wedding he meant is his best friends wedding. he said he was the best man

Robin also asked him to be her "bestman" as well.

I really don't think it's Punchey's wedding. The Mother lives in New York, so why would she be at a wedding in Shaker Heghts, Ohio? I think her playing in a band at a wedding in New York or even just as a guest, would make more sense.
