  1. Well, isn't it normal for a bride to have doubts right before her wedding?

  4. Writer A: Is there any logical reason for Robin to be with Barney?

    Other writers/show creators: ...
    Love?

    Writer A: But why are they in love?

    Other writers/show creators:...
    We'll just say it doesn't have to make sense.

  5. At least he's talking her into marrying Barney I actually like this speech from Ted. I also love how this goes with what Robin has said in the past that it doesn't make sense but she knows it makes sense cause she loves Barney and he loves her.

  6. Aw, Ted. Thank you for this. And for the Barney flashback.

  7. My secret hope for this episode is that it
    Not only tells of the wedding of b/r but also that of ted and the mother. Maybe that is why they have previewed so much of the robin story?!!

  8. Totally agree.

  10. This had not occured to me until you mentioned. I hope you are right!

  11. That's always been my assumption, and it's a complete cop-out if you ask me.

  13. No cop-out but the ongoing theme since "The Best Man", it is a very clear message actually, you love who you love, this decision is not in our hands.

  15. I was a bride once, I had serious doubts about a week before my wedding. My doubts were right, it took a lot of work to make my marriage a success. But it is, we are happy. Barney and Robin can be too.

  16. Perhaps I watch too little TV or read too many books or something to swallow that message, at least in this context. I think you can't help who you're attracted to, and that, when you're actually in love, your actions and behavior can be nonsensical, but I think a legitimate, healthy love should have some sense behind it. I think Barney and Robin are too similar and don't challenge each other to be better people (often quite the opposite), so yes, I think their representation of most positive messages is poorly executed and a cop-out. It's harder to legitimize a relationship than go the lazy route and say "oh, it doesn't have to make sense." Despite loving the characters individually and as just friends, I personally think their relationship is unhealthy, ergo I don't like or support it.


    Obviously you don't have to agree with me, but that's my perception and I've seen nothing in the show that has altered that perception.

  17. Way to judge the context of the entire episode based on a 40 sec sneak peak, what Ted says there might be true but it's also not going to cut it this time, she needs more than that, she's going to bolt off (if you haven't watched the promo, I'm sorry for spoiling it). Let's wait for the episode before we jump to conclusions, shall we? And I love btw. how you say Robin and Barney are too similar and therefore not a good relationship. Yet, judging by your previous comments, Ted and his carbon copy, the mother, seem to get away with it, it's even cute... Talk about double standards.

  18. I really didn't mean in the context of the episode or the sneak peek...more in the context of the couple as a whole. Or at least with this second time around. I didn't mind their relationship in season...4, I think...because I thought it made some sense for them to be curious about the potential they had for a relationship and it provided growth to the characters, especially Barney. Then they broke up for entirely valid reasons, and getting back together basically ignores those reasons. And it goes back to them being too similar. Barney and Robin have extremely intense personalities that are naturally too combative to coexist in my view. In addition to that, they feed off of each other's intense personalities in a way that validates their shared flaws and makes them come across as incredibly conceited and shallow (i.e. "We're more awesome than anyone else and that justifies any negative and often vindictive behaviors we exhibit or perceptions we have about others." And to coincide with the running gag from earlier in the season..."Awwww!"). For that reason alone they don't strike me as comparable to Ted and The Mother. For one, we still don't know all that much about her and her dynamic with Ted. We know she likes many of the same nerdy things as Ted and that she's apparently very sweet, but that doesn't necessarily follow that other parts of her personality, such as her flaws, match up with Ted's. I could be wrong on that obviously, but I haven't seen anything thus far to indicate that.

  19. Interresting thought, we may have found out the reason that they're not giving us much of Ted and YM, they might be afraid people would go "YM sux, girlfriend XYZ was so much better."

    That being said, that seems to be the disagreement, I think you should not change who you are in order to be in a relationship, I love who I am, hobbies personality and all that, and would love to be with someone who likes me for me without the need to "become better." What does better mean in your head? For Barney to become a Ted? Define better, because for me, Ted is obnoxious beyond believe, and Barney is just Barney he's never going to be your run off the mill stereotypical/boring guy.

    Maybe you don't like yourself or the people who you were with, so you feel the need to "make them better." Or you have your knwoledge out of books, because you seem to be buying solely into the "Opposites attract" crap, because that is what's usually being written, easy to tell stories, easy to create conflict, or "challenge each other to become better" to use your words.

    HIMYM is not the first work of fiction that goes that route, Guy-1 is all sweet and romantic and everything a woman SHOULD want, because that's what she's been told by the society, Guy-2 is interresting, confident and charismatic but also a terrible flight risk who woman should run away from. Woman dates Guy-1, he's safe, sweet, he puts her on a pedestal, she kinda enjoys being cherished like that, but he's also not completely doing it for her, don't get me wrong, she's clearly in love with him during the relationship but he's just not quite doing in for her, he dosen't quite "push her buttons" if you will. They break up, woman moves on but Guy-1 is still kinda hung-up on her. Meanwhile she's struggling with her feelings towards Guy-2, he's kinda exciting, he's confident and attractive (depends on personal taste, but it's safe to say woman finds Guy-2 more attractive) but also kind of a jerk, he dosen't treat other people the best way, he's a risk, a bad one, and therefore she runs away from it for a long time, because it has to be wrong (society again), just look at the guy, "The Best Man."

    In the end it all comes down to personal preferences, Ted in your eyes
    is all sweet and quirky and romantic and "Awwww awww awww, such a nice guy" who can
    do no wrong, while Barney is well, Barney, he's manipulative, strangers don't mean jack squat to him. He's horrible in your eyes and I'm fine with that, I don't care, in mine, he's interresting, kinda like an anti-hero. They even had an entire episode dedicated to that, alongside a very clear meta-message from the writers, ever thought about Reverend Lowell being used as some sort of proxy for - let's say old fashioned - people like you? No?

    Feel free to disagree with every single one of my points.

  20. Robin is screwed up herself, she's insecure, her own mother just spend an entire episode of unintentionally freaking her out about her future husband. She fears that she suffers from some sort of electra complex and that's the reason she's attracted to Barney, she's standing in the way of her own happiness because the idea of finally being happy terrifies her (That's what her shrink once told her.) What Ted says ther is true, but love alone isn't enough at this point, it's a huge step. I don't think the mother will somehow force her to get back to the church, how could she? We don't know what the mother is going to say and what will Robin ultimately convince to get back, we should watch the episode before we jump to a conclusion, no?

  21. What I mean by "better" is not altering who you are, but just becoming a better version of yourself, if that makes sense. You should like who you are, like what you like, etc, and the person you're with should not seek to change those crucial aspects of you that make you who you are, but I think the person you're with should motivate you to want to improve yourself, in small or big ways. Take the HIMYM characters. I love that Ted is passionate and idealistic, I love that Marshall is nice to the point of naiveté, I love that Barney is so confident and such a kid at heart. He's awesome and he knows it. Does that give him the right to, say, try to sabotage an engagement because they pissed him off? So, in my perception, Barney could be a "better" person by realizing that being awesome doesn't make you automatically superior to another person and give you the right to manipulate or insult them or something, and I would hope the person he was with would help that.


    Since you brought me up for some reason, I'll go ahead and use myself as an example. I love who I am, I love my hobbies, personality, etc, but I recognize that I have flaws just like any other person. For example, I'm well aware that I can be a bit aloof. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but I would obviously hope whoever I end up with would not only accept that aspect of me, but help me improve that aspect of myself and open my mind to new things. And just for the record, I probably hate the "opposites attract" dynamic more than anything, at least when they're on far ends of the spectra. Having things in common is important, but I think balancing each other out/being different in some regards is also important. Of course I'm aware that applying one over-arcing rule to every couple is silly because there are so many different types of people, but I'm just going off of what I see in the show in regards to B/R. When they broke up the first time, they said it was because they "canceled" each other out, and I don't see how that would change. Sure, they're both more mature, but that problem is still there.


    So yeah, just to point out again, I love every character in this show. You seem to hate or at least very much dislike Ted, but just because I'm critiquing the dynamic of the B/R relationship doesn't mean I hate one or both parties involved. Like I said, I love Barney and Robin, just individually or just as friends. From what I've seen in the show, the best I can say for their romance is that it's cool that two characters that could never commit finally did, and to each other no less. I just don't like the a lot of the negative behavior they bring out in each other.


    But yes, as you said, feel free to disagree.

  22. What a great speech Ted!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yeah, Ted's not forcing Robin to do anything. Where did you get that?

    ReplyDelete
  24. it's funny how BR fans are all 'thanks ted or he's being a great friends" blablabla when he tell her to marry barney and hate him when he's not here to support their mess. I think him telling her again to marry barney like the mother will persuade her to marry barney is almost forced her to do it! She needs to find by herself what she wants
