A man can do a lot of living in three hours.
So I’m out experiencing this beautiful, crazy dance called life.

How I Met Your Mother Music
- Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp by George Harrison – Ted pushes the button, Lily gives the news & Barney has a moment…and more
If you are like me then you loved tonight’s How I Met Your Mother. And wow is there a lot to talk about…though we’ve got all the way till Season 7 to do so! Read more after you get your free gallon of soup!
I did feel like they were trying to piss most fan’s off with the slight resurface of Zoey but hopefully that is done for.
Lily & Marshall. First off, If I remember the callback to Subway Wars correctly, Lily only thought she could speak conductor correctly…so it seems off that she can do so well now. Past that, I felt like the Pregnancy things was a given the moment she first hurled chunks. I felt like a lot of people on twitter called it as well. But I feel like it could be a good time to explore this chapter of LAME. I mean the trying to get pregnant stuff gave us a few laugh and also kept us distracted while they punched us in the gut with the death of Mr. Eriksen. I’m sure pregnant Lily will give us good laughs too…or could it bring us more grief?
Ted. This dude really seems like a B story in his own story. And that’s ok because we love the characters and seeing how it all relates to the day Ted meets her. And now we know it’s at Barney & ????’s wedding. I’m glad he got to push the button. It’s a big deal for him to succeed, and like his friends, Ted’s had a crappy and crazy year. Good thing he has friends like Barney & Robin to help him from doing something extremely stupid, like getting back with Zoey.
Robin. Just a simple though/question. Tell me what you think this face means:
… is it: What have I done? Do I still love him? Did I make a mistake? Will he be happy?
Barney & Robin. These two just make a great team together. Whether they are the wedding couple or not I feel like they make a good team. The relationship before didn’t have a lot of depth, but Barney has grown a lot…I still feel like Robin has some journey to go on. But I think it still has a chance. And their cab conversation with Ranjit (woo hoo), totally double meaning. It could not be more clear they were talking about each other.
Barney & Nora. Here is the issue. I like them together two. She made Barney face some hard truths. And the simple fact that she didn’t’ slap him and run off, I thought shows good chances for them. The “It’s never too late” line, complete double meaning. IT’s never too late for Barney to try again and it’s never too late for sundresses. Sorry, I just really like sundresses.
That’s all I’ve got for this Season. Keep stopping by in the summer as I take another look at Season 1! As for Challenge Accepted, What did you think?
Moments of Awesomeness
- New Rule: New Is Always Better…also Barney’s oldest rule…maybe?
- Hallo! Ranjit! I always love it when Marshall Manesh is on the show, even briefly.
- Dave Foley! Anyone remember Kids in the Hall?
- Velocoraptor Sound Lily. Awesome.
- Double meaning…it’s like when people talk about someone else but they really mean to be talking about themselves. What does it mean?
- Sandwiches…How come the hipster kid didn’t ask them to buy sandwiches instead of pot? Sorry, if I’m Mr. Continuity tonight
- Robin & Barney to the rescue. Thank God they showed up when they did! I couldn’t take much more of the Zoed relationship. Plus I love Robin & Barney as a team.
- The mother phych out was great. Obvious…but great.
- Barney’s Wedding! Well that answered one part of the wedding question answered. Now for the other part, game of guess who anyone?
Legendary Lines
Ted: Do you know how many people it takes to change 50,000 lightbulbs?
Barney: Are these people Irish, Polish, blondes? What are we dealing with?
Marshall: Can I borrow an adult diaper?
Robin: You were the only boyfriend I ever motorboated
Robin: Man, I wish we had gotten to Brooklyn sooner
Hipster Guy: I know right? Ever since the Trader Joe’s opened up, Brooklyn’s been like..whatever.
Robin: You can’t just run back to the past because it’s familiar.
Nora: It’s never too late
Barney: Challenge Accepted
Lingering Questions
- Is that finally the end of Zoey (like we were promised) or will we see here again?
- How do you feel about a baby on HIMYM? Good? Bad? Will we even see the kid before the end of the show?
- Robin or Nora? We can divide this into two questions…which do you like better for Barney & which do you think will be his bride?
- What did you think the the Season 6 Finale!?
I believe that Robin and Barney should end up together but maybe barney will end up with Nora. And Robin will possibly end up with this guy from chapter 21 ‘Hopeless’ Season 6, because future Ted metion that he will be apearing later on
But Michael Trucco -Robin’s secret crush- obviously is not as available as Bays and Thomas originally had hoped for. Which might indicate, that his role was rather a sidenote in a) Robin’s development or b) the ongoing Robin-Barney-Story.
Personally I think, that both options could work for Barney as well as for the show as they both do include classical elements -Robin as the Happy End to a long and rocky approach towards relationship, Nora as Barney’s saviour-, although the Nora story comes across too shallow – at least as of now.
I’m rooting for Barney and Robin finally getting rid of their pasr demons and working it out together with Barney quitting his oldest rule…
I think the reason Lily is wearing that is because she doesn’t have a dress. think about it she’s pregnant and when it’s time for the wedding she would have had the baby and a little post pregnancy fat. So to make a dress for Lily that is the right size would be an estimate and they didn’t want to risk it or the dress didn’t fit and Lily had to find the first dress available. Or she’s probably going to change soon cause Ted’s waiting outside the Church before having his talk with Barney so Lily could change really fast in that time. Just a guess – but I think t’s Robin & Barney. And in the last post someone said something about Best men not man and Ted could be Robin’s – s6ep12 False Postive and Marshall could be Barney’s. Or I’m just really wishing it was Robin cause guys. Ted & Robin NOT made for each other and I don’t think the gang would take in 3 more members.
what did barney mean by challenge accepted?? would he then be trying to prove that it is too late?
Barney and Robin end up together, because in Season 8 episode 2, at the end after him and Quinn break up, it says ‘a little ways down the road’ and Barney says “DARY! My wedding’s gonna be legendary.” And Arthur says “Pre-nup?” And Barney replies “Not this time.” Then Robin walks in and says, “Ready for lunch?” Barney kisses her, they hold hands and go for lunch.
No no no. Robin all the way!
i don’t know what’s with the last episode of every season it simply makes me love the show more and more. today i watched it again, actually it was my third time and it was as fresh and as good as new simply makes me forget all my worries hats off to the producers wish it never ends…
