<p>Since everyone is watching/talking tv shows. Anybody watching this one?
You guys, I really liked The Mother. And I really liked those episodes. The first definitely was better for the comedy, though I enjoyed Marshall and Daphne fighting it out for the trip to New York and think that could be a fun tag-along plot for the next handful of episodes. But the second brought out a lot of great emotion. And I still love Barney and Robin as a couple. And The Mother makes more sense for Ted.</p>
<p>I’m thrilled about this opening Monday, perhaps more for the potential than for the standalone episodes.</p>
<p>All I have to say is: I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR EIGHT FREAKING SEASONS. That is all.</p>
<p>And also, it’s getting sooo cheesy. I kind of miss Barney’s single womanizer character… he was funny.
Barney: Our wedding is going to be legendary.
Robin: No wait for it?
Barney: I’ve got you. I don’t have to wait for it anymore.</p>
<p>TOO CHEESY. Still love him and Robin though. Robin was also my favorite female character, so I love them both together. But the cheese.</p>
<p>(It’s really cheesy, but I love that the lead-up to Marshall and Lily’s wedding was “Something Borrowed” and “Something Blue” and the lead-up to the Barney/Robin wedding was “Something Old” and “Something New.”)</p>
