BARNEY/ROBIN!!!!!!!!! I was 100% unspoiled for this episode, so the Barney/Robin stuff totally exceeded my expectations (I was pretty much just expecting the worst).

I LOVED the game they played with each other, because that's totally how it would go. They're so unsure about this, but their feelings are too strong to ignore it completely! And I loved them saying they were Mosby-ing each other because it's always fun to make fun of Ted (even though I do like him).

AND THE KISS! I really wasn't expecting one, so YAY. I liked too that they left it kind of unresolved between them, because hopefully that means we'll have a lot of wacky hijinks involving them figuring out how to be in a relationship with each other. And lots more making out. That is definitely important and necessary.

I also am glad they told the story of the goat and Ted's 31st birthday because for some reason I was afraid they'd forget about it (even though they've been building to it since like season 1, I believe). AND MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ON THE TED/THE MOTHER FRONT. AWESOME. I love all the little hints we get. That storyline definitely isn't the major draw for me, but I love whenever it's briefly mentioned or just a little bit of progress is made in that area.

Ugh, I'm so excited for season 5 now! I need it to start airing right now!


I am finally back home! I didn't have internet in the place we were staying last night (which was probably the one place I really wanted it because of the HIMYM finale), so that's why my reaction is a bit late. I was going to start checking my flist again once I got back, but I realized that I'm basically 2 weeks behind on all my TV shows except for HIMYM, and there are some I'd really rather not get spoiled for, so I'll probably wait to get caught up until tomorrow.
