Where did all the comments go? Why have things gone wonky?

This was a weak episode story-wise, but laugh-wise it was a strong Robin episode. 1) Robin laughing at the parking meter, 2) Robin asleep on a cab, 3) Robin talking about fancy penguins. Genius.

Devil's advocate, the past two seasons' third eps have both been weak. I wish they weren't rushing through RoBarn, but they're obviously going somewhere with it or they wouldn't be going so fast. I guess we'll see. I remain a proud supporter of the BRo movement.

Eric, mysterious bracket girl is Britney Spears. I still want to know who it was supposed to be originally.

I'm on vacation and will absolutely still be live-Tweeting the finale even-so. Important life-things like this don't stop just because I'm on the beach!

For lady from the past, I thought it would be Stella since last year during The Goat Lily mentioned her being there.

If people have AT&T, you can get it from their site for any phone. I rock it on my LG View, because I wanted the most iPhone-like phone available without actually giving in and getting the iPhone. Because I'm on the internet enough as it is.

Why can't people just be happy with the idea that the mother will just be someone that Ted comes across at some point in the future? She doesn't need to be Keyser Soze.

Though that would be awesome...

My dad once told my brother and I how he met our mom. I'm pretty sure she hadn't died or left. ... I should call her and make sure though.

I got a little chokey during Stella's "she's getting here as fast as she can" bit. That was touching. I thought this episode was beautiful more than it was funny. Lots of sitcoms can't (or don't try to) pull that off.

Now bring on the finale! Pleasebarneyandrobingettogetherpleaseohpleaseohplease.

Okay, LITERALLY, there has to be someone else who doesn't hate Stella or Tony? Right? Right? Anyone?!

I cannot imagine that Ted and Stella would get back together. I think they knew the general outrage (*salutes*) that would stem from her appearance at the end of the last one (though I didn't share in it, since I liked Stella), and since we already know she's not the mother, it would just be dragging something on that ultimately won't matter. Plus I think it would be kind of a bummer to break up a family unit now that she's back with her ex. Not very Ted-like.

I'm more focused on RoBarn anyway. Bring on the BRo.
