Strange Machines

Overall it had been a weak season for HIMYM. The Robin-Barney pairing was boring and even worse was their breakup.

Then Robin and Don started getting serious and things got interesting. In fact, Twin Beds is one of my favourite episodes right up there with all the Slapisodes and Robin Sparkles episodes.

Why did they have to ruin it by letting Don go and having Robin and Ted almost kiss and then make a big deal out of his blonde hair stopping that “bad idea”.

If it was such a bad idea why did they have Ted want Robin back because she was the girl of his dreams 2 episodes ago? Surely what would have been more realistic was to have them kiss since she was the one he wanted to marry?

I can’t believe they can write the characters out so unrealistic. I think the writers are just out of it (Robin-Barney suddenly breaking up and then Ted suddenly not grabbing The Window and dating Robin again).

Trust me, when the final closing curtains fall, they would have pulled a Lost and Robin will turn out to be The Mother in the end.

Why? Because we are so emotionally invested in her, rather than some random chick who will appear in a few episodes then be declared The Mother.

The writers can pull a Lost and have Bob Saget say in a Barney voice, haha I lied. Robin is your mother after all.

There, I said it twice. It must be true. (And you can tell I’m still bitter from Lost.)
