  • I actually liked Quinn, and think her storyline has potential. (Not as a serious love interest, but just in general.) I’m also curious if there’s some backstory for her. Barney mentioned a stripper named Karma back in the S3 episode “The Bracket.” It could, of course, just be coincidence. I’m not so happy with Robin’s whole storyline lately. I figured she’d move out soon, and it makes sense to have her go stay with Marshall and Lily. But Marshall and Lily’s suburb stories have been boring, and I have no idea why Lily is waking her up with a sledgehammer in hand.

    • I thought I was the only one that caught this! But Karma was stripping in Vegas– and in Barney’s word, “we’re good.” Thus, I think it’s just a coincidence. (Or, they need to be more creative with stripper names/ continuity!)

      • Yeah I noticed that too and was hoping they’d be some kind of payoff… I like to think the writers are superhuman and remember everything ;)

  • Ha Ha, the name of one of the board games in the last picture is “Slap Bet”. Wonder if Lily’s dad made that one too.

    • He did. (See: Slapsgiving 2: Return of the Slap)

      Comment by Greer – February 15, 2012 02:50 PM PDT  Reply To This Post

    • He did! It was featured in the Season 5 episode, “Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap” if you want to watch it!! :)

  • the last pic looks hilarious can’t wait for that one.

  • Yep! I think it was the second Slapsgiving episode where they showed, right before the credits, that Mickey created Slap Bet.

  • I like that it looks like Robin moved out in order to avoid another Ted/Robin romance.

  • I already love HIMYM, but adding a lot of scenes with Becki Newton in lingerie makes this show even better

  • Can we please stop pretending that Barney and Robin aren’t in love with each other? This is killing me.

    Comment by Carly – February 15, 2012 06:31 PM PDT  Reply To This Post

    • I like them too but they need time to come together, and Quinn should be interesting.

      Comment by Mike – February 15, 2012 06:41 PM PDT  Reply To This Post

    • I know, but I feel like they’ve messed up Robin’s character so badly they need to do something about that before she and Barney can get together again.

  • Love Becki Newton, love Quinn’s storyline so far, can’t wait to see more! I don’t really care who Barney ends up with (not a huge Barney/Robin fan, but don’t mind if they’re “meant to be” as shippers say), just happy about this fun and funny pairing!

  • Am I the only one who feels cheated that after 7 years we still don’t know who the mother is?
    I don’t get this thing of Ted saying he loves Robin, just move on

    Comment by Annie – February 16, 2012 07:11 AM PDT  Reply To This Post

  • I really like the chemistry between Barney and Quinn, the look good. And this comes from a fan of Barney and Robin. But the breaking point for me is that I would really like for Barney to be a father someday. He was so cute with her nice. (Maybe except for the name…Hurriacane

  • Don’t shoot me but I much prefer Barney with Quinn or almost anyone other than Robin. I just don’t feel the Barney/Robin thing. I know there are die hard shippers but, meh. I think it would be nice to add some fresh blood to the group and Quinn works really well for right now. I feel like if they continue to do that Robin/Ted/Barney triangle it’s going to get so lame and redundant and very typical of every other *cough* Friends *cough* type of show. HIMYM should be smarter than this.

  • He’s wearing 3 different ties…so he goes back 3 times LOL. Becki looks awesome for recently having her first child!
