This may seem a little odd but for now I’m going to slump these two together . I’ll do my best to keep them separated..but feel free to lump your thoughts together. btw, check back next week as well and I will tell you a story of how I met the set of HIMYM…True Story.
I don’t have a lot to say about this episode. It was awesome to see some focus on Marshall & Lily. In fact this may be the most even episode of the season. Even, in the sense that everyone was involved. What I don’t get is other than the continuation feel of going from one episode to the next, why call it “The Magician’s Code” as well?
I digress. The point of the episode was baby MArvin “Wait For It” Eriksen… that and possibly giving us enough story lines to fill up next season.
Old Ted: Kids, sometimes the universe sends you exactly what you act for…other times, it sends you Lily’s dad.
despite not being a huge fan of Lily’s dad, this may have been the best we have seen of Chris Elliott on HIMYM yet.
Knowing that Barney’s bride was teased so much in the promo, twitter, act…I just want the baby to be born and move on…you knew it would be the last moment of the season. And seriously, baby’s are cute and all but I was over it before it happend. Awesome middle name though.
This finale honestly seemed so intense at moments I had trouble taking notes…so if I missed anything or got it off, just consider that your invitation to fill in the blank. Cool?
Barney. A wedding that that went horribly wrong. That’s what Ted said. So knowing that and seeing who Barney’s bride was/is… is that good or bad news for Robin/Barney fans? And what else do we know about the wedding once we put the pieces together:
Does that lead you to any conclusions? Or just more questions. Since we won’t know that till later…I’m curious if it caught you by surprise? The proposal to Quinn was predictable, not how Barney planned initially it seems but extremely well played out.
Ted. A bigger suprise may have been Ted’s decision with Victoria. The way I figure things…either he is trying to write “The Wedding Bride Part 2” or HIMYM writers got tired of throwing Robin at us and said “What other woman the we have told fans isn’t the mother that we could put Ted back with before the show ends?” I’m not sure they actually, physically said that but when I played it through in my head it had a female voice saying it. Not sure why. Will they be together at Robin & Barney’s wedding? Will there be cake? Did I mention that I love cake?
So much more to take in honestly, I feel like I need to watch it again to get my full thoughts. I’ll make this all for now though and leave my future thoughts in the comments.
While Robin wasn’t as much of a surprise, the Victoria moment came out of nowhere. I love being taken off guard.
I reserve the right to talk bad here if in the future I don’t like what happend with Robin & Barney… I trust the show peeps and all but hated the fact that Ted started by saying it was a Wedding that went badly…
What’s the end game of the Ted & Victoria piece? We know (unless all the clues so far are false) the she isn’t the mother… so what are you thoughts on there this is going?
Will Season 8 end it? No official word yet but Carter & Craig they won’t keep that a secret once it’s for sure.
