And yet another episode of How I Met Your Mother that made me go "Whaaaat?"

I was really enjoying this episode until the last, oh, five seconds. I like that Marshall and Lily might move out of the city. The Ted/Barney having a baby storyline was kind of silly, but...you know...that kind of thing happens. If you are single, old, and want to have children, stuff like that crosses your mind from time to time. I liked that the storyline resolved itself quickly without anyone screaming at each other and being mean (yes, I'm thinking of Will and Grace's "let's have a baby together" storyline). I liked James telling Ted it's worth it to wait. But...Robin's pregnant? Why? I don't know if I like this one bit.

thoughts on How I Met Your Mother: "Tick Tick Tick"

Hmm. Hmm, I say. I felt bad for Barney, but I'm not sure how I feel about this for the long-term. I can see why Robin decided to stay with Kevin. In Barney's case, I understand wanting to be with someone you feel comfortable with and who is "just as messed up as [you are]," but I think ideally you want to be with someone who you're the best version of yourself with. Right? And I feel like Barney displaying feelings for Robin again kind of came out of nowhere; like, it was clear at the beginning of the season that *she* was into *him* again, but we didn't really get much of an impression that he was even really thinking of her like that anymore. I don't know. Whatever they decide to do with the whole Barney/Robin thing, I just hope they don't drag it out too long. And I hope they give Ted a storyline again sometime soon. Also, thanks to this episode I am now thinking about how I want nachos for dinner tomorrow night.

So, I don't have strong feelings one way or another about whether Barney and Robin get back together. As I've mentioned before, I think they zipped through their relationship too quickly the first time around after so much build-up, so I could get behind them trying it again, though I'm not actively rooting for it to happen. That said, I gasped out loud when they kissed at the end of this episode. Good job, Show.

One thing I *have* been actively rooting for is for Barney to get to stop wearing that stupid duckie tie. So glad that's over with.

You know what's wrong with this season? Ted has no storyline. He usually is either in a relationship, or getting over a relationship, or going through something in his career. This season, nothing. And he seems to be the butt of a lot of jokes. This all needs to change.

That's all.
