HIMYM tonight

[arabian]

I'm not really sure what I can put here that won't give away my feelings about tonight's episode, so just go behind the cut.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BARNEY AND ROBIN + MAKING OUT = AWESOME TO INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was totally loving the BrOtp moments throughout the show, and then when everyone disappeared and it was just Robin in the final group scene at the bar (minus Barney), I knew (okay, was 99.9% sure and really, really hoped) that Barney would show up. And he did. And he was awesome, comforting her and saying she was the most awesome person he met (after the guy in the mirror, of course). And it was awesome. And the whole time I was watching it, I was thinking: 'Are we going to get some Barney/Robin action in this ep? Is it really gonna happen? Naw. Maybe. Nah. Possibly.' And then, and then, and then ....

Robin asked Barney to go back to her place and I did think 'OOH, OOH, OOH!!!' and then they were on the couch and I thought 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! they did it and it was awkward and we didn't even get to see ONE KISS!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' And then they started talking and I knew from the first sentence out of Barney's mouth that she was going to show him the video. And it was awesome.

And then when voice-over Ted began talking, I though, OHMYGOD! IT'S GONNA HAPPEN! and then, and then, and then ...

IT DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barney and Robin were making out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can NOT wait until next week. Seriously. I may die in anticipation. OH. MY. GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Barney and Robin are CANON, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that ... well, "Let's Go to the Mall" was way better, and James Van Der Beek does still suck, and the whole revertigo thing was eh, but I don't care. It was all about the BrOtp for me.

And it was awesome.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Tom said something along the lines of a never before seen routine, so....

Oh, awesome. I didn't watch the show yet. Thanks for the heads-up!!!

[kansasspice.livejournal.com]

No problem. Don't take my word for it, but I'm pretty sure that's what's going to happen.

[harper47.livejournal.com]

Yes, me too. Apolo and Juliane, Maks and Mel and Mario and Karina was the impression I got.

[arabian.livejournal.com]

Yup, and I'm quite thrilled about that. Yippee!!!

So I gather Mario is doing a number from Chorus Line and not dancing with Karina but still.

And this proves to me that the PTB really do know who the great couples are no matter what dumb reality show SL they try to shove down our throats. Apolo really was great with Juliane and Mel and Maks were spectacular.

(boy are Shannon and Derek getting roasted on TWOP right now. Everyone is pissed off about that confessional. For me, I know what's it like to feel frustrated and angry and just kind of go off before realizing -yikes. Everyone in America is hearing this so I cut them slack. I do agree with them that they are being underscored compared to others. Jason just does not deserve the free ride he is getting.

And everyone seems to forget about Marissa's little cryfest after Carrie Ann too. Everyone gets upset.)

Yup, Julianne and Apolo and Maks and Mel were IT! As much as I loved Laila and Maks, it was really Laila that I loved so, Maks really hit his stride with Mel (and despite loving Julianne as I do, M/M REALLY should have won).

I'm shocked by the roasting of Shannon/Derek because I thought HE was spot-on and I expected people to be cheering what he said because it was SO FLIPPING TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! How dare he call the judges out on it?! Ugh, give me a break, people.
