RedEyedGhost Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I thought the Barney and Robin stuff was great, everything else was meh.On Katie Holmes' acting abilities? I don't think she was that bad. It could had been better, but i don't feel that she ruined the episode singlehandedly. And the role was a tricky one, since she had to react in a way that may look passionate in the first viewing but could pass as disgust in the second one.I think they should have went all out with passion in one and full on disgust in the other - they've used that technique before to show howe perception can be influenced by expectations. Is this the last season?They're under contract for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 They're under contract for one more.But they're being very particular with this season in case something goes horribly wrong and they have to wrap up in May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It looks like they are going to catch up with the loose-threads for Ted and eliminate them one at a time (Victoria and now Slutty Pumpkin).Slutty Pumpkin is probably the least slutty Halloween costume I have seen worn by an attractive/shapely woman trying to look sexy. They should have just referred to her as the Pumpkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Slutty Pumpkin is probably the least slutty Halloween costume I have seen worn by an attractive/shapely woman trying to look sexy. They should have just referred to her as the Pumpkin.Completely agree. Had no idea why it was even called that until I saw the pumpkin eyes cut out revealing some smooth silky upper chest (not boob) area.Guess I am not really attracted to pumpkin shaped women either.

Jaxom 1974 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hey, last night's episode was strong. The ducky tie. The Slap Bet. More slaps. Barney's television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah, I just really like watching Barney get slapped. And it's seeming more likely the wedding is going to be between Robin and Barney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddler Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The slaps were the best. Loved how Lilly was counting them down. My favorite though was the bear attacking Marshall during all of his freak outs. The one where the bear came out of the shower was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hairy bear Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A good one, I agree. I particularly enjoyed the way Robin and Barney got back together, and the fact thet they have chosen to do so when both are involved in relationships. The dynamics with Kevin and Nora will be fun to watch.As for the Ducky Tie, I didn't want it to go that soon, although that we know that it'll be back at least for the scene at the Casino.

Tammy Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh, that's right...that's who Kevin is. I swear sometimes my brain just fails me. When Barney brought up Kevin, I stared blankly at the screen wondering who the hell Kevin was. Has he just made that little impact on the show that I could just forget him like that?

Jaxom 1974 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Actually, Kal Penn is growing on me, and it he wasn't simply fodder for the Barney/Robin plot, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he incorporated into the cast a little more...though it woulda been nicer two seasons ago too, to give it time to develop properly. But that's neither here nor there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkess Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Ugh, Barney and Robin, don't do it! Of course in TVland this could work out but in real life wouldn't we all be saying they have no chance?Poor Nora. She actually trusted him. And poor Kevin. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDonegal Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Loved the bear scenes. Actually didn't see the bathroom one coming - which was stupid, I know. Fun.I still think that Robin/Barney is the most likely wedding, but last night actually made me think it's less likely. It's so early in the season, Barney has the duck tie back later (why except for punishment of some kind?). Clearly the wedding scene where Barney is made to take off his tie is to make him put the ducky one back on again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Ain't that the truth. I honestly expected that neither of them were getting out of their relationships...and then they ripped Barney's heart right out of him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkess Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Eh, I don't really feel sorry for Barney. I find him amusing as a character but he has been so uniformly atrocious to women that it's hard to feel any pity for him for caring about someone for once.

Jon AS Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yeah, Barney has accumulated enough bad karma to last several lifetimes. I really wish the writers would go with more funny instead of cheap melodrama, these plot develoments aren't doing anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alguien Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Holy crap. That ending was... unexpected. I hope it turns out alright.
