you got Mosby'd

As season finales go, that was a pretty good one.  Though I feel it's only right to tell you that at the beginning when Robin said to Barney "I think I'm in love with you" and then he ran away I was about to get REALLY mad.  If that was the way they resolved that story, it would not have been cool (I have a bit of a temper).

I really should have known better, it wouldn't have been HIMYM if that was the case.  Let me back up.  How much did I love the Canadian suit analogy Barney used to tell Ted he wants to go for it with Robin? 

"Remember that was your answer Ted, because the suit is Robin."
"I'm with you, buddy."
"Yea, because I just explained it to you!"

I'm glad that Robin overheard and now that they've mentioned it I do find it impressive that Lily was able to keep the secret from her for so long.  And that while Lily has known about the feelings for seven months, Marshall has known about them for six months, 29 days.  (also, I wonder how long ago they filmed this so that Alyson Hannigan could be in it?)


Marshall standing on the ledge trying to jump to the neighbor's deck was pretty funny, though I remain unconvinced that tiny little Lily could have made that jump.  She's about half the size of the rest of them!  But I digress.  (I did wonder where the owners of that apartment were...)


I'm so glad Ted did not end up making the cowboy hat restaurant, but I like that he lost out to the same Swedish architects as the GNB building.  And poor Ted got beat up by a goat... did anyone else notice that the song over that scene was "Murder Train" by James van der Beek's band (I can't remember his character's name)?  That was hilarious.


I think it's pretty safe to assume that the teaching job Ted ended up taking was the NYU job that Tony offered him, which again puts Stella in the position of being the reason he met the mother, albeit indirectly.  I'm so excited the mom is in the class!  That better mean we get to meet her next year even if they don't actually spell out that it's her! (I'm thinking that because she'll be his student that would raise ethical dilemmas so he probably meets her again later when she's not a student anymore, and she remembers him as her teacher...I'm just guessing)


Other little things:


- Lily telling Marshall she was pregnant to get him off the ledge was cute (even if she was lying)



- But it was funnier when she told him to get back up there and jump and she hoped he'd die after he said he noticed she gained a little weight

- The flashbacks to all the times Marshall didn't jump to the other deck were enjoyable, particularly the first one with the kiddie pool.



- The hospital scene between Robin and Barney was my favorite.  She Mosby'd him three times!  And then they made out and decided to deal with it later.  Perfect.  

I can't wait for next season (or for when they finally put this season on DVD, which will inevitably be about 2 minutes before next season starts)!!!
