Why Robin and Barney

Date April 23, 2008


Even before the “Sandcastles in the Sand” episode of How I Met Your Mother, the should or shouldn’t Robin and Barney issue has been debated. Since the last moments of the episode (s.i.t.s.), it had become an even more prevalent issue. (Examples of the discussion: howimetyourblog, HIMYM Message Board, comments from have-you-met-ted’s sandcastles discussion).

I don’t want to spend a ton of time talking about the consequences, affects, etc… for that there is a great discussion going on here concerning the next few episodes. However, I feel that Barney made the best case for Barney and Robin back in Season 1, in the episode entitled Zip,Zip,Zip. If you need to visualize it in a more current setting simply imagine Barney says “Stella” instead of “Victoria.” Enjoy.

    i think…i can figure out the mother from season 3 episode…”no tommorow”..u see..its all about snt paddy s day party……in the party ted collides with a woman..whom he says sorry….and she walks off…i think it could have been avoided…i mean was it required for cbs to show this one……its just a wild guess….
    but i think…..there are chances of she being the mother bcoz it seems the woman ted said sorry was leaving the party……..and she must have forgotten her yellow umbrella…..so what say?
