How I Met Your Mother: Glitter

     Alright, thanks to my sister's wedding, I'm a week behind, so bare with me...
   
     I might come off like a hypocrite on this one, but I think I'm over Robin Sparkles.  I know I've been calling for more references and flashbacks, but I feel like the Robin Sparkles storyline has been played out.  Did we really need a third episode on this subject?  Instead of coming up with creative storylines that intertwine and amuse, the writers answer to bringing the show back to its roots seems to be to rehash tired ideas.
     And what ever happened to Barney and his boutonniere?  That would have made a great side story.  It was introduced and then never mentioned again.  I was much more interested in that then Robin and Lilly.  Is it me or is Lilly become really annoying?  Her character feels so one dimensional at the moment and I couldn't care less about that dimension.  She comes off as whinny and concerned about issues that just don't matter.  She's acting like she's already pregnant!
     That being said, the Robin Sparkles stuff made me laugh.  I realize how that comes off.  I bitch about a storyline and in the next breath say it was funny.  But it was.  As much as I've felt we've covered the material, I was humored by the jokes.  The beaver song was classic.  Let's just agree that we don't need to have another whole episode about Robin Sparkles again.
