I am so furious after watching this episode that this should be a pretty short post. The fact that subterfuge is becoming the only trick in the writer's bag has made this show extremely frustrating to watch. It's like the writer's decided to take everything I hated about Lost and apply it to a sitcom. I don't want to be lied to or misled, just tell me a funny story about friends hanging out and growing up. Unlike Charlie Brown, I will only have the football pulled away from me so many times before I go home and I am dangerously close to going home. I groaned when they announced Robin wasn't pregnant even though I knew it was another false positive, then I got confused about why they would announce that Barney was Robin's husband even though I figured that's the way things are going, then I wondered why they would show Robin's kids if they were telling us she couldn't be pregnant because why do we need yet another mystery, and then I threw my remote across the room when she told us the whole thing was a lie. Robin has become a totally loathsome character and I'm not sure why I should be emotionally involved with Ted wanting to cheer her up because Ted shouldn't be wasting his energy on such a horrible person.
3-7-2. This show better pick things up or it may go the way of Glee and disappear from my TIVO.
