This week's example of horrible writing... We get introduced in the first five minutes that after the last kiss between Barney and Robin, things are weird between them. We then spend the next 15 to 20 minutes watching them interact in a perfectly normal manner with no suggestion or appearance of weirdness to only have the weirdness brought back up in the final minute. I'm going to ignore the fact that at this point in their relationship there is very little to be weird about (they've already had sex, they've already dated, they are both single, etc, etc, etc) and only point out that this is as lazy as writing gets. They obviously had an idea where they want the relationship to be but didn't feel the need to establish more then two minutes of time to it. Not only did they only devote two minutes to it, but they decided to consciously ignore their own established premise for most of the episode. It's insulting.
Once again there was nothing funny, there was nothing interesting, there was nothing that pushed the bigger story forward. The only thing it had going for itself was an appearance by Mr. Belding! 16 more probably painful episodes to go.
