in all this chaos, we found safety
Over the last week, I finished watching the remaining three seasons of How I Met Your Mother; this included watching all twenty-three then-existing episodes of the fourth season in one day. I dreamed about Robin and Barney that night.
Which brings me to the fact that I love them. I seriously don't think I've shipped anything so hard in years. I want to do nothing but watch an endless show of their stupid/awesome shenanigans around New York.
I'm really glad I managed to stay relatively unspoiled, despite being pretty much eaten up by curiosity. I don't think I would have been as first delighted, then horrified, then even more delighted if I'd known even a little of what was going to happen.
I'm also really happy with how they've ended up handling Robin and Barney so far. I was worried because I wasn't sure anything they did could be quite right-- obviously they need to be together, or at least I need them to be together, but it would be stupid and out of character for them to just jump into something happily at this point. So this uncertain-but-hopeful ending for now leaves things in a perfect place for next season and I don't even know how I'll wait until then.
Also, the rapidfire Mosbying exchange was one of the best things ever. I've watched it about five times already.
The rest of the episode wasn't that exciting-- the thing with the goat was especially pretty boring and disappointing considering all the buildup-- but I didn't really care, because I'm attached to these characters anyway. The roof-jumping was pretty cheesy, but it made me happy, especially the moment of Barney looking at Robin and then deciding to make the leap. I'm also really glad Ted sucked it up and took the damn teaching job. I found myself liking him a lot more throughout season four just because, while he remained a pretentious douche, they took to acknowledging that as a real part of his character.
But my only real thoughts are these:
♥ROBIN AND BARNEY♥
