      Well, it's time to move on. Thank God that this is coming to an end. At least for now, if they don't come up with a new 'smart' idea about prolonging the series, we might have the Mrs. Mosby in the next couple of episode; or, at least some information about her.

      The Playbook was gone, and appears for one last time just to disappear again. It was fun once again seeing Barney with his new apprentice in action. But, it was necessary for that to come up, one last 'fight' between Robin and Barney. That honesty from Barney was something we didn't see before, and a new phase for him. I suppose we're going to continue seeing a kind of a 'bipolar' Barney episode after episode.

      I miss seeing the little Marvin, one of the cutest babies on TV in the last years. I think this is a new stage for the series, if all of the Ted's girlfriends are gone FOREVER. With Barney engaged, and Ted off the market, we can expect a new a more serious approach of the show, more romantic, and more about the mother. I have to admit that Jeanette was cute, and necessary. Her character perfectly fits the story.

      then this would be yet another filler episode. The weekend at Barney's scene was great. Barney is whipped and has been tamed, he was the main source of humour, take him out of the equation and what do you get?



      Writers and producers, don't let the show drag onto another season, let Ted meet his wife, and end on a high note.

      He's the engine running this show aha, like a meme said

      "who'd know he would turn into a god" (minor case g)

      Jeannette is extremely sick... really sad to see Ted even hanged out with her,

      she's just messed up... Anyone having self-dignity, get rid of that kind of people

      Back at Barney, his way of fixing things up with Robin... A true masterpiece xD

      And the playbook... That's just... Another masterpiece >:Omoreless

      It felt like a very rushed episode, but we're rid of Jeanette. Not of all the other fakes we're sure to be thrown between now and the wedding, but no more fooling around on Ted's part. This episode gave us decent closure on that chapter of Ted's life. Everyone else is heading somewhere new. I want to see more focus on Ted in the coming episodes - and a return to the outstanding jokes. Like the end to the Slap Bet. Decent episode, movin' right along. Let's actually get going somewhere, though. I'm tired of being stagnant.moreless
