Tick, Tick, Tick....Boom

Let me start by saying this...I still love Barney. I still love Robin. I still love Kal Penn. This episode positively shattered my heart, more so than some of the dramas I invest in on TV, and that's largely because (as I told peasantings) with infidelity comes angst.

I'm glad that Barney took "the leap" and broke up with Nora, but I don't blame Robin one bit for choosing Kevin.

It all comes down to timing and right now...just isn't the right time. As much as I'm sure it will sting, I'm looking forward to seeing where the writers go from here.

On a final note, I loved loved love the Barney/Robin montage. That was amazing. I also laughed at the song that played on the boat.

The montage was wonderful! I loved that too.

I pretty much hate infidelity storylines so the fact that I was able to still enjoy this episodes says a lot, I think. I still love B, R, and Kal Penn too. :)

Although I've written a few infidelity stories in order to make Barney/Lily happen (and in one instance in S5, Robin/Ted happen), I'm not a fan of them either.

It's so true. This episode absolutely broke my heart, but I still love it nonetheless. This season is all about timing, I think, which B/R haven't been lucky with (even though they have amazing chemistry together!).

The montage was the highlight of the episode for me. It brought back so many great memories!

They do have amazing chemistry together. :)

Wow, you took this ep a lot better than I did. I've been going in this direction for a long time but now I'm officially an absolute Robin hater!

I don't understand why people are taking it out on Robin, but maybe that's just because I love the girl and I can understand her rationalization for choosing Kevin right now.
