  The last season! I started watching HIMYM when the 5th season finished airing and fell in love with the Swarkles/BrOTP/Barney+Robin couple. They are perfect for each other!!! I am so glad they are going to start this series with their wedding and show us the sweet newly wed couple!~~~



  Before I go ahead and blab about the new season, you should see this recap lol



   Now, I think we're ready. After watching this season premier, I have to say, I am quite disappointed. The tempo seems a bit slow and some of the acting are way over exaggerated. I fast forwarded the majority of this episode. Not a good start... The story is progressing, though, at least. Every character have their struggles and are in the process of moving on to the next stage in life.

  

  **SPOILERS ALERT, STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SPOILED**

  Ted is as usual, an idiot, but today, his driving rants and actions are actually funny - lol! Guess what his wife's nickname for him as a driver is? -"Lady Tedwena Slowsby" --- Classic. I actually would like to go on Mosby road trip- his a great trip planner... in a way like my dad hahaha. Sneak peak again~




   Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is always hard. I thought Caucasian people have it easier since most of the married couple don't live with their parents (unlike us Asians). I guess there are always rifts between the two women who loves one same man. Lily and Marshall's mom have this tension that Marshall, like majority of men is unable to sense. This story line is actually pretty realistic...

  Marshall is still trying hard to conceal that he got offered his dream job and now has conflicted feelings about moving to Rome. It's Lily vs. Marshall now for both of them. I guess in the following episodes when truth gets out, Lily and Marshall will have one episode with ridiculous fights then end up reaching a heart-warming conclusion of staying at NY. (aw...) For now, though, Marshall is going all crazy to try to keep this secrete from his wife... apparently for a smart lawyer, deleting a picture off a webpage was too hard. *shake head* Marvin saves the day with one random click- we all know that's not going to happen in real world. But this is kinda funny, cuz it showed how people always try to "help" others when they are figuring something out on the computer, most of the time it just complicates the matter... Lastly, I feel bad for that lady who had to delay her flight because of Marshall...

  The "mom" that we've been introduced to met Lily on the train in this episode and they clicked instantly. From how she talks, she does seem like a perfect fit for Ted. They shared "S'o'm Bitches" (Cookies) which totally makes me hungry right now. Now that I think about it...Weird... they (Lily and the mom) were going to the same place... how come they did not appear at the church at the end together?



  Ted still can't let Robin go... he should've make Barney tracked down that locket instead of ever wanted to let it be a wedding gift... Oh, well, Robin would not choose Ted just because how sweet he is. She's already made that choice of not marrying Ted many times. I feel bad for Ted, but that's what love is about. It is unfair. 

  Robin and Barney's wild card set is going to make their wedding so fun!!! ( I can't wait!) Today, their biggest obstacle is the suspicion that they are probably blood related (*gasp*- not a surprise if this is an Asian drama, but for an American drama?!). If this was an Asian drama- they could even be set to really be blood related and have an incest relationship (come on, lots of Asian dramas have brother-sister/ cousin-cousin/ father-daughter kind of couples XD)... Of course, this is a sitcom, it is just meant to be another "funny" plot. I did not find it that interesting at all... normally I love these two, but this story ain't really that good. If they had done that sad, crying, heart-breaking when couples find out they are blood related, it would've been more fun. Instead, they went with the disgusted route... which ruined this!!!:P

  Sweetest BR moment of the day---- 
B:"Our wedding is going to be legen~dary"
R: "No wait for it?"
B: "I"ve got you. I don't have to wait for it anymore."
  I can't wait for the BEST WEDDING EVER!(P.S. I hope the ring bear is cute XD)
