And I'm mad at BBT for trying to wedge Leonard/Penny down our throats. *pukes*
And yeah, blech, but tonight was fun until the final scene.
I did not like this episode, and I did not like the way they went about breaking up Barney and Robin. It's too crazy and sitcommy to me, and I don't think it's true to either of the characters. And that's super frustrating. I mean, I ship them, too.
BUT. I think the writers got B/R together and then realized they only had a few stories. And then they realized it couldn't last forever. And then they turned it over to Chris Harris - who loves the crazy sitcommy stuff (his last ep was The Front Porch) - to end it. And lo, it was kinda stupid.
BUT. While I think The Rough Patch is the lowest point of the season so far, next week's episode is my favorite so far, partially in the way that it uses Classic Barney. And Classic Barney has been used to excellent effect in the post-Rough Patch season that I've read so far (I read the table draft of 511 this morning).
SO MY POINT. I love Robin/Barney in the flirting and the sitting-next-to-each-other-in-the-bar and the OMG-they're-perfect-for-each-other, but I think that for the most part, the writers fumbled the BroTP ball, and it's ultimately a good thing that they've hit this story beat and moved on before it got painful.
Sorry, I've just been waiting to get that out since we shot this one. I'm clearly a terrible shipper (considering this is the only couple I've ever really shipped).
It's too bad they didn't know what to do with them. Maybe they should have been creeping the comm... ;)
Can I friend you? We seem to have a lot in common!
Sure, let's be friends! I have to warn you, I've gotten terrible at updating my LJ lately, but I still definitely keep up with my flist. :)
*hugs tight*
I tend to agree but I think it's more a failure of execution than of anything. I still think they are great together and I ship them almost as hard as I ship Penny/Sheldon...but that's another story. :)
It's not so much that Barney and Robin broke up that irks me...that would've made me VERY disappointed anyway, but still...what makes me ANGRY is that it was written so damn BADLY. It was insanely OOC (they're just "too awesome"?!? WHAT?!?!), some of what they said was just downright confusing (they're too much the same seemed to be a big point of why they should break up...so then, why didn't Ted/Robin work I'd like to know? Oh, WAIIIT, they were too DIFFERENT.), there was no real development from the we rock as a couple vibe from Duel Citizenship to we're MISERABLE in this episode, and what's worst of all is that outside of the B/R thing, I found almost NOTHING funny last night. I know a lot of people found things to laugh at, but I thought everything felt very silly (and not in a good way) and forced.
*sigh*
I'm holding out hope that maybe this is all just a sweeps plot or something. Or that they do plan for B/R endgame, and they're just going to wait on it for a season or two longer. Who knows? I'm not giving up, but it's going to be hard shipping these two from now on. :(
All they had to do was keep writing them as the same Bros just with sex. Bros with Benefits, thinking they were "lying" as Lily put it in "Definitions". ♥
But instead they tried to turn them into Marshall/Lily Lite! :( Why?!?
