The Most Awesome Thing I Saw Last Week: Season Finales

How I Met Your Mother –  Well, first of all, I’m just glad this season of Claire Huxtable-ing both Allyson Hannigan’s and Cobie Smulders’s ever expanding bellies is over! The finale moved along both the titular story–Ted is now a professor of architecture, and The Mother is apparently in the class–and in the story of Barney and Robin.  In the latter, Robin overhears Barney tell Ted he’s in love with Robin and seeks the advice of Lily and Marshall. They suggest a “Mosby”; in other words, do what Ted did on their first date in the pilot, and profess her love.  She does and it works; Barney is over her instantly, until he learns the truth.  Their tete a tete in Ted’s hospital room (we finally found out the deal with the goat!  And it kicked Ted’s ass!) was so fun to watch.  These two have a ton of chemistry, and I love how things are being developed.  Here’s hoping we meet Mom next season.
