User Reviews

this episode is legendary and fabulous which makes this episode wait for it legenabulous

First of all what was wrong with the showmakers the episodes air date two weeks away from each other this my only problem .Ok the things are getting fast Barney moved in with Qinn,she almost made it clear that she is ready to get married Robin clearly stated to Ted that she is out of his league and whats going to happen actually Barney was ready to marry Robin when she told she was pregnant a few weeks ago whats going on in their minds only the writers knew that we have to wait for another week .This episode is a laugh riot from the beginning to the end its another great episode in this season . Coming to the actors this episode belongs to Neil and he is legnsome, Quinn was great so did everybody I gave this episode 9 only because of the air date.
