Himym 3/10 spoilers

[thebulldog]

As soon as Lilly asked for the powder room holding the 711 bag, i called pg test. (Woo hoo! Adorable).

I am curious how they work italy out.

At least we didn't have to deal with dead mother theories after this one.

i be typing from me phone. typos and grammer dont count.

Ah, you beat me to it

Ugh. SO boring. I wish I'd known in advance because I might have just tuned in for the last five minutes and actually felt happy for them, rather than just being too bored and tired to care about the "surprise twist." Which was obvious early on in the episode.

I figured that we'd eventually see Robin on her wedding day asking Ted to hook up again because he's stable (all things considered) and Barney isn't, but it was still enraging to see that it's her wedding day and she's STILL waffling over whether or not she wants to marry Barney. Dude, get married or don't, I really don't give a shit, but stop jerking us around.

And speaking of getting jerked around, I'm not at all surprised that there were no Mother scenes in this episode, after the big health scare thing last week. I won't doubt that we don't see her again until the finale, to keep us all in suspense (and FWIW I don't think she dies ... I don't think anyone dies, for that matter).

The whole hide the pregnancy test thing was so, so stupid. Why did she have to run off to the Captain's house to take the test? Why did she hide it in a FLOWERPOT? It was such a clumsy, stupid way to bring back the Captain and Becky (Boats Boats Boats!) one more time for their victory lap.

Why is Robin's mother so caring all of a sudden? I thought Robin had said that she was cold and that they weren't close at all.

I laughed when someone off-screen threw popcorn and booed at the Karate Kid guy, but that was about it.

If the final scene in Italy was set a year in the future, why didn't Marvin look any older? He was supposed to be about two by then, right? He still looked really small.

I'm just realizing how much of our time they've wasted with that "Kennedy Package" nonsense ... if Lily suspected that she was pregnant and wasn't drinking, then why would she have ordered a constant stream of club sodas this whole time?

That plot point served no purpose other than to trick us and eat up some time. Seriously ... fuck you, writers.

Nausea? That's the only thing I could think of.

This episode was predictable, but eh.

I love the captain and Becky.

Still can't stand Robin.

I LOVED that the captain ended up with Boats Boats Boats! Hilarious.

I bet Lily went to the captain's house because the last time she bought a pregnant test at a gas station she was arrested for public urination. I thought it was a nod to that.

And, I think the Kennedy package would be so that no one noticed she wasn't drinking (and to not steal thunder.) Think about It, they've ALL been drinking this whole season. It would be super noticeable if she wasn't.

I thought she had the steady stream of drinks to help her quit smoking again. Always having something in your hand and a straw might help.

But didn't she run off because her and Marshall were fighting about the Judgeship/Italy and it was too much for her (presumably because she thought she might be pregnant) so she had to go somewhere to take the test? 

Though I agree with @mrswindycity, why the filler episodes with so few left.  Annoying!  They obviously didn't have enough material to write this season.

Yeah, that was a stretch. There's got to be some kind of public restroom at the hotel? Or the mart where she bought the test? I hated having the captain and Becky show up for no apparent purpose.
