CBS has released a clip from the upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother season 9, episode 3 “Last Time in New York” showing Barney and Robin anticipating the arrival of their elderly relatives.
Barney and Robin share a few final minutes together until a shuttle bus announces the arrival of the geriatric portion of the wedding party. What pre-wedding jitters can this crowd shake up in the anxious couple?
Once again How I Met Your Mother does what they do best; insert a random bit that is never fully resolved until you least expect it. So far the show has done a great job in the first two weeks setting up the “ring bear” vs. “ring bearer” debate. All in favor of bear?
It appears that the premise of season nine for Barney and Robin will largely focus on their fear that problems plaguing other couples will eventually interrupt their marital bliss. Even if it is a little off-putting to see Barney and Robin content in a serious relationship, the two appear to be in it until the porch years.
Do you think that the Barney and Robin trouble in paradise plot device will get old after this week? The writing runs the risk of becoming repetitive. (But then again so do Ted’s rants about finding “the one”) The writers may be attempting to leave the couple on a solid foundation for the audience. We will not have the opportunity to follow Barney and Robin into the future past their “I dos.” Hopefully the writers will begin to work in easter egg rewards for loyal fans and the casual syndication viewers.
