S09E03 "Last Time in New York" Discussion

You just got SLAPPED

it's a good thing I wasn't holding any drinks in my hand or I would have dropped it too

He's Reddit's new hero.

Linus has their contact number

im a die hard leafs fan and I still had to laugh at that

Psh as a hockey fan in general, we all love a good Leafs joke...

If I'm not mistaken, she says "how do you decide which one..." And then it trails off. I think she was gonna ask who pitches.

I can't decide between that and the back door jokes.

Classic Schmosby.

I can't wait to see the mother reaction to an authentic Schmosby moment.

It was a bottle of scotch, not a bomb.

He's looking so bored with it though :/

I wholeheartedly agree! I was so happy that they finally gave those two airtime in the finale of last season, because towards the latter seasons they kind of generalized the plots, and exclusively all of Lily's scenes were with Marshall. Early on in the show, they really established a strong friendship between Ted and Lily and they never really gave them many moments together after the early seasons.

Also, the same is true of Ted/Marshall. Despite being best friends, they hardly have any scenes together :(

Whats so significant about this? I thought it was pretty innocent on her part

can someone refresh me on what happened at the carousel?

Even James got in on the fun when he was hiding with them.

And Ted said bye to his Empie..

She's the mother kind of friend that we all need.

"My name is Rodrigo de Goya"

We all know douches like this, the best are the wine snobs who swirl a $4 glass of red wine and try to look all smart and shit

What about the scotch?

''Say goodbye to all the times you felt lost. To all the times it was a no instead of a yes. To all the scrapes and bruises. To all the heartache. Say goodbye to everything you really want to do for the last time.''

Goddamnit, Lily.

Her speech put me in tears. I really felt for Ted and I have always championed for him to be happy. He, may Schmosby it up quite a bit, but he is such a sweet soul and it hurt me to see him hurting. I can't wait for him to be happy. The silly turn of the page made me have happy tears as well, which I always thought this show gives a good mix of.

I am not ready for this show to end. :')

I gasped out loud. You don't ever do that in Wisconsin. Imagine walking into Fleet Farm and bashing the Packers.

As a Bears fan living in Wisconsin, I also felt insulted.

Ya, it's been that way for a while.

Ooh here's a link for ya: http://i.imgur.com/505w5.jpg

Maybe he had a stroke and it only affected the bottle holding side.

Robin buried a locket in Central Park next to the carousel on her first trip to New York. She made a promise to herself that she was going to move to New York and fall in love and marry a sophisticated man. And when that happens, she will go and dig the locket up and use it as her "something old". Last season, when she went digging for it, she couldn't find it and called Barney in her state of panic, but he brushed her off. She then called Ted and he left his interview and came to her to help her look. It then started raining, adding on to the bad omens Robin kept seeing as reflecting on her marriage. Ted held her hand and comforted her.

I know how the writers' minds work. This is not the last we've heard of objectophilia.

Ok, but if she hasn't finished the drink at the end of an episode, it should be assumed that at the start of the next episode, it's still the same drink, just to be certain. Any differences in liquid in the glass should be considered a continuity error.

Everybody ok with those rules?

EDIT: Also those drinks that Ted took from Lily that she did not drink shouldn't be counted.

They need a spoiler tag with those things

Didn't Ted say that Robin hated nicknames back when she and Barney were dating the first time around?

Allow my to quote Future Ted from the beginning of season 8.

"Kids, In the summer of 2012, Everyone was happy. Barney was with Quinn, Robin with Nick, Me with Victoria, and Marshall and Lily with new Baby Marvin. 2012 was the summer of love.... Which means there were absolutely no good stories. Let's skip to Autumn."

Let's be real. Barney and Robin are happy. Happy people are never interesting.

All their subplots have been uninteresting recently.

I think that every time it happens, and I just know some people are out there going "Enough with that, it's done, stop it, it's not funny anymore!" but I have to thank them for their sacrifice, because I'll be enjoying it even when I'm long since done laughing.
