"She could Mosby the crap out of him!"

o1. UGH I AM SO SICK! I didn't work today because I am dying a slow and horrible cold related death. ALAS! *achoo*

o2. I realize that about 117 people have already done picspams of this but I just needed to share my own brand of over-analyzing insanity.

Great picspam! And I totally agree with your theory on Robin. I think when they slept together last season, it felt like it *meant* something, but because it's Barney, she would think that it didn't mean anything to him and that she'd be an actual crazy person to even contemplate it. So it's just deny, deny, deny.

+ She's being totally honest here. There is no Mosbying going on. I mean, Ted doesn't even Mosby this awkwardly. ha.
Yeah, I kinda thought this, too. Her body language/tone/demeanor is completely different from when she was Mosbying him on the roof. Plus, like you said, when she says "What?" she's taken aback because she thought they were having an honest conversation, and now he's reverting back to wanting to just be friends. Also, I can totally see her deciding to put herself out there because he was being completely honest and vulnerable, and she knows that he just doesn't do that kind of thing.

Marshall and Lily are precious, and I loved how excited they were when Robin made up her fake B&B story.

I'm going to feel so bad for Ted next season. Hopefully his professional life will be awesome, because it's going to suck watching Marshall/Lily and Barney/Robin when Ted still hasn't found "The One."

Yup, precisely. Barney really seemed to show with the "troubling" line that he can be more than just "Barney". Of course she always knew this, because he does show his vulnerable side from time to time...but for him to really say it like that probably meant a lot to her.

I do worry about Ted too. I mean, even though Barney/Robin won't be all obnoxiously coupley about it or ever make him feel left out, it'd still be weird for Ted just knowing all of his friends have something that he wants so badly. It's funny that Barney and Robin found the kind of love that Ted's been looking for (albeit different in a lot of ways) without even looking for it.
Back in s2 when Barney was the 5th wheel I kind of felt bad for him at times. And he wasn't even looking for a relationship. Putting Ted in that position is a little bit sad.
