Twitter'How I Met Your Mother': Building to a Robin-Barney romance?
"How I Met Your Mother" is going to tease us this week with a new episode, then take next week off before returning again the last week in April. And the show also seems to be teasing us about something else: a perhaps-imminent coupling of Barney and Robin.
This is just speculation on my part, but after viewing the video below -- called "BRo Love" (the B and R stand for Barney and Robin, natch), it's a montage of all the romantic, semi-romantic and out-of-context nice stuff involving the two characters -- it's not hard to think that "HIMYM" is headed toward something like that in the near future.
That aspect of the show has taken a bit of a back seat to other storylines of late -- in fact, we haven't seen or heard much about it since Barney's TV-smashing, misinterpreted "I love you" escapades back in January. Even the CBS logline for this week doesn't say anything about them -- instead, it's all about Ted starting his own architecture firm: "When Ted loses his job and decides to form his own architectural firm out of his apartment, he hires an intern to help get his company off the ground, but the intern gets too close for comfort with some of Ted's friends."
But I can't help but wonder what the show is building toward, particularly in the light of co-creator Carter Bays' comments last month that he and his fellow writers had already come up with the "dramatic climax" to the Barney-Robin story. I don't know if something will happen this week, but it has to be coming, right?
Check out the video and then weigh in: Where do you think Robin and Barney are headed?

Not gonna lie-- that video got a number of high-pitched squeals out of me.
I reeeeeaally want these two together, and have ever since the first season, from the episode when Robin was Barney's temporary wing-man. And while I've always liked Barney, he's my favorite character by a mile in any episode involving him pining after Robin. NPH has been doing so great with this, and I think those two have undeniable chemistry.
Here's hoping that this video is an endorsement of good times to come (even if they are only after some hard times, as states the Sit-Com Code), rather than a fake-out to something that won't work out.
BECAUSE IT HAS TO WORK OUT!
*BRo Love 4ever*
It's been building since S1, but obviously a big thread of this season as Barney! (gasp) admitted to Lily he was in love with Robin in the first ep.
So, yes, they will get together, the question is what will happen after that. Barney & Robin are both very independent people so I hope the show goes an interesting route with their relationship. They could/would never be a "normal" relationship.
LOVE Neil Patrick Harris.
One of the cleverest, best-written shows on TV. I doubt if Barney and Robin will be permanent.
Unfortunately, too many episodes focus on who's screwing whom. I guess that's the norm nowadays for TV sitcoms. I wonder what families with small kids watch>
SQUEEEEEEEEE! I love HIMYM!
Way to go to CBS for making their own fanvid! I love this couple and this definitely showed why. Something's going to happen and it better be soon if the climax is in May.

Not fair!! I can't see it since I'm located in Canada. Is there anywhere else this is posted?
Kathleen - I pulled the video from CBS.com. Not sure if the same issue will apply there, but it's worth a shot.
Maybe I'm the only one who cares, but when are they going to get back to the story; you know, the one about how Ted met the kids' mother?
