Oh yea, He's a professor

5.01 "Definitions"

That's right, your favorite architect on television has entered into the academic world with the best outfit a professor could want. The lasso and fedora from Indiana Jones (man, I am such a geek :D)

While Ted is attempting to figure out what kind of professor he wants to be--while still teasing us with a bit of hints as to who the love of his life is; aka the mother, Lily is determined to make Barney and Robin have "the talk."


Yes that's right after all the drama and the wish washy-ness that this comedy could take Robin and Barney had a secret romance all summer long while using the facade of a friendship. I never realized before this episode how controlling Lily really can be. After a fiasco that involves Barney punching a guy that Robin is on a date with, Lily locks them both in a room until they define their relationship in a satisfactory manner--according to what she needs to hear. Since both Barney and Robin have a very hard time with relationships this proves to be very amusing, but ultimately they decide while they aren't sure they want the titles of boyfriend and girlfriend they have to get out of the room she they decided to lie and say they are. Yet in the end you have to question if it really is a non-truth, because while they may not fit typical cliches, they definitely treat one another with those regards.

Overall I'd say that this epi was happy making but not as hilarious as some of the greater hits within this collection. But, YAY it airs tonight at 8 on CBS, and we shall see what the gang has in store for us tonight with their ever entertaining stories.
