On to the good stuff
So what happened when Ted, Barney, Lily, Marshall and Robin returned to our television sets?
It starts with a wedding, well actually it starts with a warning that the story is far from over. This season viewers can tell is going to be about Barney's journey to the aisle. While the show may have started out with Ted sharing his search for love, viewers have come to love the womanizing side-show that Neil Patrick Harris performs oh so well. NPH is a star, his comicly entertaining and it we had a great glimpes of "relationship Barney" when he and Robin were involved.
When the season returns, feelings and secrets are revealed at Punchy's wedding. The gang finds out that Lily is preggers and Robin reveals that she still has feelings for Barney and wants a second chance with him. Unfortunately she finds out that her timing is way off and he has initiated phone calls with Nora. The first half ends with Marshall ruining a wedding and Ted declaring that he is going to start looking for love again.
In the second half of the premiere, Marshall makes a declaration that he is not going to drink ever again. The funny thing about the human condition is that, as soon as we make a promise or take on a challenge to change our ways, it becomes that much harder and well even though he ends up streaking naked at the age of 33 around NY city, he stills ends up landing a job doing what he'll love.
Barney accepts Nora challenge to never lie to her again, even when she asks him about all the ways he has lied to get a girl to sleep with him. Of course this leads to her forming a more distasteful opinion of Barney and she leaves. But before she exits, Barney tells her that he will not leave the all night diner until she gives him a second date. In the end, Nora can't resist her feelings for him and gives him yet another chance.
The most exciting revelation of the season premiere by far is that "Cupcake Girl," aka Victoria is back. For those of you who don't know or remember her, she was the girl that helped Ted move on from Robin for a while. She can be categorized as the one that got away. Victoria is this adorable baker but she got a Fellowship in Germany and had to leave. While Ted and her tried a long distance relationship--it didn't turn out too well. At the end of the first season he lies to Robin about breaking up with her and cheats on Victoria along with losing Robin's trust.
I guess the real question is, is she the one? Most likely not but I can't wait to see what happens between her and Ted this time around.
