Holy crap! I'd been suspecting this might happen, kinda waiting for it actually, but I really, really like how it was done.
I've been in the Robin/Barney secret shipping lane since the Bro episode in season 1 where they played lazer tag. I think Robin is a lot more fun to watch with Barney than with Ted, and Barney is just fun to watch. Plus, you can see he seems to genuinely admire Robin.
Of course, I'm apprehensive because, well, two episodes ago we found out that Barney's slept with probably over a hundred girls and might have possibly sold someone. He's not exactly a character I want to ship with anyone, especially someone as classy and decent as Robin. So I feel bad for shipping them, because I don't think hooking up with Robin is going to make Barney change his stripes anytime soon. And even though we know he used to be a squishy-hearted wait-till-marriage peacenick when he was in college, he's been a jackass for the 8 or 9 years since. And given that they're friends and know each other and actually do care somewhat about each other's welfare, when the breakup happens it could be brutal. That's if it turns into anything.
Hmm... if this were Scrubs, I would say that they'd sleep together, Robin would say "thanks, that was fun!", and then Barney would spend next season falling completely in love with her. But I don't know if they'll do that here. So far, I do like how they handle character development, so I'm hopeful that they'll write this to be hilarious but also thoughtful.
But anyway... AAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! I'm squeeing right now. I liked how the scene where Robin whispers into his ear mimics the scene at the bar from two episodes ago.
As a side note, Lily's "gangsta valley girl" speech was hilarious.
