TV Wrap-Up: How I Met Your Mother: season 3 completed!

[timepiececlock]

Viewed: 1x01-3x20

Favorite Episodes: Slap Bet, How I Met Everyone Else, The Goat, that one where Robin plays laser tag.

Favorite Character: Barney, natch. How could I not love watching NPH steal every scene he appears in?

Least Favorite Character: It used to be Robin, but now it's Ted. Though that's almost unfair, because I don't dislike Ted. I just don't love him as much as I love the other four.

OTP: Robin/Barney/TheMallSong.

Favorite Jokes Are Always From: Lily & Marshall. Because they are a unit and must always be written as a pair, even in a tv review. I love Lily's sexual comments and Marshall's sweet geeky singing. And the phrase "You've been lawyered."

Favorite Surprise As A Viewer: the scene where Ted meets Barney for the first time, and the entire 3-way conversation at the table.

Favorite Recurring Joke: It's a toss-up between the Slap Bet and "Best friend!"

Who is Ted's future kids' mother? I think we haven't met her yet, but I predict we will in season 4. It's really pushing the limit of a decent reveal.

Fanfic: YES PLEASE. Um... Barney/Robin is great, but gen works too, and more humor the better!

Fandom: I'm going to dive in. If anyone else on my flist loves this show, tell me! I never had an inkling until last week that it would be so awesome. It's almost given me faith in sticoms again.

Plus, now I have a show I can laugh at, and save my angsting for shows about aliens and vampires and robots and time travel and firebenders and killer time-traveling robots and robot aliens and possibly alien vampires too.

You should see the silly grin plastered on my face right now.

Azula is the person who makes a "crazy/hot" scale moot That is strangely PERFECT. Azula/Barney sounds... dare I say it? Legendary...

And I want to have the second idea's babies! Awesome Barney and his Awesome Dog. He so totally would! write it write it write it write it

BTW, have you already watched Dr. Horrible PartI?! http://drhorrible.com/act_I.html

Let's make a pact!

You sketch or draw Barney & Barney's Awesome DogPuppy, and I'll write this ficlet.

I'll let you choose the puppy type since you'd have to draw ut.



I haven't seen Dr. Horrible yet, no! I will immediately.

Azula/Barney OTF! hint: the F is not Friendship.

I suck at drawing dogs but YOU ARE ON!!!!

Go watch now! NPH is adorable. Can't wait to see him live and fangirl about him.

Pinkyswear! ::holds out pinky finger:: Bring your A Game!

NPH: "Wow SARCASM, that's original." ::pause:: ::pause:: ::shrug::

Now I want to cosplay someone in Dr. Horrible... somehow! But I have too many cosplays already! Cruel world!

::pinky swears!:: Done!

Male or female dog?

I kind of think he should have a female dog (just seems to fit), but a male dog is more "bro" style.

Re: ::pinky swears!:: Done!

[irrel.livejournal.com]

Don't know why, but I think a male dog would be better.

Re: ::pinky swears!:: Done!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Settled that then.

Re: ::pinky swears!:: Done!

ooh, he could put off naming it until the end of the ficlet, so that when everyone else meets the dog they finally hear its "legendary" name choice.

I'm totally picture Barney posing, suited up, and the puppy is beside him, posing with nose in the air and "suited up" collar of awesome. And then another image, same clothes, with the puppy doing something embarrassing/cute/puppyish and Barney's totally lost his cool pose.

You don't have to draw that, of course, but that's the general theme of the pairing in my head.

Re: ::pinky swears!::

But Barney is even harder to draw than a dog. Believe me, I've tried lol I'll keep trying, though, I'm not one to give up easily *brave face*

Re: ::pinky swears!::

I have never tried to draw real people as cartoons. If it were me I'd probably just oversimplify until it was a blond guy with maybe-blue-dots for eyes. ::sheepish::

YOu can do it!

...this laundry song is so cute!

Re: ::pinky swears!::

[irrel.livejournal.com]

I freaking loved the songs <3

Yeah, I should just draw a blond guy in a suit, who cares if it doesn't look like NPH...

"You need anything dampened... or soggy..."

HAHAHAHA.
