Noooo! They won't turn Barney into S1 Ted, no way. The fans would skin them alive. I would skin them alive. Nuh uh, no S1 Ted. But yeah, I have a feeling that if Robin's to fall for Barney, it won't be the lovey dovey version.

I guess there is a long way till a real relationship...but that's what I'm expecting to be honest..a built-up.

But I don't think they would turn him into a Ted...it's Barney, they can't do it! He sounded a bit like Ted but at the same time he was the old Barney we know and love...bimbos.

i personally have no problem with ted. i love him and actually, i was totally into their relationship seasons 1 and 2.
but i dont want it to be the same between her and barney. i want her to love him for him, obviously.

I don't think they're gonna turn Barney in s1!Ted either... the fact is, Robin dated Ted and it didn't work out... so she needs someone different. Cue Barney, as we love him

Guys, let's be real here. Robin doesn't want a committment and just wants to have fun and be no strings attached. And Barney is love!sick for Robin and could rock the boat quicker then anticipated. I'm sorry, but if you don't see it, then that's a strong case of denial.

I'm rooting for these two... but, it's going to be a bumpy ride getting there. Which is half the fun, honestly.

Finally saw it, and loved it. I've been waiting for Barney/Robin a long time and am glad it's finally started to happen. Hoep they won't feel pressured to rush and and will take their sweet time with it.

Omg, i loved the episode! It was just amazing. Barney and Robin <3

i think what i love most about barney/robin is that i dont have expectations of them. if they somehow decide they are both ready to settle down, then awesome... if not, it makes for a great storyline.
i do love barney/robin, but i cant get over my love for ted/robin in seasons 1 and 2.

Finally saw it and I was thoroughly impressed. Probably the best premiere I've seen this year. I laughed the entire time.

I wasn't a Ted/Stella fan until now. They were beyond cute/awesome in this episode. I loved the whole Star Wars plot line (and Sarah Chalke owned the opening scene with the different reactions).

Barney. Oh Barney. Where do I begin? So much love. I'm all for love!sick Barney and bimbo loving Barney. And the touch of turning on the news at the end and his little smile was too much. My heart grew ten times from that scene. But man, NPH was so awesome.

And Robin's need for him to be dirty? Oh my god.

Marshall was creepy and I loved it. Popping up when Ted left the room and scaring Stella equals greatest moment ever.

I'm so happy the premiere was so good. Damn, this show owns.

I totally agree on Ted & Stella. Not being a huge fan of them I was really dreading their scenes together, but the Star Wars storyline was hilarious. I am slowly starting to root for them.

Seeing this different side of Barney is so adorable. I love that there is so much more to Barney than we have seen. He was so adorable through the entire episode, but that little smile at the end was so awwwww!!!

*~*Rach*~*

I'm surprised at how many people have taken til this episode to warm up to Ted/Stella... I loved them from the start but I didn't realise there were so many people who didn't!

I'm starting a season 4 rewatch...

Awesome season opener.

Marshall at the beginning asking what everyone was doing - hilarious.

Barney in love! I thought the scene in the kitchen with Lily was too cute. I felt so bad for him with the dinner though, Robin completely missed what he was gonig for.

The star wars obession Ted/Stella were cute in this one. Oh and her calling wookie a bear. Hehe.

Ellipsis

Oh this is back when I still liked Stella Ted was so cute in this episode!

Mysteria

He was And the whole thing with him and Marshall watching her watch the movie... hilarious. I was cracking up at that whole bit.
