False. Theyve built their entire show on the fact that the entire story is important and the little things do matter. They set the bar there, i just expect them to continue to stay at that level which they havent at all

Maybe Barney was over her at the time. People in real life change their minds all the time. Have you never had a friend that dated the same person twice or months/years after initially becoming friends? Or maybe he wasn't over her and just telling Ted that to make himself/Ted feel better.

The show always makes a point to leave doors open when they know they want to come back to it. The writers went out of there way to show Barney tell Ted with a complete straight face that he was over her and not have a second thought about it. They did this to move along his characters development past playboy scared of commitment into someone mature enough to settle down and develop his relationship with Quinn (who he shouldve actually married).

Then they go and shite on all that by going "screw all that stuff we showed you the past 3 seasons..were gonna mash together these two people that obviously dont make any sense together because we wanted a shocking season 7 finale! Gotcha!!"

quote:
For all we know, she told them off screen

Really? Really? You cant see how awful that is? You cant make something as big as someone not being able to have kids, and make such a huge deal about it when she finds out, and mention that she keeps it a secret...and then ignore it under the premise of "she told them offscreen". Dont you think that would be a big part of all of their lives? shite, Ted would have an aneurism from the quadruple apiffineys he would have after hearing that news. The writers have completely ignored it and may just ignore it throughout the way or find some sloppy way to throw it in at the literal last minute
