- Fridge Brilliance: Though many people criticize this episode for the manner in which Barney & Robin break up, it makes sense if you think about it. Both are alpha personalities who always have a need to be in charge and rarely compromise on that, which is what a relationship needs. You can chalk it up to "bad writing" or being "cliched" but sometimes, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
