These new photos from How I Met Your Mother‘s season 7 premiere make my skin tingle with Barney/Robin ‘shipper excitement. [Spoiler ahead]

As I’ve already told you, Barney and Robin share a lovely dance in this episode at Punchy’s wedding in Cleveland, and by the looks it, it’s going to be a lovely affair. More importantly, look at the way those two are looking at each other! Ehem. I’m fine. Totally composed. Promise.

More photos of the season premiere, airing Sept. 19, below!

    Yes! I support this whole-heartedly! I cannot wait for HIMYM to come back, and I’m so pumped about the info we’ve been hearing about Robin and Barney.

    • Ava

      ME TOO! Ever since the episode back in like season 1 or 2 when they played laser tag and drank scotch I have wanted them together. Nobody else would ever tame Barney. I can’t wait for this season!

  • Vince from NYC

    That is definatley some sort of alternate reality sequence and it definatley doesnt play out like that. ie Ted narriation: ” If you ask Robin it happened like this “show crazy dance scene ” but this is what really happened”. Still pumped for new HIMYM though..

    • kate middleton

      Totally.

      • Ashley

        That is such an HIMYM thing to do! Agreed.

  • Karl Bourbon

    Cobie Smulders has amazing legs.

    • cam

      I mean, it’s not even fair!

    • TQB

      Right??? Damn, girl!

    • Ashley

      Seriously! Those legs are smokin’! Damn, girl indeed!

  • D

    My bet is that this is a Robin fantasy. Barney has to deal with his feeling for Nora before Robin becomes a possibility

  • Michael

    These show rocks I wonder what other clue of the mother we will get

  • Karate Pants

    I hate Lily’s shoes…and, okay, her hair too. She looks awful.
    I wish I could believe in Barnobin, but it’s just not happening.

    • Eliza

      Maybe you can’t believe in “Barnobin” because they are really called Swarkles.

      • Laila

        or BrOTP. but Swarkles is alright, too.

      • rlb237

        Definitely heard BrOTP much more often for them than anything else.

      • Faye

        I thought it was Barman and Robin

    • kate middleton

      Hate the shoes too. The dress is cute, but not with booties!

      Jason Segel is looking good though – LOVE him.

  • kate middleton

    I love some Barney/Robin. But why would Barney, Robin, Lily and Marshall be at Punchy’s wedding? He’s Ted’s friend from high school, and he’s visited NYC like twice. Punchy must be hard up for friends if he invited all of them.

    • kim in kentucky

      YES!! That’s exactly the comment I was going to write!!

  • Shannon

    Dang….NPH is so sexy. Why must he be gay? haha

  • Gene-O

    Dayum! It looks like that Cobie still has those Maria Hill legs from her stint on The Avengers.

  • Shannon

    This season has to frickin’ hurry up and get here. My Robin/Barney senses are tingling.

    • Liz

      Jen Johnson! It does look like her.

  • Elizabeth from The Cleve

    I missed the finale, but please tell me Punchy’s colors were brown & orange for the Browns… that’s such a Cleveland thing to do.

    • Marsha

      You can see a football in the floral centerpiece in the last picture, so I’d say yes.

  • The Squatch

    In the third picture, where Ted and Punchy are wrestling for the microphone, who is that woman to Ted’s left? It looks kind of like that “Jen” (don’t know her whole name) from Big Brother a few seasons ago.

    • Chris

      That is Jen from Big Brother, she was in a past episode as well. I think its the episode where Barney and Ted get in the fake fight in the alley…

  • Amy

    Swarkles! They belong together. Can’t wait to see the dance even if it never really happened.

  • Maria

    What’s with Robin’s hair???

    • Ms. Chanandler Bong

      Preach! It looks terrible! But she’s never had good hair on the show.

      • Swarkles4Ever

        It’s because she’s Canadian….

    • Ted

      I think it’s a wig. I think her hair is shorter since she’s doing the Avengers movie.

  • shef

    I’m sorta “meh” on the Barney-RObin thing (want to see the quality of the writing before I form an opinion).

    The REAL question is: Was the person in the spray-tanning room asleep when Josh Radnor had his appointment? My first thought was “Oh, hey, they got Kal Penn to guest star!”

    • wedding guest

      ahahaha the best aspect of this comment is that the powers that be do have kal penn guest starring this season, but not in the first episode.
