The inclusion of the item that references Robin liking guns as continuity is a misuse of the idea of "continuity". If well-established character traits being shown count as "continuity", then "Barney tries to pick up women in a bar" would be continuity this episode (and in most). References to the threesome belt or to a rarely appearing person like the pizza guy are good continuity, as is reference to plot elements that call back past episodes (like the champagne cork incident). But demonstrations of every little character trait that has previously been established is not. Otherwise, the continuity section of each episode would have dozens of more entries.

Robin likes guns; Barney picks up women
The inclusion of the item that references Robin liking guns as continuity is a misuse of the idea of "continuity". If well-established character traits being shown count as "continuity", then "Barney tries to pick up women in a bar" would be continuity this episode (and in most). References to the threesome belt or to a rarely appearing person like the pizza guy are good continuity, as is reference to plot elements that call back past episodes (like the champagne cork incident). But demonstrations of every little character trait that has previously been established is not. Otherwise, the continuity section of each episode would have dozens of more entries. 99.192.76.22 (talk) 02:22, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
