Neil

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zoo_or_False&curid=26886789&diff=355956685&oldid=355943061 An editor added a "Cultural reference" noting that Neil Patrick Harris was coincidentally called Neil in the scene. It was fair enough to remove this but I'm adding it here in case there is a better way to present it. The LA Times review of Zoo or False does note "It was a little odd to hear people calling Neil Patrick Harris by his real name" -- Horkana (talk) 13:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
