Some Details Were Planned Ahead of Time
The writers took their time and planned ahead even the most insignificant details about the show’s characters. For instance, we found out that Barney couldn’t use chopsticks in the first season, and his inability to use them continued throughout the show whenever the group ate Chinese food. It was only in season seven that we found out this was all a part of Barney’s plan to see Lilly’s boobs.
