I thought the episodes were solid. Mother seems pretty cool and the interactions with the hotel workers in the 2nd episode were pretty funny. Pretty cool scene to end the episode.

Does anyone know if this is going to be a full length season or shortened a little bit? Its gonna be tough to make 20+ episodes about the wedding

enjoyed a whole lot about the this first/last episode of the series.

Y'all been very positive, so let me bring in what I did not like first:

1.) If Sherri Shepard is going to be in the whole fricking season, I'll be pissed. She's only good in small doses. Uggh. She's aggravating. Maybe that's only me. My SO loves her so she was pumped. Marshall needs to be with the crew.

2.) This is going to feel like a whole long season unless the writing crew has really done a good job this off season. There's just not a lot of time/story to finish off right now, so obviously there's going to be a ton of flash-forwards (tonights I enjoyed).

3.) I'm still torn on the mother. She's pretty-ish, but still not sold on her character. I'm sure we'll learn more and grow to like her.

4.) Let's be honest. Ted just fricking sucks.

Good:

1.) Barney and Robin rolled well together. Barney was clutch and Robin didn't suck being with him. Loved the incest storyline, but am worried about their dynamic with the crew.

2.) Lilly and the drinks gag. Must continue all season. She's great.

3.) Actually, Wayne Brady. I hope he's around with the gang this season a lot. He could be the gay Barney while Barney is hooked to Robin's hip.

4.) What could they possibly do? I put it as a negative, but honestly, this is pretty exciting. There's got to be a multiple episode break-up/blow-up. A Rehearsal Dinner episode, pre-wedding gitters episode, 2-part wedding episode, 2-part reception episode/clip show?, finale. That leaves a ton more stuff for them to tell.

I definitely agree that Marshall needs to get back with the crew, but I thought there was some funny parts in his role tonight. I got some good laughs out of him trying to delete the facebook picture.

I like her a lot. She's nerdy like Ted but still is able to get along with Lily really well, and I'm sure that will carry over to the rest of the gang

slap bet, another robin sparkles, lots of other stuff they can roll with. then shite like next week with the older family members arriving. they will fill it well, i have no doubts. agree with you all around on the good and bad, though.

Maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention, but why do you say they're at a wedding in the flash forward? Ted tells her that 1 year ago (before they met yet) he said that 1 year later he was going to bring his future wife back there, to that place. I didn't take that to mean that it was necessarily going to be another wedding.

I believe Ted vowed that he would come back to the hotel 1 year later with the love of his life...

Yep.

I enjoyed last night's episode. And I like the mom. She seems like a good addition to their crew.

Okay... Here is my deal. I like that the mother is finally on screen. But is the plan really to only see her interact with Ted via flashbacks/forwards about them almost meeting a bunch of times?

We're not actually going to see them meet, I guess, until the very end?

frick that shite!

Let them interact. Let's see their relationship take off. She's right there on screen. There's no need to keep teasing the audience anymore. It makes me not care about them because I know it's all a big tease.

1. chill the frick out

2. They have said the entire season takes place at the wedding so you are SOL seeing as he doesnt meet her until after he leaves the wedding.

3. I'm willing to bet the last line of the show is "And thats how I met your mother" then Ted becomes a lumberjack and stares into the camera.

You just need to quit watching if those are your beefs with the show.

I don't think they did either, and I don't think they will until the very end when Ted meets her.

Though isn't there a theory about what the mother's name is based off of a previous season? There's an episode where they're at a strip club and a stripper introduces herself to Ted and he says "And that's how I met your mother" causing his kids to freak out. I can't remember what the name was though.
