I guess that it was more about Stella's unresolved issues that Ted's. also, side note: where is Lucy. Stella and Lucy's dad were on the ferry, so where was the kid?
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Oh! I thought that in the beginning of their relationship Stella had said that Lucy's dad was totally out of the picture. Did I make that up?

No, she said that. But, when you have a kid with someone, they can only be out of the picture but so much.

I don't think that's necessarily true. He could have been a one-night stand or married or just didn't want to be part of their lives at all. I thought it might be a ret-con and I'm sad that it is. This show is usually so good with the continuity!

I love the VW commercials too, lisah.

I'm not really looking at it as a retcon, or I guess it's hand-wavable, particularly after last night's episode. Stella had (has) big-time Tony issues, so I can see her telling someone else that he's completely out of the picture, in an effort to convince herself that he's completely out of the picture.
I really loved that episode. A lot.

I could buy this but the first time we see Tony w/ Ted it's obvious that they've met and had some sort of relationship before. And, as far as I remember, that hasn't been mentioned previously at all.

That's a good point, but a lot of Ted and Stella's relationship has taken place off screen, so I'm still okay with it.
I am going to miss Sarah Chalke. I'm mostly glad she's not the mother, but I really enjoyed her turn as Stella.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I was disappointed by The Office last night. Too much advancing the story lines, not enough funny. Almost soap opera.
Okay, the "let's hang around while Michael tells his mother he's engaged to Holly" part was pretty good.

Really? I thought it was really funny. While advancing the storylines. Jim and Pam on Blueteeth was gold. "That's what she said! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

I did too! I miss Amy Ryan of course but it may have been my favorite episode so far this season. All the picture mugs!
