I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Enjoyable HIMYM - but not the best. (i.e., I did not laugh until it hurt.)

Punishingly Intricate
Did HIMYM start a few minutes early or something? My DVR cut off the very beginning. (And it cut off the very end of Torchwood the other night so I'm wondering if its clock is somehow off or something.)

My dvr may have cut off a piece of the teaser too. So perhaps it did start early.

mine did too. I don't think that we missed much, though.

HIMYM: Do you think Ted's future wife is the one he accidentally bumped into at the bar?

I think so. She was also the one with the yellow umbrella in line, that he also used when it was raining.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
HIMYM: You know, if I were his kids sitting on the couch, I'd have gone completely insane by now listening to my dad ramble on about his sexual escapades without ever getting into how he actually met my mother.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've always assumed (or possibly fanwanked?) that what we see acted out is more, and in much more detail, than he's telling the kids. I seem to vaguely recall some sort of handwavium in the particularly skeevy threesome episode that might support my wank, but I can't actually remember what it was.
And it occurs to me now that we're probably seeing not only more than he's telling, but more than he remembers--he says very clearly that he didn't meet their mom that night, but I can't imagine any other reason for the random collision and apology than that it's her. Which seems oddly nifty; I like the idea that the huge meta-narrative has been telling us not just the details of the stories that he's censoring for the kids, but the details he doesn't even remember.

JZ, I've gotten the same impressions.
