"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of Stella as YM, but the more I doubt the writers have enough handwavium, flabotonum and asspullium to make it all work.

yes. So, it could have been a red herring (the woman who bumped into Ted at the bar was brunette). OTOH, the daughter may be grown up now. The kids look to be in their early teens, and if Stella's daughter was 8 when they met, she'd be 9 or 10 when they married, and out of the house by the time he's telling this story.

I don't know, it's just fun to speculate. Now we're looking for clues!

Thrive to spite them

I love hte idea of her being the Mom. But! She was out with her girlfriends right? So maybe one of her friends is the Mom. Although I love the actress she was so great.

Britney wasn't terrible. Not great but heck I've seen worse acting by regulars in sitcoms. Maybe this will get her some positive press and give her an esteem boost. I read one article online that said she did okay.

Yeah, Britney wasn't horrible. But, she really didn't have a lot to do. She was good in that last bit, though.

She didn't have a lot to do and you could see her acting but really it wasn't any worse than, say, some of the acting in the last Highlander movie or some of the things I've seen.

That's sort of like saying "She wasn't as bad as some of the zombie extras in a Uwe Boll movie," isn't it?

She was better than that! I saw one episode of that Caveman show and she would have looked fine on that.... faint praise but she was better than I thought she would be.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was glad she wasn't awful but really anyone could have played that role.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I expect that Britney is more functional when she has real work to do that lets her concentrate on it. She's so externally-oriented that if she's not getting attention she is at loose and dangerous ends -- hence hanging out with all the paparrazzi which encourages her to behave badly.

Art Crawl!!!

So, you're saying she'd be better off with a series?

oh, that's a good point. Her life didn't start going to hell until she decided to take a break.
