And it was the cast of HIMYM that actually did it on a talk show once, right?
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

So, y'all, avclub review seems to indicate we need to be hopeful, but prepared that the show may not be as good as we may want it to be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's where I was at the beginning of last season (I felt it was a slow start--possibly the slowest sequence of episodes for me), so I'm okay with bracing myself for something similar now. 75% as funny is still enough to keep me watching--I don't have a purity of vision interest like some folks I'm rolling my eyes at today.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I have already been keeping my expectations low. I watched every episode of "30 Rock" so I can live through highs and lows.

Heh.
I got maybe halfway through that review, maybe I'll read it later. I'm just all "Go Human Beings!" and I think I'll stick with that for today.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not that it's a universally lauded review site, but the Daily Beast is also cautiously hopeful. So that's two voices toward a consensus.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I read both reviews, but "Troy and Abed something SOMEthing" from the first one is what's staying with me. It keeps playing in my head and making me look forward to tonight even more. October 19th in my heart, indeed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That made me happy. Not as happy as some other eps, but still happy.
