::sigh::  After two episodes of How I Met Your Mother Season Eight, I have laughed twice, smiled once, and rolled my eyes more times than I care to think about.  This show used to speak to me on a level that sometimes scared me, but now I find myself sad that Thomas Lennon and Michael Trucco are involved, because I want better for them.  Lily and

MY QUERY FOR YOU: do you approve of the rumored (but probably Accurately Rumored) development of the impending wedding of this season? (AM NOT BEING MORE SPECIFIC IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANYTHING AND DON'T WANT SPOILERS.)

[magratpudifoot]

...are you discussing the wedding that we've been seeing pieces of for the past year+? If so, THIS IS A SUPER COMPLICATED ISSUE.

ETA: Are you asking what I think about the wedding itself, the pairing, or the games they keep playing to try to keep us uncertain about said wedding/what I expect will come of it? These things have quite different answers.

I was asking originally about the choice of pairing, although, now that you've said this (and I begin to understand what they've been doing more clearly), I'm also curious as to your thoughts on the game they've been playing with the whole thing. Are you enjoying the confusing, puzzle-like mystery of where everything is going and how it will all resolve, or are you more like OHMIGAWD WHAT ARE YOU EVEN, WE DON'T CARE STOP IT ALREADY?

(And if That Pairing actually works out and proves to be the case -- what DO you think about that pairing?? I don't even watch the show, but my instinctual reaction was, y'know: ~side eye~. Although maybe they've built up to this working really well??)

All I have to say is, if my father took THIS long to tell me how he met my mother (not to mention got into that much detail about his previous partners and the partners of his friends), I would have walked away from him a long, long time ago.

We haven't seen the kids in a while, unless I've forgotten something (which is quite likely, since things have been super forgettable), so it's entirely possible he's just babbling to himself, now.

...actually, since we've had a few episodes about things Ted couldn't know about, and there hasn't been as much Future!Ted narration as there originally was, there might be some in-show support for this.
