I have to admit, while that whole plotline was hilarious, I find it hard to believe Ted had never tried bacon. I wouldn't be surprised if some dedicated fan pulled a scene out of the archives of Ted consuming bacon, perhaps a brunch episode.

Hidden_Bomb 82 points · Feb 2014 · Is he Jesus?

Nope, no bacon. I've gone through the entire 8 previous seasons in January and never found him consuming bacon. I might be wrong, but even then it was really well played on.

My thinking was the best burger in New York episode. I just went and watched a clip of Marshall describing it, but he doesn't say anything about bacon. That was my best guess for when he ate bacon.

What's scary is the theory that they actually did have kids was posted here today. I was watching the scene tonight and thought I had inadvertently read a spoiler from some leaked info.

Was expecting a bull, especially with the dress. Are there Argentinian bullfighters?

permalink

This might just be a sneak peak of the bullfighting career. Maybe the drunkenness is the reason.

So many death theories running around. One of them was that the Mother dies during childbirth. I fucking sqee'd so hard when there were two kids.

And the Mother is hot in bed-wear.

permalink

azizinator25 123 points · Feb 2014 · Team Yellow Umbrella

That "mother dies in childbirth" theory never had any traction. In the season premier Ted was telling his kids things about the mother that they already knew.

"Kids, you remember the 7 hour detour on the way to Disney World so your mother didn't miss the goat in South Carolina who could blow smoke rings"

It's so over the top that it almost breaks out of the tone of the moment, but that makes it even better because it feels realistic because regular people have indulgent moments of stupidity like that. My sister and I start and finish the Kris Kross Sprite rap just like that sometimes.

permalink

Guterman50 56 points · Feb 2014 · Sandy Scumbag Rivers

I actually think it was due to continuity. Because I believe in one episode they show a college reunion in 2020 and that's what they looked like. I haven't checked yet but I think that's the reason they look that way.

permalink

thekidfromyesterday 33 points · Feb 2014 · Flair Up!

Didn't the story with the first time Robin held Marvin, show Lily look a lot younger over a lot longer period of time.

I'm a little disappointed Lily dropped Robin so quickly considering one of Lily's funniest ongoing jokes is her lesbian attraction for Robin.

I'm gonna have to watch that kiss over again a few times, just to make sure how stupid that was, and maybe even slow it down

FYI - New York State Supreme Court is the trial-level court. What in most states would be the Supreme Court, in New York, is the Court of Appeals. Looks like Marshall's career as a judge got off to a late start.

I hope they spend the new few episodes giving as much of the future for each of the characters. I love how successful Marshall becomes, but I also want to see the rest succeed in their career/life.

If Ted can get left at the altar, rejected by Robin 15 times and STILL find pure happiness someone, you can too! In the meantime, to tide you over, get a dog! That's my plan!

I really am upset that HIMYM is almost over, but I have to say, I'm excited that there's only 5 weeks left of me accidentally watching a little bit of 2 Broke Girls because I didn't reach for the remote in time.
