I did enjoy the allusion to Krieger being Pro-Skynet and then the robot's model being the TB-800.

Anyone else notice a lot of yellow in the episode?  The first shot was the yellow fire hydrant… then the air freshener… then multiple instances in the plaza.  I guess it goes along with the Old Yeller reference.

It's been said repeatedly the series isn't about Ted developing a relationship with the mother.  It's how he ended up meeting her, and now there is a whole slew of changes that happen right before they meet.

Spaced out with the events of the wedding weekend (Arriving into town, rehearsal dinner, getting ready, ceremony, reception) + All the conflicts that got set-up in the episode (Potential moves, Ted giving Robin the locket, etc).

I'd imagine The Mother will pop up here and there, but she won't be a needed character until they get to the reception, which would be towards the end of the season.

The wedding weekend looks to be season 9 as all the major events the characters have planned take place after the wedding:

Yeah… with where the show is going in terms of the year (Mid-1924), Van Alden is going to be front and center as Capone takes over Cicero.

I did get a kick out of Chalky throwing out a very Gyp like line of "What's good about it?" when Nucky told him good morning.

Bingo.  I loved seeing Al Capone finally becoming Al Capone with that scene.
