"He wanted to call the book Operation Anthropoid, but his publisher wouldn’t have it. “Too Robert Ludlum.”"
But HHhH seemed like as a GOOD title?

My understanding was that the smuggled Chinese artifacts were being brought to London because that's where the auctions are, not so much because they were being sold to Western buyers.

The 
Magnitude  joke was not the "Pop pop," it was the fact that it cut to Abed summarizing what 
Magnitude presumably just told him, leaving 
Magnitude  with nothing to do EXCEPT say "Pop pop!".

I never understood how people who watch How I Met Your Mother could hate Ted so much for his cheesy romantic idealism and occasionally douchey (but mostly authentic) love of architecture and higher culture and yet be perfectly happy with Lilly, who comes off as a control freak who runs her friends lives whether they…

I saw the Simon plot line as just normal tormenting by Ellie that hit a particularly vulnerable spot of Laurie's.  But even so, the whole episode felt out of kilter compared to the episodes where it's firing on all cylinders.

Didn't Disney get frozen?  He could come back as an ice zombie. . .

Yeah, this show will/has become more depressing the longer it continues simply because it cannot permit too much growth/progress/change and have it still be the same show.  Ted at 27 meeting the mother of his children is fine.  Ted at 40 is running out of time AND his friends have long ago moved on to the next stage…

Ah, I like it for the fact that it finally showed Ted being appreciated for liking the things he likes.   I do wish it hadn't under cut it at the end, but otherwise it worked.  And I think it showed why we don't get to see much more than glimpses at this side of Ted in that everyone else in the group shuts him…

I thought he meets her at Barney's wedding that we keep seeing bits of.

Oooops.  Someone else did already point that out.

Not necessarily.  Since we've already seen his daughter (and son), if we are assuming they are just hallucinations imagined by a lonely future Ted, it must mean that future Ted is an unreliable narrator and so we have to allow for the possibility that his flash-forward to the real 2015 was also imagined.

Who'd have thought THAT would happen. . .

Yeah, I'll second the laptop dance for best sight gag.

Yeah, it's gotten better each week.  And can I say, I loved the last scene of the first episode (over the end credits) where the "Meowwwwww" was drowned out by Jump Around.

Yeah.  Great flick.  I may go do that. . .

Yeah, a pretty lackluster episode.  Though, Shawn was relatively chilled out in this one.  Probably due to the fact that Woody and the guest stars were all playing a bit weird.  I do think it's funny how checked out Corbin Bernsen is.  He had MAYBE three lines tonight, and far less than the five mins attributed to him…

Yeah.  I'm glad it got a second season and wasn't just one and done.  It was still going strong when it was canceled.
