I loved how Future Ted couldn't remember when things were taking place. What a great way to reveal Lily's pregnancy.

I am confused when did they reveal Lily's pregnancy?

I mean, they've been trying to get pregnant all season (and maybe part of last season?) to no success. But tonight we finally see that in the near-future Lilly will be pregnant.
Ted has been an unreliable narrator the whole time. Even in the earlier seasons he got certain events and times mixed up, so they can play with that aspect if they need to.
I don't think Zoey is going to be the mom though; I doubt she was the roommate of Rachel Bilson's character from whatever episode that was.

Ah yes, indeed. I had written her off as the mother, but the clock-ticking at the end made me think they were trying to set that up.

If more (most) episodes were like tonight's, I wouldn't be praying for the mother to be found (and the show ended) so quickly.
That said, they've had quite the decent little run here, lately. They need to make this more the rule than the exception.

I noticed it as well, but I also noticed Saget in there (after that, but didn't notice if it was him right away because I didn't notice it NOT sounding like him until a bit into the episode. Wish I hadn't cleared the DVR so quickly.) too.

For the record, I don't think Bob Saget EVER sounds like Ted. But I also noticed Future Ted was different from what Saget normally sounds like. Perhaps it was a cold.
The stuff with Barney and Lilly had me in stitches!

Bob Saget must have had a cold when he recorded this weeks episode -- definitely didn't sound like him.

Aside from that, it was a great episode!
