Yup, this episode was definitely more about the storyline than the funny. Hence, the small amount of time Barney was given.
I don't think I've ever had a sitcom series draw me in with its storyline the way this one has. I've never been a big sitcom fan.

My friends, if I went to all that trouble for a romantic surprise and the girl hemmed and hawed and told me that she was going camping with that anchor douchebag, I would tell her to go fuck herself.

Have we ever established, though, that Ted is talking to HIS children. Maybe he's been talking to his nieces and nephews all along, which would explain the "Aunt Robin" business.

Maybe Ms. Perfect meets him in a bar after he gets dumped by Robin. Maybe they avoided showing her face and can fill her in later with any actress. Maybe a bit farfetched though.

For all we know, they're Marshall's kids or Barney's kids or someone-we-haven't-even-met's kids.
Or, hey, maybe they ARE his kids, but Aunt Robin IS their mother.
Either way, he's sure taking a long time to get to the point. I guess in the future ritalin has become as poplar as caffeine.

I know he's done the same with calling Robin "Aunt Robin", so it could be a red herring by the writers. I have a feeling that the audience will find out near the end of the series that the narrator is telling his children all of these stories because of the recent death of their mother.

I think it was a mistake to call her "Aunt Robin," so early, since it seems almost certain that Ted and her don't end up together in the end. I would've liked some uncertainty. Still, it's not as bad as telling the audience in the first episode of "Jack and Bobby" that Bobby is going to be president.

Ted (and the audience) shouldn't meet the titular "Your Mother" until the last scene of the last episode of the series, and he should meet her in some completely random way --like Ted gets on an elevator, and there's already a woman on the elevator, they smile at each other, he introduces himself ("Hi, I'm Ted"), she introduces herself ("I'm ______"), the elevator doors close, and Future-Ted narrates: "And that's how I met your mother."

I think you have to embellish of the random encounter because of the title of the show suggests an epic story behind the meeting of Ted and the mother of his children (plus, do we even know if Ted is married to their mom in the future, or if Robin was infertile, and the mom is the one that bore the kids from Ted's swimmers, but he's still married to Robin, and that the mom is still single but wanted kids and Ted was the donor).

I always thought this was a lame intro to the show as they would eventually get older and make it look like Ted had dragged this out into infinity.

Was that music composed for the episode at the end when he and Robin kiss or an instrumental part from an actual song? Anyone know?

Amy Acker. For a while, during the episode, I was thinking that she was going to be the mom of the kids.
