THE LEGEND OF SIR WALTER DIBS: Certainly, as usual, the Marshall-Lily plot on HIMYM was far more of a laugh magnet than the Ted plot, and, personally, I found the whole episode a little laughter-light, and, yes, Ted's final line was an overly on the nose callback, but that was a pretty promising premiere, with the right amount of heart-tugging and question-answering (Marshall's relationship with his father and Rachel Bilson's character's turn, which I'd called during her monologue to Ted) with swerving to raise new questions. Alan's got some thoughts, and I'm sure y'all do too.
