I have watched all the episodes of this show from the start and initially enjoyed it. Unlike some here, I appreciated the clever editing in some shows but slowly this has diminished. Currently the show seems intent on dragging out the sage of "HIMYM" and it really needs to get to that actual story. I understand that the need to weave the time-lines together is a good writing trick, but sadly we don't appear to be getting anywhere nearer. Ted is looking for his soul mate and we know that the woman under the Yellow Umbrella (who we haven't seen the face of) is supposed to be her (but we wait for 'another' twist) which will mean it isn't!
This series (8) more than any, I have felt that the writers are doing their best to work out how to get to 10-series. Still we have the Ted and Robin ongoing saga, Marshall and Lily have become virtually insignificant and Barney just doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I felt that this series (so-far to episode 5) nothing has actually happened.
Whether the writers are tired or the actors have no motivation, I just don't know, but currently all the spark and 'fun' seem to have sadly withered away.
Personally speaking, we need Ted to meet their mother and then see how they got to the wedding and births a damn site quicker than we currently are. Interest is fading fast and soon it'll be called "Who cares how I met your mother".
(BTW I think the mother is the woman that Ted bumped into in the nightclub very briefly, but for no script progress purpose (so-far!))
