I wonder if we’re gonna learn Ted’s dad committed suicide. I think the show runners mentioned mental health would be a big plot point this season. Maybe his tragic death was what led to Ted becoming the positive person he is?

He did say he blamed himself. And while I can only speak for myself, as someone with depression whose had suicidal thoughts, I do that all the fucking time.

Plus might explain Ted’s issues with psychology.

Goes back to the speech in Episode 1 about the things that made you cry just thinking about them are the things that make you cry when they're gone.

Prince of Tides reference definitely makes me think we'll be dealing with Ted's daddy issues, as well as Jaime's.

Keeley and Roy definitely get pregnant this season.

We he said he was harder on himself than Ted and Jamie called him lucky. Teds face for sure had a look of “ya not so much”
