Random Observation: How I Met Your Mother

Here's something I'm not sure you care about.  In the sixth season of How I Met Your Mother, which we binged on recently and caught all the way up to the seventh season, there's an episode - well I guess this is kind of spoilers, so

So anyway, the 13th episode is entitled, "Bad News" and you may recall, since you probably watched it before, but at the very end of this episode, Marshall's father dies of a heart attack.  But did you notice that throughout the entire episode, the numbers from 50 to 1 counted down on prominent things in the background, like a CD cover, or a news cast, or a calendar.  Just as it reached 1 (on the cab that Lily takes the bar), Marshall receives the shocking news.  You can watch it again - it's pretty obvious when you're looking for it.
