I enjoyed it, too. I'm glad we learned what Barney does. I note he didn't *rule out* having a ring bear. He just said that there is a ring bearER.

There was a guy leading a chain with something that sounded like a bear at the end of it and he called it Trevor.. ;-)

I also really liked this week's episode. My favorite of the year.

Indeed, my DVR didn't catch that.

Funny.

ISiddiqui · 01-21-2014, 09:53 PM

I did like how Barney's job is basically being a fallguy, but he gets the last drop on the company. And why was it a complete surprise now to Ted that Robin's family is loaded. You think they blew all that Robin Sparkles money?

And agreed with the sentiment that Lily has been plenty selfish and Marshall has forgiven her. He should have talked it over with Lily, but it is his super-ultimate dream job... and its only going to Rome for one year. Lily will be able to come back to the US. Marshall doesn't HAVE to go with her.

DaddyTorgo · 01-27-2014, 07:09 PM

Holy crap, what's this? An entire episode focused on the mother, from her POV, where we get to learn more about her?

What a revolutionary concept for the final season!

EagleFan · 01-27-2014, 07:29 PM

Nice episode this week.

Oh, and Stacey's mom doesn't have it going on.... (sorry, hate that commercial)

stevew · 02-11-2014, 11:43 PM

How I Met Your Dad sounds like such a bad idea. I was thinking maybe a Ted spin off could be ok.

Solecismic · 02-12-2014, 01:28 AM

My impression is that it's more "Dharma kills Greg, what's next?" Maybe they can send in the BAU to arrest this one before it reaches air.

I'm done with Ted after he confessed to the bride on the morning of her wedding that he was so infatuated with her that he was about to leave New York forever. It's my hope that the unnamed Mother turns out to be a serial philanderer and the children are biologically that creepy inkeeper's.

Yeah - that was really a d-bag move by Ted.

So the speculation IS true!!

It was a meh episode, but that final reveal really elevated it (the one about Ted, not the one about Robin - what great casting though).

If there is going to be a spinoff there is no way they will have the mom die. Nobody will watch knowing what happens. (I feel that way anyway)

It could just be that Ted's mom never made their wedding?

Logan · 03-04-2014, 07:15 AM

Despite hearing the "mother is dead" theory for a couple years now, I still didn't think of it when Ted started crying. Guess I was just completely out of it...thought maybe Ted's own mother ends up not making their wedding. What a horrible way to end the show and I can't imagine them actually going through with that.

There was a flash forward to their college reunion when Ted, Marshall and Lily are all laughing over "sandwiches" and Ted asks "where's my wife?"...is that going to be explained by him being stoned and confused (seems pretty rough) or is he re-married?

The spinoff is about a new girl. The only connection will be the bar (supposedly).

That was my initial thought too - Ted's own mom. I dunno.

ISiddiqui · 03-04-2014, 09:22 AM

To be honest, I think the end with the mother being dead would actually be a perfect ending for the show. For all the attempts to make it so, HIMYM is not some light hearted comedy about friends hanging out. It has ALWAYS been a show about growing up. Part of that is light hearted hanging out, but part of that is also dealing with heartache and death. I mean this is the show that had Ted jilted at the altar and Marshall's dad dying.

panerd · 03-04-2014, 11:01 AM

So I don't watch this show but my wife does and so I browse this thread every once in a while just to ask her questions and annoy her. Is the mother dying some sort of fan theory or likely what is going to happen? I have told her about this theory you guys have and she says she has no idea what I am talking about and you are all nuts.

I remember hearing about it as a fan theory for a while now, and then it picked up a lot of steam last season when there was an episode where Ted got really emotional over wishing he had an extra 45 days or something like that with the kids' mother. Someone who didn't buy in (like myself) could say "well, of course, he was in a bad spot emotionally so why wouldn't he want to meet his wife earlier" and it would make some sense. But then you have the mother saying what she did last night "how could a mother not be at her daughter's wedding?" which causes Ted to break down, and suddenly that theory makes a lot more sense.

Personally I think something else will end up happening because I find it unlikely that the writers would wait so long for that twist, only to reveal it 4 weeks before the show ended.

Solecismic · 03-04-2014, 11:32 AM

I assumed, from the sad look from Ted, that it was a reference to their wedding and his mom. Their kids are too young when this is being told to have weddings of their own. It seemed like a reaction to something specific.

This isn't HBO and I don't think they want to waste the finale on some massive tragic reveal. That wouldn't be bittersweet. I would assume bittersweet is saying goodbye to a group of people you've worked with for nine years.

ISiddiqui · 03-04-2014, 02:08 PM

Well, I imagine the bittersweet is that Ted is telling the kids about how their mom died, but in that tragedy all of his friends stepped up big time. Hence why the story is mostly about Marshall, Lilly, Barney, and Robin - they were the family he chose, that were there for him when he needed someone the most.

Also why they're referred to as "uncle so and so" and "aunt so and so" throughout the show perhaps.

ISiddiqui · 03-04-2014, 02:38 PM

Hehe, that reminds me about when people were trying to figure out the Aunt Robin / Uncle Barney thing and speculated that the "mother" was going to be Barney's sister.

Yeah, I thought it was something about their wedding and one of their mothers not being able to make it. Although, the writers certainly seem to want to put the idea out there that Ted's wife is going to die. I hope we find out for sure in the next few weeks.

My guess is the writers are clearly aware of this theory and are playing it big time with no intention of making it happen.

terpkristin · 03-04-2014, 06:15 PM

Count me in the camp that thinks the mom's dying. I wanted to discount it before but now I more or less am there. As soon as I saw that part of last night's episode, I came here to see the speculation.

Man I'll be peeved if that's how it plays out.

kcchief19 · 03-04-2014, 09:17 PM

For all the mother-dying intrigue people are reading into these clues, is anyone postulating that Ted is the one dying? That makes so much more sense given all the clues. Sure, Ted is a tender heart, but he's the one choking up at the idea at a parent not being at a child's wedding and wanting 45 more days because he will love her "until the end of my days and beyond."

My guess is the mother...earlier in the episode she makes this quote:

“I don’t want you to be the guy who lives in his stories. I want you to move forward.”

Good point - I almost forgot about that.

kcchief19 · 03-05-2014, 04:12 PM

I've considered that … but if Ted is dying in 2024 and telling the story in 2030, then clearly the expectation is that he has sometime to live. I'm reading that line as The Mother telling him to move forward, not live in his stories from the past.

Lathum · 03-11-2014, 09:09 PM

Good episode last night with a nice twist.

I agree with most that the last few seasons haven't been as good, but having been with the show from the beginning I find I am emotionally invested with these characters and will be sad to see them go.

ISiddiqui · 03-11-2014, 10:28 PM

I dunno, this season has been quite good. And I love all the callbacks tying up loose ends (like all the loose ends it seems like).

EagleFan · 03-11-2014, 10:52 PM

Good episode this week. Though the Kennedy Package seems kind of pointless now. Who would pay to have a non alcoholic drink always in their hand?

Liked the nod that they gave to the weekend season. Able to poke at the show a little there.

If you don't want to announce you are pregnant, the way to do it is to always have a drink in your hand. If you avoid alcohol openly, people are going to wonder why.

EagleFan · 03-11-2014, 11:12 PM

Always having a drink but never getting the slightest bit drunk can be a clue. At least that cleared up the one issue I was wondering about. Barney reached a while new level of drunk without anywhere near the same quantities. Would have thought someone would notice.

Logan · 03-12-2014, 08:03 AM

I thought this last episode was brutal until the end.

kcchief19 · 03-12-2014, 09:51 AM

I had a "The Sixth Sense" issue with this episode. The moment Billy Zabka told the story of Lily getting in the car with the bag from the store, it was a throwback to the last time she took a pregnancy test and it seemed pretty obvious to me. But my friend who didn't pick up on that clue loved the episode. I didn't think it was bad, just predictable.

Logan · 03-12-2014, 09:58 AM

My wife said that Lily was pregnant right away. She also remembered that they established her last cigarette ever was when she started trying to get pregnant the first time.

Kodos · 03-17-2014, 11:21 PM

The "I'd be sweeping the leg and putting you in a body bag" line was the funniest of the season.

Logan · 03-18-2014, 07:00 AM

Such a weird episode. For one, back in the day, Barney told an awesome story about Blauman quitting his job at GNB because he struck it rich on an IPO, then losing it all, which forced him to live with his parents...before he died. Apparently that actor is Cobie Smulder's husband, which is I'm sure why they chose to base this story around him even if it meant crapping on a scene from the past.

And Ted and the mother sure had a pretty awkward hello after what I figured would be some sort of heavily romantic/legendary introduction at the train station.

Logan · 03-18-2014, 07:07 AM

I did love the accidental curly fry...those are the best. And Wayne Brady telling his kids "Do you know how I met your father? At a party".

Tonight's episode of course makes it look like the Mom (or Ted as some note above). Or, this could be a big swerve of some sort. Just enough hints that the Mother dies that people are convinced that it happens and then suddenly it does not. Several cast members described the finale as "bittersweet" or some such. Enough so that I figure at this point that either Ted or the Mother or Barney will die. .

Who would pay to have a non alcoholic drink always in their hand? Liked the nod that they gave to the weekend season. Able to poke at the show a little there. __________________ The EagleFan YouTube Channel - Reactions Soarin' & Scratchin' YouTube Channel - We react to music, videos, TV, we talk, we are planning some field trips Soarin' & Soothin' - Meditation, Relaxation, and Sleep Aid; mental health is important

At least that cleared up the one issue I was wondering about. Barney reached a while new level of drunk without anywhere near the same quantities. Would have thought someone would notice. __________________ The EagleFan YouTube Channel - Reactions Soarin' & Scratchin' YouTube Channel - We react to music, videos, TV, we talk, we are planning some field trips Soarin' & Soothin' - Meditation, Relaxation, and Sleep Aid; mental health is important

The moment Billy Zabka told the story of Lily getting in the car with the bag from the store, it was a throwback to the last time she took a pregnancy test and it seemed pretty obvious to me. But my friend who didn't pick up on that clue loved the episode. I didn't think it was bad, just predictable.

For one, back in the day, Barney told an awesome story about Blauman quitting his job at GNB because he struck it rich on an IPO, then losing it all, which forced him to live with his parents...before he died. Apparently that actor is Cobie Smulder's husband, which is I'm sure why they chose to base this story around him even if it meant crapping on a scene from the past. And Ted and the mother sure had a pretty awkward hello after what I figured would be some sort of heavily romantic/legendary introduction at the train station.
