    Boats!Boats!Boats! lol

    Really wasn't expecting anything like what happened to happen in this episode though. Daisy episode title makes so much more sense now too(obviously).

    I guess what I said a couple posts back could be true about the end of the show? Since this episode does confirm what happens to Lily and Marshall.

    So series finale could be something like Ted(and everyone elses) last time in New York with Ted telling his kids the story of how he met their mother and all the history with him in NY, before they pack up and leave the city. I could just see the show ending like that. Ted and everyone else at the bar one last time before the series ends(since HIMYM/Friends are somewhat similar,and Friends ended with them about to go to the Coffee place one last time)

      Nice twist. I wasn't liking the pointless nature of the episode to that point.

      The Wiki for the episode had this:

      Bill Kuchman of Popculturology raised the theory that based on the reveal that Lily and Marshall had a daughter, the ending of Vesuvius could be foreshadowing something happening to Lily, saying, "Maybe Ted isn't broken up in 2024 over the thought of his wife missing the future wedding of his daughter, Penny — maybe Ted is broken up over the thought of Lily missing the future wedding of her daughter, Daisy. ... We won’t know for sure what the ending of 'Vesuvius' really meant, but if this theory is right, HIMYM once again outwitted one of the biggest fan theories surrounding the show."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[1]</sup>
      Don't we see Future Lily though? Though that would explain why Ted was the one crying in the scene with him and the mother.

        We see Lily in 2029 when she gripes at Marshall for reading her death letter.

          We saw Future Lily and I think it postdates the scene in Vesuvius. Marshall and Lily have appeared in scenes looking like they were in their 50's or older.

            That was an interesting moment between Robin and her mother at the end where she asked her if she has someone who she can depend on and that will always be there for her. She was obviously implying Barney but you can tell Robin was thinking of Ted.

              yeah, guess we'll get one more circle back to the Ted/Robin thing before we're done.

                Yes but that was already a foregone conclusion.

                Something people might have forgotten that I caught going back through all the seasons is that Ted says this is the worst wedding day he's been too. Also, you can go back to Season 4 and Ted tells his kids to never bring an ex to your wedding.

                We also know Ted has his hand wrapped and is visibly down when he's at the train station where he meets the mother. I'm still holding on to my theory that there's some big fallout at the wedding stemming from Barney/Robin/Ted.

                  Ted is probably just sad because Marshall/Lily are moving to Italy and Robin/Barney will be off to their honeymoon so Ted is basically all by himself for next little while(or isn't he still moving to Chicago....)?

                  And did Ted say Barney/Robins was worst wedding ever, or was it Punchys wedding?

                    That was Punchy's. But also there's the scene in season 8 where Ted is watching The Mother play at the wedding, so I'm guessing there is no way he could say that Barney's wedding is the worst if that is one of the first places he sees her. I'm hoping we get some interaction between her and the other characters again soon. Especially Barney since she's a big reason the wedding is even happening.

                      The lack of the mother throughout season 9 is what really hurt the season. While Season 8 and 7 weren't really good, season 9 at least looked like it would've been good had half the season revolved around the mother. Season premiere was great because it did have the mother in it and everything, but as episodes went on, she didn't really appear as often.

                      And it sounds like the first "flash forward" scene we saw from past seasons will start being shown on the show starting from:

                        From Barney's newest blog is about his contempt of Ted's detective skills and how he hasn't solved anything. When listing all his failed investigations, Barney ends with this line:

                        - “The Pineapple Incident” – One day we’ll let him in on this one.

                          Just realized the finale is same day as opening day in MLB! Luckily for me the Jays play in afternoon(a monday afternoon game in Tampa...even if it is season opener, will it sell out?), but wonder what some HIMYM fans will do if their team plays Monday night. Watch season opener of your team, or HIMYM series finale.

                            The last few minutes of this episode was GREAT! Real good closure on so many notable characters from the HIMYM series through the years. And Ted remembers who Blah-Blah was!


                            But the last few lines of the episode...I'm starting to believe a certain theory too. Maybe not that exact theory, but in some way or another it seems like something similar has to be happening.

                            The line of:
                            You will be shocked kids when you'll discover how easy it is in life to cut away with people forever. That's why, when you find someone you wanna keep around, you do something about it.
                            Does sound like something that sets up something huge to end the series!

                            And here's a picture from the series finale. I won't post the actual picture,just a link cause I ran into this pic by accident that I know people want to wait until finale to see(it's a picture from a scene that looks like 5-10 years into the future)

                                I missed the first couple minutes of the episode, how far into the future was Ted and The Mother's date?
