How I Met Your Mother

After the last episode, you can finally see when he meets her. I just wish they'd have them freaking meet at the end of this season and do next season on them dating. The show doesn't HAVE to end with him meeting her at the very end of the show.

Also anyone else getting a bit sick of Marshall and Lilly? I've never loved them, but I didn't hate them either; but ever since they had the baby they've become so one dimensional with the "Ohhhh a baby is hard!" stuff. If this is all they have for them, I can see why Jason Segel was hesitant to come back for a Season 9.

Lily is the most annoying character on the show by far.

I definitely thought the same thing. Definitely had the hint of Future Ted being a widower. Very interesting plot move to say the least.

It may not turn out to be true, but the more I think about it, it makes sense and in some ways I can't believe I didn't think of it before.

Perhaps the kids were both young when she died and really didn't know her well and this whole time thats why Future Ted is telling the story.

Of course if that's true, he sure has talked a whole lot about himself and not her. A more accurate title would be "All the Crap I Did Before I Met Your Mother."

The only part that doesn't make sense is twenty years from the future Ted from last night sure didn't seem like he was a widower, but I guess all they really did was show the ring.

I figured the part where he tells the mother (when you can't see her in the doorway) something like "I'll love you til the end of my days" indicated he's decided not to remarry after she's gone. Maybe a stretch but he seemed to emphasize himself, not that they love each other until death.

I agree completely with the end. But when Twenty Years From the Future Ted is telling Present Ted to go to Legends vs Robots, he flashes the ring like everything is good. But then Barney explains that the whole night was a figment of Ted's imagination, so I don't know. Now I wonder if we ever meet the mother or if we just see her grave...

Yeah that part is a bit unclear; I figured all the different Teds and Barneys were all just made up by the present Ted we see, since it ends up the whole night was just imagined by Ted; so saying that, present Ted we see would make the future Ted have a wedding ring.

So I think all the future Teds and Barneys were from the perspective of present Ted, not the real future Ted narrating. I think the only part the real future Ted changed was the part about what he would have done (go meet the mother earlier than he actually did).

That makes the most sense, but I'm just not 100% sold. I think the most telling fact that makes me believe the mother has passed on is that Narrator Ted tells the kids "Kids, you know what I would have done" (or at least very close to that) as if having those extra 45 days would have been something he would have savored forever. If he's already got the rest of his life to spend with the mother, I don't think he would have emphasized those 45 days so much.

Ah yes, that's the other clue I was forgetting, emphasizing to the kids they would know what he would do.

On the HIMYM IMDB.com page, most are saying he's just stressing how much he loves the mother, but yeah I don't buy that.

Everything was completely predictable...except Zabka. That was pretty awesome.

Actually I thought that was pretty predictable. I told my wife very early "Yeah the clown is Zabka". Still cool though.

Man I can't believe Macchio is 51 years old.

I'm at the point where I'm ready to give this show up. If they really go down the Ted/Robin road again, I'm done. How bad are these writers??
