DeeCee Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 They got the Lost writers in for the last few episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's called How I Met Your Mother. If he met the Mother in the second season, he would have told his kids and the rest of the show would be How I Fell in Love With and Married Your Mother. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.The fact that we won't see the mother again until the series finale (according to the showrunners) makes me want to skip next year's run entirely. At some point we need to know why this was the 'right' woman for Ted over the dozens of others, and we can't do that in a single episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point we need to know why this was the 'right' woman for Ted over the dozens of others, and we can't do that in a single episode. That's very fair. I personally would want a final season after the meeting showing how Ted and the Mother got to know each other and became a couple (though we don't need to see the whole road to marriage). My point was that the mother had to be someone we have never seen before, because otherwise the jig would have been up seasons ago. And meeting the mother had to come near the end of the show's run because meeting the mother is the climax. Meeting her sooner drains the show of some of its tension and pull.

Cause I have read that she will be on the show a lot....start with many episodes to start the year, as they detail the 56 hour Wedding. And we know this show can stretch out a story.... PS. Also getting Season 9 might have changed this, as it show ended in Season 8, it probably would have been closer to the series finale.

Wonder if the show ended in Season 8, would they have picked someone from the series...as then they could have done it quicker, with less back story...keeping everyone happy. Because it would have been a jip picking someone new...as what made her so special perfect/special to be picked???

The Movie Man Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Question....If the Show ended in Season 8 and they had to quickly pick someone from the series, rank and tell why you would have wanted that person...to be shown only in the series ending episode...with an hour long story to tell a quick story.

Gopher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My mistake- the mother will be in a lot of the next season, but she won't meet Ted until the series finale. That's... a bad idea, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link???? Cause I once saw a clip of Ted talking to Cindy and she talking about the girl playing in the Band...and as Ted has chased that girl in previous episodes, why wouldn't he talk to her??? Maybe they get Married in Last Episode???? And I heard she is featured heavily in the last season...so question is do they do a lot of forward dream scenes? And they both are going to take the train back on Sunday...so what stage will that be???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The mother will indeed be a regular on the show next year. The plan is for her to meet every single character on the show before she meets Ted. Because that's exactly what would happen in real life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's TV not real life! But I agree this seems like a horrible idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Movie Man Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Also did the show make a mistake showing her at the end of this episode. They should have just showed her from the back or something asking for the ticket. As that could have been a great cliffhanger for next season....which would have gotten nice/better ratings????

Incarnadine Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Bring back the cockamouse! The show has been on forever, but it still remains good, and occasionally still manages to put out a legend-ary episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Love the two new episodes. I hope we're in for a good final season.Just read the news that Bryan Cranston will come back to guest star in HIMYM. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Today's episode is pretty good All the jokes hit the right notes for me. Love all the references to The Princess Bride. But seriously, I'm freaking tired of Ted not letting go, it's just pathetic at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
