How he finally met the mother (Season 9)

I kept hoping she was going to say "Ted, I know. That's exactly how I feel too. That's why I keep stealing your mail."

 

She really is the last person in the world he should give that speech to.

 

I like that we saw in consecutive weeks that both Ted and the Mother had to go through the process of letting go of a former love (cheesy green screen notwithstanding). I think it puts them both in the same place and opens them up to find love with each other.

 

The producers have said in interviews that Barney and Robin do get married.

 

Ah. Good to know.

 

40-something-year-old Ted looks fantastic.

 

I thought Marshall had hair in previous flash forwards. I'm assuming I am wrong since they are pretty good about not screwing that stuff up.

 

Nope, he's never had hair.

Lily's hair gets just awful when she becomes Judge Wife Lily.

 

Well, I liked it.

 

That was a very funny episode. And it filled in a few gaps.

 

Dammit, was really hoping the mom dying wasn't gonna be how they went, but they laid it on pretty thick tonight

 

Yea. Damn.
