How I Met Your Mother - Part 2

[Big Green]

We NEED to spend a good amount of time with the Mother. No amount of talking will convince me otherwise.

Obviously

 

[Paradox1]

I don't think we need to see the mother at all. I believe it's enough that we know from older Ted of how she completes him. She laughs at Ted's lame menu jokes, plays in a band , studies econ, not turned off by being mosbied, and everyone who meets her loves her.

The risk they take by having the mother as a regular may not be worth it. What if the actual character or actress isn't liked by fans? You could also loose a large part of general audience who is watching exclusively to see the mother revealed.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't get to know her. Why should we take it on faith alone that this is the girl for him? And not only for him, but for the rest of the group as well. Should we also take it on faith alone that the mother passes Lily's Front Porch test, or that the Mother is secure enough in her relationship with Ted that she's not only not threatened by Robin, but also probably becomes pretty good friends with her? She's not only the girl of Ted's dreams, and the mother of his children, but she should also be the missing piece that the group never knew was missing in the first place.

We NEED to spend a good amount of time with the Mother. No amount of talking will convince me otherwise.

You see, I agree that there needs to be some time spent getting to know the mother, but I feel like that opens up a new can of worms. At what point do you end the series if she is introduced earlier? Do we see them up to when he proposes or when she has their first child?

Personally, I think the best we will get is a 5-10 min montage at the end with a voice over from Future Ted talking about how he fell in love with her, and maybe even a look back at some key moments from her perspective about her journey.

I can see them doing that, but I would rather get to know the mother over a couple episodes. In any case, I trust the creators and can't wait to get to the finish line.

Agree 100%

If it is really Barney's half sister, then when Ted talks to his kids about Uncle Barney and Aunt Robin, that would be a more literal meaning. But then he says the say thing about Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall.

well with Marshall's Mom back on the market maybe she'll end up getting involved with Ted's Dad next lol

isnt Ashley Bensen 21 years old? thats way to young for Ted and the actor IMO.

Yeah, I would'nt mind a 1-episode "How I Met Your Father" type thing. Like older Ted has to get up to go to the bathroom or something (he's been holding it for EIGHT YEARS!) and hands off the story to the mother.

well if they do, do a "how I met your father" type episode, showing all the times that they've almost met in the past, in flash backs and stuff, it'd make sense to cast someone younger, so she can play the mother at different age's (then they can just age her up to show her in the current timeline or in the future when/after they actually get married)

The writers will end it at the point they have chosen to end it. Its not like there is some rule that says they cant have a meaningful ending if they introduce her this season. If they introduce her this season they will have an ending in mind for next season. It isnt going to be a problem.

And to make it extra awesome, have the Mother be voiced by Lori Loughlin.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Lol I'm assuming you hate that idea.

More like he blew my mind. I would have never thought of a quasi-Wake Up San Francisco reunion.

And if he were to go relieve himself, would he do it while whistling to the theme from Full House?

[SpideyVille]

I KNEW IT!!

Ted's wife is going to part of the band, and that's where he first sees her. I'm guessing he doesn't get a chance to talk to her until after the reception.

Also, I'm surprised they did Bilson's return as just a cameo, even though that's probably the best way to handle that situation.

 

[dark_b]

i guess the last shot will be at the train station and they will show her face.

 

[Darkness Falls]

i liked the scene with lily and ted from this weeks episode
the stuff about facebook was pretty true also

 

[LostSon88]

I always get goosebumps whenever they cut to Barney and Robin's wedding…

I mean that whole event and what will happen, is pretty much the climax of the entire series so whenever they tease us with a quick scene, I get hyped. Haha.

Oh and i'm thinking this pretty much dispels the speculation that the mother is Barney's half-sister?

 

[SpideyVille]

I read the IGN review and picked up on something that flew over my head while watching the episode, but apparently the wedding date is May 25, 2013, which most likely means it will be the finale. So I think either they will reveal the mother at the end of that episode, and continue with her story in season 9, or they will somehow jerk us around again and leave the reveal and official meeting for next season because Ted couldn't get to her or something.
