Yup.

 

[Prison Mike]

On the bright side, I loved the chart intervention. The intervention episode is one of the funniest to this day IMO. Great draw back.

one of the funniest bits tonight was Marshall showing off his pie chart of favorite bars and a bar graph of favorite pies. lol

Yes. Ted and Barney did not see her for four weeks after Barney told it. In reality, Alyson Hannigan is on maternity leave and that was their clever way of writing her out until the finale.

I loved his charts about their reaction to the charts.

I wonder if Barney and Marshall are going to tell another really bad joke around the time that Robin needs to pop her kid out.

maybe that's what the "food poisoning" tonight was for?

 

[BlackLantern]

Why are actresses on shows I watch getting all pregnafied....Sarah Shahi on 'Life'....both Hannigan and Smulders on this show....it's baby fever and it's inconveniencing my shows

 

[Sub-Zero]

is "life" still on tv?

 

[Gilpesh]

They're hot, like sex, and hate condoms... it's a horrible combination.

actresses should sign contracts that they won't get pregnant during the show's run.

it's 2nd season just wrapped up last month....Sarah Shahi was pregnant during the later half of the season so they wrote her out by putting her on loan to the FBI and then having her kidnapped....Gabrielle Union filled in though so it wasn't all bad

 

[Sub-Zero]

i actually think robin and barney are going to couple up. that scene a while ago(last season i think) when they buy that expensive bottle of whiskey at the bar was set in 2009 and robin/barney looked a bit more than friends in that scene. /shrug

 

[Double Down]

is "life" still on tv?

It won't be next season.

 

[Anubis]

What if Robin really is pregnant on the show and Barney's the father? And what was up with that ending?!?

Well she'll have her kid while they're still on "summer break" so no, I doubt she'll be offended by a joke.

Robin and Barney hooked up before Ted's birthday last year. So how would Robin get pregnant now?

I wouldn't fret about Stella. After future Ted kept calling her Stella to his kids, I can't see the writers faking us out like this, having her be the mother.

So I'd say Ted meets the mother through Stella. Maybe mom and Stella are friends, they were both at that party, but Stella's friend (aka mom) was the one who lost the umbrella.

It's the most likely scenario, I think.

I agree. Ted will probably meet the mother through Stella. They'll probably save their first meeting for next season's premiere or finale I think. I don't know how much longer they can drag it out. Ted isn't getting any younger...

For some reason it seemed like Barney's number would be higher. Maybe the first few years were low and he's only ramped up over the past ten years.

'HIMYM' scoop: Stella's the mother! Or IS she?

I defy you to find a single fan of How I Met Your Mother who isn't asking themselves exactly that question in the wake of last night's humdinger of an ending -- which seemed to strongly hint (if not outright reveal) that Sarah Chalke's Stella is the show's eponymous mom. Unfortunately, only two people on the planet know the answer. Fortunately, I just got off the phone with one of 'em --executive producer Carter Bays!

Is Stella the mother?
CARTER BAYS: I won't say whether she's the mother or not, [but] we were definitely very careful in the wording of the narration. Obviously, we're not going to say, 'Okay, here she is! Show's over."

Was it an intentional fake-out?
BAYS: Nothing's a fake-out on this show. We established very early on that this is a very windy, twisty story, and the message of the show is there's a ridiculous series of events that has to happen before this guy meets the woman he marries... I will say this about the next two episodes: Everything will be made clear and it will move the ball forward.

You certainly got people talking.
BAYS: We freaked out a ton of people. We've never really kept a big secret from the audience. And what secrets we do have we usually tell people and there are usually spoilers floating around. And this kind of felt like, "Let's try and do something that takes everyone by surprise and really blow people's minds." And I think we did it.

What kind of reaction have you been getting?
BAYS: It seems to be split 50/50; some people loved it but a lot of people really hated it. And I certainly don't want to tell you that I like it when people hate my show, but knowing where the next two episodes go, I feel like those are both legitimate reactions and both what we were going for.

Does the yellow umbrella belong to Stella?
BAYS: I can't say one way or the other.

Can you give me a preview of next week's episode?
BAYS: We'll reveal why Ted running into her again is such huge moment. He already ran into her once before and didn’t do anything, but this one has more meaning and we'll find out why next week.

Is it your plan to hold off on confirming the identity of the mother is until the final episode of the series?
BAYS: That's always been the plan, but obviously we have a lot of options at our fingertips.

Which side of the 50/50 split do you fall on? And how do you think Stella figures into the Mother mystery? Weigh in below! And then check out Ask Ausiello on Thursday to see out what else Bays told me about this season's final two episodes.

 

[Prison Mike]

looks like I was wrong and they won't reveal the mother until the last episodes of the series.

 

[Shifty]

The last part of the episode will probably be Saget narrating "And that kids, is how I met your mother." Cut to Barney saying something funny. The End.

 

[Prison Mike]

I would love to see old Barney

 

[Sub-Zero]

ted's supposed to be 52 in 2030(b.1978) when he's telling his kids the story. his kids look about 15-16 so that means ted's wife has the kids when ted is 36-37ish. i think they can drag the show out another 5 or 6 years.

To add to Shifty's post:

Tis a bit spoilery.

Spoiler

05/05 - Stella and Tony are still very much together. Jason Jones -- the dude who plays Stella's baby daddy -- told me so when I spoke with him on set during the filming of next week's episode. Yep, that's right. Directly behind Stella, on that street corner where Ted has just ran into her, is her better half, Tony. And the site of the happy couple may just make Ted weep. But who can blame the guy? Both his career and his personal life are pretty much non-existent at the moment. However, as Jones explained, Tony may be able to turn at least one of those things around for him. "We bump into Ted and I feel extremely bad about stealing his girl and I try to make amends by throwing some cash at it," he told me. In fact, I think Tony knows someone who may be in need of an architect... an eccentric sort of dude whom he'll hook Ted up with... though I doubt it's really going to work out. But, Ted was going on and on about his kids never being born if he hadn't run into Stella that day, so what's up with that? Well, as Sarah Chalke said during a break from shooting, she and Ted will get some closure during next week's episode. They'll talk and work a few things out. So maybe all Ted's yammering last night was just about him finally moving on and being open to meeting the mother of his children. Or, perhaps, Stella will play an even bigger part in Ted Mosby meeting his soul mate. Either way, word is, we'll be getting a significant clue as to where his journey ends in this year's finale, which airs the week after next.
