How I Met Your Mother: Barney and... (Spoilers ahead...) - Page 32

It's official that there's another season and it's the final one.

ryan123450 · February 23 2013, 10:32 PM

And the creators have said in an interview that you will never be able to watch a season 9 episode and confuse it with any other season. I'm finally putting my money on meeting the mother before the end of the show now.

That or they'll be dubbing in Bob Saget's voice every time Ted opens his mouth.

Mr Light · February 24 2013, 04:54 AM

I think there's going to be a fire that burns away Young Ted's hair and burns his lungs too so that when he next speaks it's with Old Ted's voice.

CorporalClegg · February 24 2013, 07:36 AM

Funny because I think Saget's voice has a slightly higher timbre than Radnor's.

Mr Light · February 24 2013, 02:49 PM

That was a Futurama reference

While the last Roseanne season was pure crap (that's what you get when you give in to the overblown ego of the main star) the finale and the revelation that Dan didn't make it through his heart attack was both very sad and shocking but kind of fitting with the show about a working class family that can't catch a break (they were at least in the early seasons).

I felt really sad knowing that Dan, my favorite character of the show, died

I'm hoping that we just don't have an ending where Ted walks up to girl in the band, says hello, and we get a 1 second shot of the her saying hello back and then it kicks back to his kids with: "And that kids, is the story of how I met your mother." Roll credits.

Oh please don't do a Voyager ending.. it was a bad idea back then and it's just a bad idea now.

As much steam as the show has lost i'm glad they'll be doing a final wrap up season with Ted getting to know the Mother and seeing exactly why she's such a perfect fit for Ted (and the hints throughout the season paint her as a very cool girl with just the right amount of crazy to keep it from getting boring).

I really like to see some scenes set 20-30 years into the future with glimpses of all the character's futures.. Marshall and Robin living their happy family life raising Marvin, Barney and Robin enjoying their childless, high power couple life (with the option to enjoy some family life when they take care of Marvin and Ted's kids when they feel like it) and Ted finally coming to rest when he gets his biggest wish fulfilled.

Little dark to end the series by showing that Ted's telling the kids the story because they just came back from the funeral. Roseanne ending is probably out...

Interestingly enough, at one point, that's exactly the ending Jason Segel was pushing for.

Of course, it's hard to tell how serious he was, given his other finale idea.

ryan123450 · February 25 2013, 04:05 AM

Wow that would be...odd.

shivkala · February 25 2013, 04:58 AM

What if the mother is like Howard's Mother, Wilson, Maris, etc. where we hear, but never fully see her? Now that'd be a real kick in the teeth, as well.

I've imagined a post-apocalyptic future scenario too.

ryan123450 · February 26 2013, 02:29 AM

Goodbye red boots! We'll miss you!

I laughed hysterically at the skittles. Everyone's reaction, especially Marshall's, was perfect.

Agent Richard07 · February 26 2013, 02:36 AM

That episode was firing on all cylinders. Funny and quick-witted all the way through.

Mr Light · February 26 2013, 05:03 AM

Oh I missed that, did they show the demise of the red boots?

auntiehill · February 26 2013, 05:53 AM

The Skittles bit WAS pretty funny.

And yes, the red boots finally met their demise.
