Gah, I hate season finale night. I figured it was Barney's wedding from that scene earlier in the season, but of course not all details were told . Decent finale, but not the best by any means. I'm glad the Arcadian is now blown up and the building can start as that story line went on for way too long.

I was hoping when Zoey said she had 3 22 year old roommates, I was hoping one would be Ted's wife. I mean the years fit well enough with her being in his class and all last season, so why not? Would've been a cool loop with Ted dating two separate roommates of his soon to be wife.

woooo ... did you guys see tonight's episode??

looks like Nerdchick correctly called Barney being the groom! But who's the bride? Nora or Robin?

5/16/2011 9:47:14 PM

Totally called Lilly being preggers

figured out the Barney thing from the first time I saw that scene...the only twist now is who the bride is

5/16/2011 9:51:42 PM

The demolition of the Arcadian looked fucking terrible, even for a sitcom.

5/16/2011 10:47:10 PM

that was really weak for a finale. There was no new information only clarification on things we already knew.


i don't know if I can go through two more seasons of this show. it'll probably disappoint me in the end just like lost.

The first half of this season was very good and the second half kind of wandered aimlessly. They really played out the whole zoey/arcadian thing way too long or at least ran out of good ideas based around it.

just like everybody else did...like the very first post of this thread:

"if Ted is a best man again, then is it Barney's wedding?"

I hope Punchy's wedding went ok...Ted seemed so involved as the best man in that one

i wish it were nora but i think it's robin. i only say this because it looked like lily was in a bridesmaid's dress and it seems more likely she would be in robin's wedding than nora's. but she and barney are good friends so it's not completely unlikely.

also, the demolition of the hotel was completely fake and cheesy looking, but it was still a great episode.

^ yup lets leave the glass into so we can put everyones eye out in a 1 mile radius. they should have just used file footage from a real one.

I agree the last half of this season was turrible (maybe to strong it had some moments). it started downhill when Marshal's dad dies IMO.

the Arcadian/Zoey storyline was drawn out way toooo long. what, she was in 2-3 more episodes after the "she's not your mother" was dropped. She is Hot but annoying cut her loose already.

They should go all Community and do a Muppet epd since Jason Segel is doing the Muppet show or a Dracula Musical , since they are just filling time and not really advancing the storyline anymore.

5/17/2011 6:29:29 PM

they're just dragging the mother question out until they get cancelled, which i hope is not anytime soon because i enjoy the show too much

^its been renewed for 2 more seasons. so no finding out who the mom is until 2013. i hope i don't get hit by a milk truck between now and then, cause i'll be pissed if i don't find out who the mom is.

wonder if it will be a known actress. we should start a pool.

5/17/2011 10:18:20 PM

i started to be all "awwww" when he was like "and that's how i met your mother". they totally got me with that trick. dammit.

5/18/2011 7:15:03 AM

How it will end...Future Ted will be talking to his kids, Mom will come up and interrupt and tell the story in like 2 seconds

5/18/2011 8:03:28 AM

^^we already knew he meets her at the wedding, so that's even worse for those who fell for it.

"so no finding out who the mom is until 2013"

again...AT THE WEDDING. he may not date her right away but i'm pretty sure we will know early on in season 7.

i'd rather see at least a season of them married and maybe end with the first kid being born.

and then season 9: how i met your stepmom

5/18/2011 4:44:48 PM

well i didn't know he met her at the wedding. somehow i have misplaced my journal of detailed HIMYM notes.

5/18/2011 5:16:26 PM

AHAHA

5/18/2011 6:17:01 PM

picky bastards

I kept wondering if they were going to show the Arcadian go down and when I did I was actually impressed with the quality of the special effects. I was really expecting something god awful so I was suprised something adequate was shown.

5/19/2011 3:50:56 PM

He's done the "And that's how..." trick a couple of times in the past. Namely the Thanksgiving episode where they end up in a strip club.

5/19/2011 3:57:09 PM

If Ted left his cell phone at the bar, then how did he call Lilly to tell her he was going to get coffee with his ex?

5/19/2011 5:08:38 PM

my wife and I thought that too as soon as you knew it was him calling. There is a lot of stuff like that on this show; it is not a show that does a good job with continuity/details
