It's my theory that he does. I think the mother is dead. Which is why he's telling the story. There's also a speech he gave last season about wanting the extra 45 days with her. That was the biggest thing. But we shall see. The writers have hinted at a death this season.

Why in the hell would you want this show to end like this?

If they are really going to stretch out the last 36 hours before the wedding across an entire season, I have a sinking feeling were gonna have a bunch of filler episodes.

I'm gonna watch. I'm not going anywhere. I even promise not to come on and bitch about "boy, nothing happened in that episode."

I think the whole 45 days thing was Ted just pointing out that was the loneliest he had ever been and would do anything to have her for that amount of time.

---

Otherwise called "nothing happened"


He has epiphanies every two frickin seconds so these big emotional discoveries are diluted to nothing

Finished the last episode on my flight. Wow.

The first 13 episodes sucked. The next 11 were fantastic. Including the best episode to date where Ted realizes he is al

Shes way better than he deserves. He deserves a fatty for how insane and gay he is

Marshall is going to use his last 2 slaps from the slap bet.

there's only one slap left.

someone figure out what day this refers to

Eta forgot the Duckie tie added slaps

the slaps are:

Slap no.1 Slap bet(birth of the 5 slaps): for no particular reason

Slap no.2 Stuff: because of Barney's ridiculous one man show(revenge on Lily)

Slap no.3 Slapsgiving: Marshall creates a holiday: Slapsgiving (version of thanksgiving where instead of thanks they give slaps) where the slap target was Barney(obviously)

Slap no.4 Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap: Marshall forgot the Thanksgiving Turkey in a cab, which Robin and Ted picked up at Port Authority and so, Marshall rewarded them the 4th slap but they have to decide who is going to slap Barney between both of them. Robin gifts Ted the slap, then Ted gifts Robin the slap, Robin gifts Mickey(Lily's dad) the slap,Mickey gifts the slap to Lily. Lily can't slap Barney.A nerve-wracked Barney is released from the chair(yes he was tied to A CHAIR!), but before he can sit down to dinner, Marshall slaps him.

Slap no.5 Disaster Averted: Barney was wearing the ducky tie so,he wanted to remove it because he was meeting Nora's parents that's why Marshal was allotted 3 more slaps (making a total of 4 slaps left for him to use on barney as he still had 1 slap left from the slap bet and adding the 3)and one of which he used on that moment.

Slap no.6 Disaster Averted: The sixth slap was used a second after the fifth slap.

Slap no.7

Slap no.8

If the filler episodes are funny, then enjoy it. I feel like people just want to skip the journey go straight to the last page. What made this show great was the comedy and tomfoolery in the episodes. In seasons 1-5, it's almost as if meeting the mother was irrelevant because you knew it wouldn't happen until the end. Now, people are fricking PISSED if they don't get new information instead of just enjoying the show. This is the last season. They'll get there. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Agreed. But, after season 5, the show went through a phase that was all filler, no substance, and a lot of it wasn't that funny. Thats whats gotten fans frustrated. Were seeing the same storyline over, and over again.


*********SPOILER ALERT***************









The entire plot device with Ted running off with Victoria only to immediately turn her into a horrible character and then ditch her almost as fast the next season is a great example of this.



One thing I AM looking forward to: The resumption of the Slap Bet.

January 13th?

1/13.

My wishful thinking:
Ted marries this chick. Then, the moment that he is finally happy, Bob Saget happens. Bob swoops in, bangs Ted's Wife, fathers "Ted"'s 2 kids on the couch, and then kills Ted "Highlander" style to claim his power and his memories.
