[TV] How I Met Your Mother

got "for the longest time" sstuck in my head now.
Yea, I was really surprised how quickly that episode when from being okay to really great, if not a bit depressing.
It's depressing until you consider our advanced knowledge that he will live happily ever after. In fact it's quite touching with that in mind.
Edit:
Hmm. With some thought I do see some depressing elements that I had not considered at first. It's that life moves on. Now that I'm married and with kids I don't have the time that I used to to just pal around with friends. I'm lucky to see them every few weeks. This episode doesn't really focus on the characters in my position or their viewpoints, but it does bring up good memories of all-nighters gone by.

Those poor kids having to listen to an 8 year story of how their parents meet. To only spend about 30 minutes on actually meeting mom...
Why did we have to wait three 3-hour movies for some Hobbits to throw a ring into a volcano?
Like any good story it's the journey that matters.
That moment when they revealed he was all alone absolutely broke my heart.
And honest, I hope we don't just get 30 minutes on the mom. Didn't the show get renewed for another season? Honestly, I thought it would've been clever to say "How I Met Your Mother" is when one of their kids are born. After all, the show isn't called "How I Met Your Wife."

Oh, I was under the impression that this was the last season.
Nope, according to Wikipedia, it was renewed for a final, ninth season.
It was at the end of 2012 IIRC. Also it looks like they took down the countdown to the final slap.
I'm really disappointed that it won't end the way I always thought it would, honestly the most fitting ending I think:
Also apparently they filmed the ending with the kids 6 years ago, so they'll be involved.
The gang does some wacky shenanigans
They go to McLarens
Ted sees girl at bar, goes up to her
"Hi. I'm Ted"
"Hi. I'm blahblahblah"
And that is how I met your mother.

They wanted the story to seem like it was being told to the kids in one afternoon. So they shot a bunch of reactions from the kids that they would reuse throughout the show. You'll notice that they are always wearing the same clothing in every shot, except in the pilot and in instances where they use the "WHAAAAAT?" remark from the kids (which is reused footage from the pilot). This must be a nice situation for the actors who play the kids, because they will get residual checks every time footage is reused.
They Met The Mother
It's about damn time. I thought they'd forgotten where this story was going.
She looks a bit like Ted in a wig.
You think we're pissed that they've taken 8 years to get here? Ted's kids have more right to be mad.
I'm guessing this entire season is going to take place during the 2 days surrounding Barney and Robin's wedding. Everyone else will meet the mother at some point, while Ted will only meet her at the very end. Probably resulting in some near misses throughout the season. They have set this one up very well so far. I like how Marshall is stuck on a road trip with the sassy black woman, which is going to postpone resolution of their pending move to Italy which will ruin Marshall's chance to be a judge.
I also enjoy how, even though we will likely have to wait for Ted to meet his wife in the finale, we will probably get to see them interacting together in a series of flash-forwards. The one used in the season premier was very sweet, and I can't wait to see more. The actress they picked for his wife is perfect. She's a cute little thing and so far her interactions with the main cast have been adorably funny.

I think the producers stated somewhere that the entire season 9 takes place during the wedding.
They're probably going to focus on how everybody meets The Mother and how she and Ted fall in love with each other (at least I hope so, otherwise this season is kinda pointless). Wrap up everything the mentioned about her before, like yellow umbrella, economics class during Ted's first class, etc

Don't get it.
The backlog goes back 6 episodes, and they're 8 eps in right now.
