Datepalm Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Barney could easily be the one he's trying to get - he's been laundering money for North Korea or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Barney could easily be the one he's trying to get - he's been laundering money for North Korea or something.True, he did say Ted's pay for the design would be from a company in Pyongyang...might be on to something here!

Jon AS Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Meanwhile, the Mother gets lost in the woods, occasionally being chased by wolves, backwoods yokels and at one point her own shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Anyone else think "the Mother" will have died as Ted is telling the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Anyone else think "the Mother" will have died as Ted is telling the story?Its crossed my mind. What if he's telling them the story from the hospital? What if they are waiting for her funeral?That would seem like an awfully big downer to end the show with, but they have done grief very well on HIMYM in the past. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless Northman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Would be an interesting twist, but the kids clearly look just plain bored, not sad because they lost their mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 CN,The end of the "Time-Travelers" when Ted tells the Mother that he'd give anything formthe extra 45 days and that he will love her so much in this life and beyond. Plus the episode where Ted, Lily, and Marshall are eating "sandwiches" in the future and Ted blurts out, with a case of the giggles "Where's my wife?". They do grief very well. That would be a truely bittersweet ending. But that's life and himym has never shyed away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm actually really looking forward to this season. I don't forsee any death though...not of the mother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Jaxom,The more I think about it the more it makes sense. I really think the Mother will be dead when we get to the end of future Ted's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Uhhh, haven't the kids interacted with the mother off-screen? I'm 99% sure that they have, either through responding to a question/dinner call or looking over at her as she stands off to the side of Bob Saget's Ted - if not both.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 REG,If you can pin point that it would be lovely. The only moment like that that I recall was when Ted was engage to Stella and he imagined what his life would have been like had they married.

RedEyedGhost Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Sorry, Scot, I have zero desire in trying to pinpoint those after 27 seasons of the show. I do think there was an interaction in one of the episodes when he talked about his house he had repaired, and they showed how the room Bob Saget Ted and the kids are sitting in evolved from it's decrepit state.

Scion of Valyria Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Sorry, Scot, I have zero desire in trying to pinpoint those after 27 seasons of the show. I do think there was an interaction in one of the episodes when he talked about his house he had repaired, and they showed how the room Bob Saget Ted and the kids are sitting in evolved from it's decrepit state.Nope, no mother there. As far as I can recall, the kids have had no on-screen interaction with the mother.The mother-dead angle could easily work. Whether or not they'd let it play out that is a different matter. Yeah, the show has dealt with grief pretty well and it would be certainly an interesting and novel way to end the show, but if that were the case, why has Ted spent ten years discussing his romantic and sexual escapades before he met the mother of his children as opposed to their meeting and courtship (the latter of which will not even be part of the show)?

lady narcissa Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If you do a search on the internet it appears quite a number of people wrote about the possibility of the mother being dead back in April. This seems to be the one most cited:http://www.tv.com/news/investigating-how-i-met-your-mothers-latest-conspiracy-theories-is-the-mother-dead-is-ted-dead-are-we-all-reading-too-much-into-this-thing-136518957744/The title of the episode that prompted the discussion - "The Time Travelers" - is fairly close to the book title "The Time Traveler's Wife" which is a rather bittersweet story.
