    I've never really read any HIMYM threads so apologies if this has been covered, but is the season ending spoiler
    that the mother died when the kids were young? and he is telling them his life story, and the brief time that they had together before she died? I'm not really sure what made me think this, but am I completely wrong or is there some potential in it?

    Episode this week was pretty good. Some funny bits with the first season of HIMYM with different people.

    Wish they'd hurry up with the mother storyline :(

    I used to love this show. I still watch now out of habit more than anything. Lilly is just a cartoon character and Ted is just utterly unlikeable.

    Interesting, this has crossed my mind also.

    Grand episode this week, but one major annoyance. When they are watching the TV show, the TV they are watching it on has no cables connected. Ghost TV.

    Spinoff ahoy.....
    With the hit CBS series now in its final season, Deadline is reporting that a spinoff of "How I Met Your Mother" might be on the way. Tentatively titled "How I Met Your Father," the new show would center on an all-new female lead and her own group of friends.

    "How I Met Your Mother" creators and executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are teaming with "Up All Night" creator and executive producer Emily Spivey to develop the new show. Early plans would have the new lead introduced in the final episodes of "Mother," with the potential existing for current show's popular characters to guest star on "Father."

    Could be OK with a whole new set of characters.

    This has been in the rumor mill for a while if I remember correctly. Looks like it could become more of a reality now. While it could be an interesting watch, to see how they tie it altogether, I'm still not so sure. The concept of the show has gotten old for me personally. I didn't mind being dragged along for 9 seasons, if the humour stayed consistent. But it didn't, and I don't think HIMYF would be any different despite new characters.

    I really enjoyed the most recent episode. Had a good mix of comedy and sentimental moments.
    I like what they're doing with this season overall, and in my opinion has redeemed itself after a few awful years.

    Loved this episode! It was pretty funny and I loved the ending, I sobbed like crazy!
    No, I do not have a life.

    I find that seriously annoying. I think I might sit out the next few and just watch the last couple of episodes. This season is just irritating me at this stage!

    This is the worst season by ****ing far! Zero laughs and im even noticing the audience laughing 3 times during an unfunny sentence. Is this the last season?

    christ that CGI up on the lighthouse was terrible

    the season has been poor so far, they really should have changed some of the dynamic of it, being the last season and all, sure noting has been said about ted moving to chicago after the wedding, and the marshall road tripping across america is just downright stupid,

    and its 8 episodes in and only lilly has met the mother,

    I don't know, I thought it was really good! If it wasn't a comedy it would have been great! There was one or 2 gags, and it was nice seeing
    Bryan Cranston doing something (and stealing the show really) again!
