How I met you mother season 9, seriously Rata how did you get the thread title wrong you're terrible

I would be really surprised if they go the mom's dead route. They've already said it ends with a twist. With all the build up and vague comments leading us to believe she dies the twist is that she lives. At least I hope so. It would suck balls if the series ended on a sad note.

holy fuck, was not expecting that

[Fievel]

Spoiler: show

I'm thinking it lends credence to the theory that the mother dies at some point before ted tells his kids the story, she may be sick or something here which explains the dwelling in memories and him needing to live for the future or whatever, maybe they know she won't be alive for their daughter's wedding

Spoiler: show

oh holy fuck. That makes so much sense.

[Ratatapa]

Was a sweet ending

[Kirin]

For what it's worth:

Spoiler: show

A few places have asked the "Mother" actress directly if she is dead and she says "thats crazy". Also she says they have not filmed multiple endings to trick either the crew or staff about how the show ends, this specific interview was apparently done right before the end of filming.

Starting to think it's Lily who passes away, not the Mother...

Couldn't it just be Ted's mom?

That seems to be the new theory popping up.

I know how much hates this...but did anyone else

Spoiler: show

Think that when Robin said she has someone, she was thinking of Ted not Barney? She was making a face.


Also I don't think anyone is gonna die.

I kind of had that feeling too. And I hated it lol. 3 friggin episodes left, I hope they don't go back to that again

He let her go -- floated off into the great unknown. Just stop it, stop it now.

Didn't they already show that she was still alive fairly far into the future when they did the will episode?

[Tyrath]

I think it's a silly assumption that someone has to die for it to be a big plot twist. That works in shows like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead, but really has no business to be happening in a long running comedy series like HIMYM. They already had a secondary character die in Marshall's dad. I think that's as far as they will go.

[Akiyama]

Seriously, all these theories are getting borderline absurd now, lol

Let's just enjoy the series for what it is and stop looking too deep into it~

As far as the Robin and her mom thing at the end.. her mom had just spent the entire episode basically describing Barney to a T, so I mean.. RIP Robin's sanity lol

I think the oldest we've seen her is when she visits Marvin in college, but it doesn't change the fact that she can pass away before Daisy's wedding.

They showed her when Lily and Marshal was celebrating Marshall in the future, and they both looked to be in their 50's or 60's then.

Seriously, why does anyone have to die? It's kind of a feel-good comedy show, I highly doubt they will end it by killing off one of the main characters just to make a plot twist in the LAST FRIKKIN' EPISODE of the show. This isn't a show like Lost where the entire premise of the show is the shock factor.

If it absolutely HAS to end with a plot twist, it's probably going to be Robin finding out she's pregnant even though she was told she can't have kids, or something like that.

Or Ted has a twin brother and she left Barney to go with him

Or Ted IS the twin brother, and all these flash-forwards we're having with Ted and the Mother are actually the Mother and Ted's brother

[Qalbert]

or there's no mother, no kids, no marshall or lily or barney or robin, just the insane ramblings of someone in a mental institution

Or child protection came after the first season to take the children away for negligence since he's obviously failed in his role as a father, and now he's locked up in a mental institution telling the story to his psychiatrist or fellow patients?

Or maybe the plot twist is him saying "Kids, it is true, that is where I met your mother, and had I only dared to speak to her that day both of you would be real, but now I'm alone and sad. I guess the moral of the story is 'Dare to take a chance'"
