I almost think they are setting us up for some kind of St. Elsewhere type twist.
My prediction is that when the show ends the mother will have died and Ted will marry Robin.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I could see that being where they are going. Although, what about Barney?

Thrive to spite them
I can't remember where it was but I read the theory the whole thing is Ted's lonely dream.

-t, divorce? Barney dies too? I just get the sense that the writers regret that they wrote themselves into a corner with Ted and Robin and they'll try to fix it in the finale.

You could be right about that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
And now that I have actually seen this week's episode, I think there are two things in it that support my theory. The idea that Barney will be on his fourth wife in 20 years and the fact that if Ted could go back in time, he would go back and meet their mother earlier to have more time with her, indicating that maybe he has already lost her.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm way, WAY too invested in my fiction, because I REALLY needed Abed to get with Rachel.

ME TOO. Or I could get with her, I don't know.
OH! She was Brie Larson, a.k.a. Envy Adams.
Also? THAT TAG. ZOMG.
Did you not know about the puppets?? I didn't realize they were coming so soon!

It's confusing me! Pierce isn't supposed to do nice things! Not this often!
