Why are you white-fonting all that, JZ?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just in case anyone hasn't yet caught up on the last episode (which was only a couple of days ago, not a full week), because it's speculation based on very specific things in the episode. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered, but it feels... uncouth to non-spoilerfont it at less than a week after. Probably just old-fashioned force of habit.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
JZ, that theory has been mine ever since the episode where Ted told the kids that if he could go back in time he would have met the mother several months earlier. And, I don't really see it as a betrayal to the fans if the Mother is dead, for just the reason you mention. The fact that the Mother had a fiancee that she obviously loved very much, who died, and could eventually move on and fall in love with Ted, seems to be setting up the idea that Ted his telling the kids how much he loved the Mother before he tells them that he is marrying Robin. Barney already mentioned earlier in the season that he would be on his third wife at some point in the future (I don't remember the exact year he gave), but I don't think it was a throw away line.

Punishingly Intricate
Thanks, JZ, I got that that theory was in play especially after this last ep. I just am not familiar with Shadowlands.
eta In googling to find out about it, I learned there is a laser tag chain called Shadowlands in the MD/VA area. ha!

Oh no! One of the only sitcoms I consistently love. Sadface.

I haven't really loved this season as much, since Greg Garcia left, but I am going to miss it.

Yeah, it might actually be time for it to end, but I am still a little sad about it. It's a sweet little show and has been very funny.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm very sad. The Christmas episode and Bar Mitzvah episode were both outstanding.

I don't mean it's getting worse, just all the characters seem more or less content, so it seems like a good place to close the book.
