I'm very sad. The Christmas episode and Bar Mitzvah episode were both outstanding.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

Hey. New board.
I just caught up on HIMYM, and after those scenes I honestly can't believe any other theory than that the mother is doomed. I don't see any other way to interpret those lines in the future-scenes; the writing has been too good on the show this season, especially in the bits about the mother, for those to be some sort of trick or lead nowhere.
I don't know about the "about to marry Robin" part of it, though I would be fine with that (except it would make me a little sad for Barney and Robin to be divorced) but the dying mother seemed rather obvious. My wife didn't catch it right away, so maybe I'm reading more into it than was there, but it's the only thing that made sense to me.
Just the thought of it is making me cry little tears sitting here in my easy chair, but I would not think it was a bad way for the series to end at all. Just a sad way. Not very sitcom-like, but the best sitcoms hit their emotional sads with all their strength, and this has, through much of its run, been one of the best.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Do we know for sure that Barney and Robin actually marry? In tonight's episode when Robin's mother was asking if she had a man that she could really count on, it seemed like Robin may have been thinking about Ted.
The end of tonight's episode made me cry.

Gris, the other possibility that has been mentioned is that Lily has died and she is the one who is going to miss her daughter's wedding. I don't have a good enough memory to know exactly how far in the future they have shown Lily.

Hey. New board.
Far. They showed her sending Marvin off to college just last week and that seems to be later than the scenes last week. And the drunken Marshall interview a few weeks ago seemed even later.

I loved Donna realizing that Scandal was her favorite show. I didn't realize until today that Scandal is on another network on Thursday night. Bravo, Parks and Rec!

That is a really good idea, Nora.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm watching it now, and boy, I do not miss Pierce.
