How I Met Your Mother

[SDS1582]

Here's a quote from show co-creator Carter Bays: "Our ninth season will tell the epic story of the longest wedding weekend ever. We hope you like it. Next stop, Farhampton...”

The entire season will be the wedding weekend? Season 8 ended at 10 AM on Friday, 56 hours from the wedding. Interesting.

Holy hell, a whole season around one wedding?!

Well those guys have kept me glued on till now, don't think they'll disappoint now. This is brave, can't wait.

I'm wondering if they're going to do the wedding from each main character's perspective. They've kind of done that with a couple episodes over the course of the series, where they show the same events but from different perspectives. That's really the only way I could see them dragging out a whole season revolving around 1 wedding weekend. Now that they've revealed the mother, we can see things from her perspective too.

I think it's safe to assume at this point that the final moment of the season/series will be at the train station when Ted and the mother finally meet.

It'd be great if they showed how the mother was always there at crucial junctures at Ted's life (she kinda's already written in like that, the umbrella, bass etc), but she has to have that extra special kick of a connection to knock Robin outta Ted's heart for good.

Yes, I think we'll definitely see some of that. We already know she was in the economics class that Ted accidentally taught, on his first day as an architectual professor. We know she was in the same night club as Barney and Ted on St. Patrick's day early in the series. She was Cindy's roommate, etc.

We see Ted heading to the wedding disbelieving all that Ted is, believing in Karma, romance and stuff, I think finally at the wedding when he sees at how many crucial junctures the mother has been, ye that will be the payoff.

Well, another mother of a mystery has been solved, just days after CBS’ How I Met Your Mother raised the curtain on the titular lady.

Series cocreator Carter Bays previously revealed that as HIMYM unspools its ninth and final season, viewers will become “much better” acquainted with Cristin Milioti’s bass-playing cutie – whom we first and briefly laid eyes on at the close of the Season 8 finale — as the show tells “the epic story of the longest wedding weekend ever.”

CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler has now confirmed for TVLine that Season 9′s entire run will, in fact, span the wedding weekend and just the wedding weekend, as the comedy details “how each character, before Ted, meets the mother. So, they each meet her independently before he does.”

Hopefully, she makes a good first impression on each!

Milioti — whose casting was kept top-secret using fake episode titles and a largely closed set during taping — is familiar to New York theatergoers as the breakout star of the acclaimed musical Once.

Not too sure how I feel about this. I wanna see how everyone's lives plays out (e.g. Marshall being a judge, will Lily go to Italy?, Robin and Barney stuff). However, it will be very interesting to see how they make us care for the mother if this season is all about the weekend wedding. Why do I get a feeling that Ted marries the mother right away in a small wedding, it just fits. Ted's been hasty to get married early on in the seasons and it looks like it'll be right in his alley to propose to the mother rather quick. Should be interesting to see how the last season goes.
