<![CDATA[Latest posts for the topic "My opinion, "The Mother" is! "]]> http://upnpress.com/forum/posts/list/215.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net My opinion, "The Mother" is! I have a feeling we "the viewers" have already seen "the mother" in a past episode. My educated guess is that she is the woman who Ted briefly runs into at the club in the episode, "No Tomorrow" The beginning of the show Ted “Narrator” he said, “Kids, I never would have met your mother if it wasn’t for a little luck., especially the luck of the Irish.” Later he said, “I went to a big St. Patrick’s Day party, and it’s a good thing I did., because funny story, your mother was their.” Later in the episode after Robin admits to Lilly that she and Marshall found out their new apartment is crooked. The next shot is Ted and Barney back at the club. Ted bumps into a anonymous woman walking by and Ted briefly apologizes. The only words exchanged between the two of them Ted said, "I'm sorry" and then the woman replied, "that's okay"She is wearing a sleeveless silk multi-colored blouse, she has blackish long wavy hair, and is a little /slightly shorter than Ted and petite. Immediately after Ted bumped into “the anonymous woman” he walks over to Barney and says ““Dude, I’m having second thoughts about that theory.” Ted actually is implying to Barney’s earlier theory about “the universe,“ but he is also telling us “the viewers” that there is something wrong with all our theories of who “the mother” actually is, and all this time it’s right under our noses. Also during the closing monologue of this episode Ted said, “I later found out that your mother was at that same party/club that night, but it’s a good thing she didn’t meet me, because she would have not like me too much, but it’s a good thing I didn’t because I didn’t like me.Hypothetically other related theories of mine from some episodes that have clues, and they are in in Season One: "Milk" and "Come On."My opinion is that I believe she is the same girl Ted was supposed to meet at McClarran’s the night he had to pick up Lilly when her car got a flat tire and she’s convinced Ted to leave his blind date at McClarran’s and help her out. And later he rediscovers his feelings for Robin and never meets his blind date in the episode "Come on."And in the episode "Milk" we see Ted‘s "blind date" in a bunch of random pictures of her posing in, as Ted mentions their mutual qualities and interests. Her face is hidden, but she has similar body features as the same woman Ted ran into at the club during the episode "No Tomorrow."Could "the mother" possibly be both the woman who Ted was supposed to meet for his blind date and the anonymous woman he bumps into at the club? But I'm definetly suggesting "the mother" is the woman from the club.Ted is always searching for a specific reason “WHY?’ and that fate/destiny will have something to do with finding “the mother.“ The episode “No Tomorrow” is essential to this show and who the mother is…. Think about it!- ComeOnTed

I think there were many links as to who the mother would be. Like 1. She is the same person for whom Ted is waiting on the Halloween party on his apartment's terrace. The girl is supposed to come in Penguin’s dress2. She is the same person whose id was matched by Love Solutions and he was supposed to meet her at McLaurens pub. But then Lily calls him while she is skeptical about going to California. And Ted misses the date3. She is the one whose yellow umbrella is now with Ted.

Stella could have been at the same St Patricks Day jamboree. She mentions that the last time she went out was for a lame St Patricks Day party and they left early. So it is concievable that she was at the same event. However, I believe it to be more probable that it is a friend of Stella. She would have been out with friends at the party. Since we also got a look at Stella's friends on her and Ted's "first date", you could buy the season three DVD set and compare the girls in the movie theater with the girl he bumps into at the club. If there's a match...

I actually just posted the same conclusion on TV.com for How I met your Mother. Watching the St. Paddy's day episode, I just had a gut feeling that when he ran into a woman at the club and said "excuse me" and she replied with "no problem", that it was her. Why have that small bit of dialogue there if that wasnt' the case. And Ted had already remarked that his future wife was at the club at the same time. I'm willing to bet my life savings that it was this woman who will end up being his wife! What does everyone else think?

Okay remrooster, you did some research for me so I have returned the favor. As best as I can tell, without watching the episode again, the actress name is Nicole Muribrook Wagner. It looks like most of her acting experience is in comercials. It would be really cool if she ended up the part, but I kind of feel like it was a bit too obvious. Like you said, why else would they put that part in the show. But I sort of feel like the writers are just messing with us a bit here. Are you reading this Carter Bays? If so I bet you are laughing... I am of the opinion that it won't be Stella, not to say that it can't be because the people who do so usually come up with some relatively weak arguments against it. But I do believe that Stella will play a big role in Ted's ultimate matrimony. So I am sticking to the opinion that it is a friend of hers.

On a side note, (sorry ComeOnTed, not trying to go off topic) when I was tracking down that actress I noticed that the main cast has appeared in 65 episodes. Bob Saget has credit for only 62 of them. Either this is a mistake or three of the episodes didn't have a narrator. Can anyone remember an episode without him?

I think that Sara Paxton, who was orginally cast as Stella's sister, will be the mother. I read some news that said she is going to be replaced by Danneel Harris, and that she'd be cast in the show later. It may just be my opinion, but there is a remarkable resemblance between Sara Paxton and Lyndsy Fonseca (Ted's Daugther). Plus, she was originally suppose to play Stella's sister, which would have made more sense since Stella could have been at the St.Patrick's Day Party with her. Maybe she's going to be Stella's friend that Stella took to the club on St.Patrick's Day where Ted and Barney were. Who knows, I know it's a long shot, but I still have a soft spot for Ted and Robin. I've tried to come to terms with the whole Barney and Robin thing, but If you look back on episodes with Ted and Robin, you can't help but fall in love with them as a couple again.

Well I dont think that the mother is Stella or a sister of Stella.Reason being that future Ted is telling this story to his kids, if it was a sister of Stella he would have to refer to Stella as Aunt Stella which he hasn't done.Stella can't be the mother because once again he is telling the story to his kids and I would think the kids would know their mother's first name.

If I recall, Stella said that she got dragged to the party by either a friend of hers or a cousin. I think that was the girl that Ted bumped into on St. Patty's Day, Stella's friend or cousin. So, Stella wouldn't be Aunt Stella, as someone else suggested. She'd just be a cousin or friend of the family's. Just a suggestion.

Plus their changing the scripts weekly depending on viewers and stuff.I think there trying to introduce as many characters (female) as possible so that eventually they can fill the spot with the Yellow Umbrella...But just because "she" is there mother doesn't mean she is the one ted marrys or is still married with. Its how i met your mother, not how i met my wife. So in all honestly, i hope that the mother is a new character, but that something in the story puts him and robin together at the finale.

It can't be Robin, because the narrator refers to her as Aunt Robin. I always thought the kids looked like Robin. But is it possible she has a Canadian sister Ted hasn't met?

In the first season, the narrator mentions this. I don't think I've heard it in later season's. I remember we met her younger sister when the gang went to the Empire State Building. But alas, strange things happen in TV Land!

I dont think the mother is Robin as i have stated before... But i said i would love for somehow Ted is with Robin at the end. For example there mother could be someone new in the show but after they had kids they divorced or never married and he eventually goes back with Robin or something. Just because hes talking about the mother of his kids does not mean that he is married to her at that moment.But thats just something i would want cuz i really want him and robin to be together.

The first episode of season three ted explains to his kids about how there is more than one story to how he met their mom. He continues to say how they already know about the story with their mom and her umbrella as you see a yellow blow by in the wind. In the episode no tommorow you see a woman with a yellow umbrella waiting in line at the club she is entering and all you see is that she is wearing blue jeans, and yes the girl that ted bumps into is wearing blue jeans but if that is her is yet to be decided.

Now that the DVDs are out I have carefully looked at the person with the yellow umbrella that went into the club that night and then watched the club scene stopping constantly to check to see if any of the people in that scene match and I couldn't find a match.I forget if it was during season two or three but they have filmed one of the critical scenes for the final episode. Which means the writers know to some extent or another how it ends. I think the connections are ones that wouldn't be obvious. It will end up being random but working. I think they are trying to throw us off and progress the storyline a little bit while still leaving it open to end should the show not get picked up for another season.Also at the end of the St. Patrick's day episode he says that he did not met the mother that night so it can't be the person he bumped into at the club. (besides the fact i watched the episode over and over trying to pick up on a clue of some kind)

Dear Slick -I'm sorry that you watched the episode "No Tomorrow' over and over again attempting to pick up on some random clue. I'm also sorry but not everyone can be as awesome as the few of us in seeing the logic behind who the mom is..Not Stella.. Not Robin.. a girl who's face we haven't seen yet.Thanks for listening Now for everyone else -Please being a writer myself I understand how to progress a story.. and how to leave things as secrets.. What I meant to say from above is the "person" who is Ted's real wife will be revealed this season.. the writers don't have to reveal that it is the mom.. they can wait till the end to do that..All I'm saying.. is someone new comes along.. and that my friends will be the mom.. and it'll be the story of how he pursues her and finally wins her over.They'll leave everyone guessing till the end.. because I guarantee..The first time Ted meets his future wife.. she'll won't give him the time of day.. and probably end up hating him.

Really nothing lost by watching the episode. It was a good one, and I figured it was worth a try. I agree we haven't met the mother yet.What is interesting is that at some point in this season they are bringing back everyone that Ted met last season. This was leaked before CBS announced that they were going to bring back HIMYM. We do know that they have filmed one of the critical scences for the final episode.So for the time being the writers are messing with us, giving us clues, even some misdirection plays. They know more or less how it ends (at least in part). Matt-I am going to disagree with your statement that at first the mother wont give him the time of day. I think the show is going to end with him meeting her. Not really getting to know her. (Just like the future kids were in shock when he ended the Thanksgiving Episode at a strip club, and they thought that was the end of the story). The only way he can get away with trying to pursue the mother that wont give him a chance is if he doesn't know her name. This show is being told backwards. The kids are going to know the name of their own mother and if he mentions it then thats the end of the show.Anyways just my thoughts

=uOUhZ-9 - yXQ)Further research showed that when the show was sold into syndication (which wont start until the year 2010) I read this"Though it’s nice that fans will be able to see the show five days a week, the great news becomes apparent when you read the “fine print” of the syndication agreements. Mother’s four-year syndication contract stipulates that the studio will deliver 110 half-hour episodes in the year 2010. At the end of the fourth season (which kicks off on Monday), only 90 episodes will have been produced. That means that, under the syndication deal, the studio is obligated to deliver at least 20 more episodes, ensuring Mother will get a fifth season."Also the syndication has the right to 8 seasons. Also in an interview with the Chicago Tribune Craig Thomas had this to say about the series (article is date July 19th, 2008 )"However he did reveal that more than two years ago, he and Carter filmed a scene that will air when "HIMYM" ends for good. With only the two kids who play Ted’s future children, a cameraman and executive producer/director Pamela Fryman present, they shot a scene that directly relates to the identity of the mother. That scene will be included in the show’s series finale, which Thomas said he hopes “people will see in 2012.”Matt-looks like your left testicle is safe for the time beingAny further questions? I believe you just got (as Marshall would say) LAWYERED! (sorry couldn't resist)

It is great to hear that the show still has time. I was happy to stumble on to this, a hilarious relief from all the reality stuff. It took only one episode to get my wife hooked.As for the mother thing. It is most likely not Stella. "No Tomorrow" falls between "The Platinum Rule", where Ted meets Stella, and "Ten Sessions". If Ted had already met Stella, and been out on the "not date" he would have recognized her at the club. To those that say she left before he got there, I reply with follow the umbrella. As Ted approaches the line everyone acts as if it has just stopped raining. And if the umbrella was left, I doubt the mother left before he got there.Also, I would hope that in the months that Ted has been with Stella she would have noticed he has her BRIGHT YELLOW umbrella. It has to have rained in that time.Probably not her. Just sayin'.

CBS is letting the writers finish the show on their own terms, which they have said will be 7 seasons.Therefore, there is no reason that mother has to be presented in season 4.So sit back and enjoy a great show continue its run. Another thing, I'm sure the mother is someone that the viewers do not know anything about yet or have even seen. At the St. Patty's party, I'm sure there is a scene where the mother is shown but we haven't seen it yet (and of course, Ted doesn't actually meet her there).

Food for thought: Robin isn't 100% out of the running for the mother. All it would take for the writers to get Narrator Ted out of the references to "Aunt Robin" would be for The gang to befriend another woman named Robin somewhere along the line. The kids may be assuming the "Aunt Robin" their dad refers to is this other Robin, the one THEY know as "Aunt." The fact that the kids are being told this story is reason enough to assume they don't know all the details, or the true time lines of when everyone met each other.Also, the fact that the kids are just teens in 2030 would account for the years our Robin was traveling for work before settling down.But then, that's probably just wishful thinking on my part. I can't make the St. Paddy's day thing mesh with the Robin theory... unless someone knows of an hour or so of Robin's time that was unaccounted for that night.

Barney is telling the story to his kids using Teds life to sugar coat his own. Barney is the one changing the way he feels right now. We know the wife wouldnt have liked him on st. patricks day, now Barney is starting to have feelings for Robin which eventually will be someone else.. But Barney is the one changing... Why I dont think it is Ted.. Why isnt his face showing in the wedding photo in the future? Both faces are cut off not just the brides.

Just to tell u that whoever it is they would have to show her around 2010 or a little further because the kids look like they are 12 or so. That means if he was dating the mom for about a year or so then they would have to show her pretty soon in a season or two maybe at the end of this one. i do also believe it is the girl he ran into at the party. guess we will find out pretty soon.

My husband is certain that the mother is the waitress, has says that she keeps turning up outside of the bar.

First I would like to thank the Gods that I won't have to give up my left testicle to keep "How I met your Mother" continuing to be on the air and furthering it's Awesomeness across TV land.Second. I would like to welcome my outstandingness back to the message boards. Hello Matt. Glad you can be back. Why thank you Matt, I'm glad to be back.Now that's over. I went back and read some of the posts I've missed in my leave and I must say... WOW.You people must really be either be eating a lot of "Sandwhiches" ... (for all you rookies that are confused, go back to Season 2 and rewatch the episodes), because all your theories.. I mean come on.. The waitress as the mother? Hell no.Or future Barney is really telling the story and he's using Ted's name to sugar coat the story? HELL NO.And people please.. all these Robin is the Mom theories? Give it a break. She's not the mom.. she won't ever be the mom.. the writers are sneakingly building up the releationship between her and Barney (which I'm loving).Here is the one big fact that you all must accept.Season 3.. Episode 1. The Yellow Umbrella.The mom is connected to 1.) being at the St. Patty's Day party... 2.) She has a yellow Umbrella which Ted now has... 3.) The Mom is connected to being Ted's Soulmate from the Dating company.How does this all work? Easy.. now pay attention my up and coming Bros'men..From the DAting company Ted was suppose to meet up with his Soul mate on a blind date but didn't go.. this was the same episode that Lilly went for her interview at the art school. So of course he doesn't know what she looks like.. that's why I think the mom and the soul mate are one in the same.The mom WILL be introduced... at least the character.. but we wont' know it's her.If the show is going ot last so many more seasons.. you think a lot of the seasons are going to focus on teh following.. Ted meeting an awesome girl...but can't date her.. because she doesn't want to.. (hard to get). And it's not until later down the road where we find more about her.Ted has gone through a lot of stupid relationships (Stella being one of them). So that's why I'm saying.. Ted is going to finally meet the future mom soon.. and he will pursue her.. but they won't reveal it's her till the bitter end. And everything comes together. and we're like.. OHHH... This whole thing of waiting till the last season to reveal the character who is the mom is dumb. They already have the actress who plays the mom.. because I bet you my RIGHT testicle that they've already shot scenes with the Mom in them.Class Dismiss!! Live and Die by the Bro Code!

Open up your brain tanks, bros 'cause here comes some premium 91 octane knowledge:Upon even FURTHER review of "No Tomorrow", I have another theory to add to the mix...Look back at the episode, Ted goes back to the club from St. Patrick's Day to look for his phone but it is never shown that he actually FINDS his phone. Remember that since "Ted's Butt" randomly calls people from the new phone, he left multiple messages to Marshall over the course of the night.Here comes the Epiphany: What if the mother has his phone? Maybe she also randomly called Marshall that night but he thought nothing of it since there were plenty of voices heard within the club on the message. It seems much more likely that the phone somehow links them (even though the umbrella is a Big Bird yellow people are bound to remember is theirs if they see a dude (Ted) walking down the street with it).

So that doesn't make sense that it would be Victoria.

Just to keep in mind that he is telling the story from memory, and Carter Bays has even said that Older Ted is an unreliable narrator. So to get hung up on some of the little details (particularly of "No Tomorrow" when he was trashed anyhow) is a waste. They set up the season finale of season 3 with Ted asking Stella to marry him in case the show didn't get renewed (it didn't get renewed until May 18, after the season finale), and now that they've negotiated syndication, we're in for at least through season five and from what I hear probably seven seasons. In any case, the rest of this season will probably have Ted have a couple semi-serious relationships but he breaks up with them because they don't like Ewoks, especially since he's more picky after the whole Stella thing but she still can't be hotter than Robin, and something between Robin and Barney happening for this year's season finale.

Agreed.In that sentence, mom should not be capitalized, which makes it important. Which makes me think she is the mother. Also, at the end, Jamie Lynn and her friend went to go find Ted, so in the next few episodes, I think we'll hear something more about that.

I know a lot of people don't think that Robin is the mother, although I still hold out hope. Because think about, Ted was the longest relationship she has been in and the first guy to say that she loves him. She was drawn to him at first site, and really hurt after they broke up. They obviously still care about each other but broke up because at the time they wanted different things. Ted could be saying "Aunt Robin" to hide the fact that it is their mother, because first of all he can't actually be using real names because I am sure his kids know their mothers name and once he said it would know right away. Plus since they introduced Robin in the very first episode, well that would be kind of a short show. So instead he plays it off that she wasn't the mother, therefore forcing his kids to stay and listen to him talk about their whole life story

If that was because they were close friends, you'd think he'd call them Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshal too, but he doesn't. I think the mother is an actual sister of Barney or Robin that we haven't met yet. We know Robin's dad wanted a boy and never got one, but did he have another girl, giving Robin a sister??? Or had Barney ever mentioned one? Just a thought.

I like dianafan's theory, but I want to "awesome-ify" it a little bit:We met Robin's sister already in "First Time in New York" from Season Two, but she was pretty young and that would be a hefty age gap if she married Ted. We know Barney has a brother, James, but I think that does it for his siblings (as far as we know).Not sure how Robin would become "Aunt Robin" but according to Wikipedia (would be pronounced "wiki-pay-dia" according to Ted) we meet Ted's sister, "a former wild-child" moving to NYC, in an upcoming episode. If Barney should marry her (thus breaking Bro Code Article 19) he would become a real Uncle Barney.

Plus is makes sense now the only real thing is why do they call her Aunt Robin? Personally I am still a huge believer in Ted and Robin, although it is very unlikely. My theory for that is Ted is telling his kids that she is aunt Robin so that he can tell his kids the whole love story between them. Considering we met Robin in episode 1 and the show would be pretty short in that case. Because if u think about it, they really don't want to sit there and listen, so he tricks them into staying by not telling them who their mother is. Ted's sisters name could be Robin, hence the Aunt Robin, although highly unlikely as well. But they have eluded to the fact that Robin and Ted's relationship isn't over yet, because before they break up, she says to him that if she were to have babies he would be the one she would want to have the babies with, as well as in this season she tells him that she still has feelings for him and asks him not to get married. Then of course about 2 episodes ago she sees a baby sock and holds onto it showing that she is starting to warm up to the fact about children. The kids have dark hair, and I think in a picture behind the kids there is a picture of the kids, Ted and Robin.

It would be one way to tie in Smulders pregnancy; however, I still believe that we have seen a couple other candidates who could be the Mother.

Actually this is also my opinion and it has been for a long time now.At the end Ted will be with Robin!Why do I think this? Well, this is going to be a long post so go easy on me...At this point I would like to present as evidences the following 3 episodes (others will be left for further posts): Season3 Episode "little boys"Season3 Episode "how I met everyone else"Season4 Episode "shelter Island" Let's start with the last one..."Shelter Island" has a very interesting dialogue between Robin and Ted. I'm talking about the one where Robin tells Ted not to get marry. And it's not only important because we discover that Robin still has feelings for Ted but because it brings the romantic part of the history. Robin clearly says that Ted deserves a romantic ending for his romantic story. This is important because it's not the first time that Ted+Robin been quoted as a romantic couple. It happens on "how I met everyone else" when Barney starts saying nobody has a romantic love at first sight meeting like in the movies where you spot a girl through the crowd... oh wait, that's right... that's just how Robin and Ted met! Of course this episode is also very important because of different things including Ted's famous date... The Blabla girl!!!Think about it. Why does Ted remember so many things and some many other names and this one is... well... BlaBla??? Thinking too hard? Don't bother... The writers give us the answer in the same episode by BlaBla own words when she discovers that Ted and Robin where once together. She says something like:"I'm just some girl that you will forget the name once you get back to Robin"And finally I would like to point out the last min of the "little boys" episode where we are shown some drawings made by the kids (this episode is the one where Robin dates a guy who has a son on Lilly's class).All drawings are of the kids with "aunt Robin" at the beach, at the zoo... so my question is: how many of us have a drawing like that? Seriously! How many of us have a drawing where you are at a place ONLY with your brother and your "aunt"? Come on, hands up please! I have no further sentences for now so I'll sit down and enjoy your comments for now.P.S. - Of course there is also my personal point of view that the only reason for a father to tell his kids the story of how he met their mother all in one straight shot is if she is long gone and they didn't had known her much...

The other alternative is that the writers have gone into this without a plan and are just waiting for the best idea to be posted here, never figuring that the show would last this long and have to have an ending.

marshall was called "uncle marshall" in this recent "the fight" episode.

It won't be Robin cause during the episode "No Tomorrow" "older Ted" says he didn't meet the mother before then and that she was at that same party. Also, that takes Lilly out of the running to be the mother. The reason why "older Ted" calls Barney, Marshall, Lilly, and Robin as aunts and uncles is because they're all close friends and its to show respect to them infront of the kids. The last few episodes Robin has been showing that her "biological clock" seems to have started alarming. So she has started to change and I'm guessing that Ted helps her find her future husband by the end of the season.

I noticed on the brief summary information it read:>>>When his best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), announces that he's finally going to wed his longtime girlfriend (Alyson Hannigan), single guy Ted (Josh Radnor) throws his search for a soul mate into high gear. Via flashback, he recounts to his kids (Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie) 25 years later the often-hilarious story of how he met -- and eventually married -- their mother (Cobie Smulders). Neil Patrick Harris plays Ted's barhopping buddy. << If it turns out to be someone else, the whole connection between Ted and Robin is such a disappointment. lol oh well if she ended up only as 'Aunt Robin' tHe show is still great! As far as the talk about Barney and Robin. Nah uh... no way, the writer would have to be desperately out of ideas to make them two end up together. What a disaster There is no way, Robin's character would be interested in Barney. kybcigx , I also noticed the emphasis made about Ted's first meeting with Robin in the very first episode. At the end of the show Ted says to his kids something like "and kids, that is how I met your.. Aunt Robin" and the daughter reacts and says "Dad! I thought this was about how you met MOM!" I think this little part here is to just throw the viewers off about Robin not being the mother. As obvious as this is telling us Robin's just an aunt, I think there's some twist to the words they chose to use. lol Like the daughter could have meant it by asking why Ted was calling her Aunt Robin instead of MOM... Just my take on that little scene because I still believe it's Robin.

That would make her responsible for all the events leading up to Ted's missing the airplane in season 2, and also provide a nice bookend for when Robin said, "I don't think we can go back any farther unless you know who lost the penny."

I know people are saying the robin is the mother, which i wish she was, but i dont know how they would fit it in. trust me if the writers or creators of the show could take some fan feedback and make that the series finale i would want it to go like this. Marshall and Lilly having kids and starting a family together, Barney being the usual single guy he who hits on all the chicks, and Ted and Robin falling in love at the end. I dont understand why they would introduce Robin in the show as Ted's "love of his life" if there was never something behind that. also they created the second season entirely devoted to Robin and Ted being together which is easily my favourite season, also they kid hinting that there feelings for each other havent changed (for example, Robin not wanting to Ted to get married and talking about changing her mind with kids)

Don't be mad, but i just have to clear a few things up. First, I think everyone should just forget about Robin being the mother, that relationship was killed the moment she slept with Barney. Ted was mad at Barney for breaking the bro code, but Im afraid Robin got the worst of it. We all saw the episode where Ted and Barney compete to see who as the most game. In the end Ted pulls the girl but is unable to "seal the deal" because he cant shake the image of Barney being all over her. It's very plausible that Robin now falls into the same category and ted will now see her as Barneys left overs. Its hard to recreate the same level of attraction for someone after they have been with your best friend...trust me.Secondly, you cant just forget the lady he ran into in the club on st pattys day. She might not be "the mother" but she will play an important role at some point in the series. Its A little thing we writers like to call dramatic Irony. For a example, a writer would never wast the time showing, describing, or introducing a gun into a story and not have a character use that gun at some point; to do so would be sloppy writing. This is even more prudent in television sitcoms because they only have about 20 mins to tell a story, so any dialog they write has to move the story along; they don't have time to be frivolous. Even if the writers were sloppy its doubtful that producers and directors would let such useless dialog go unchecked... unless it pertained to the story.

I'm sure you're often right about many things that have to do with writing. I'm not a writer... just a fan of the show.

I know she has been called Aunt Robin but, the creators said that future Ted is a unreliable storyteller so maybe something will happen. Plus i think it would be really awesome if Ted and Robin were together because everybody who watches the show wants them together but has just brushed them aside as a couple because she is known as Aunt Robin, everybody wants it, i think it would just be awesome if the creators surprised everyone and got them together.

I never really decided to check out the message boards until tonight,So I literally just read every post and theory ..so my response maybe a little all over the place =PAnyways I think the beauty of this show is well written it is,Basically every little theory on this board, a lot of great ones, has just as many reasons why it does not work..Not saying this show will have the same fate as "Definitely Maybe" but it may very well end up ending like that..For anyone who hasn't seen the movie, go check it out, it is similar ..But without ruining the movie, Basically the father tells a story to his daughter about how he met his mother , but he does not use the same names..Which could very well be possible in this case too, because Future Ted seems bored and just wants to tell a long story , so its not like he would ruin it by using certain peoples names because it would ruin the story early ..I do NOT think Future Ted is sick or anything of that nature..But whenever you are trying to piece together things from previous years it is very hard to put things in great order when your telling a story from over 20 years ago, so he might be mixing up things that happened in different years like the Goat for instance, just mainly because it happened so long ago , and its such a long story..I do NOT think it is Lilly , there is a clip of future Marshall and Lilly together when Marshall opens the letter that Lilly writes when she passes on, even though Marshall just opens it early and she is in the next room..I'm saying this from memory so I'm not 100% sure but I believe the whole match making place, said they had a 100% success rate..So that girl could very well end up being the same girl from the club..But that really could end up being anyone, and you can seriously spin that to be anyone..I mean lets use Robin for example..She was supposed to be at Marshall and Lillys that night, but who is to say she didn't leave for a little while to meet up with someone at said club..And they found out about the whole match making thing because of a report Robin did about it, so there is a good chance she ended up filling out one of those things as well..And with Future Ted rearranging the story a lil bit here and there its very possible..But I just used her as an example, because it could literally be anyoneAt first I agreed with some of the posters who mentioned that Ted could just be telling the story to his kids about how he met there mother, not his current wife..But after thinking about it, Ted is always searching for the one and seems like such a sap for romance I doubt he would leave the mother of his children, especially when he was going to go through with the wedding to Stella and she is the one who left him..I don't think they would end it with the mother being dead, or the mother leaving Ted at some point because As a father its not very cool to tell a story to your children that makes your mother look bad in the end , which it would..Bless this show, keeps me thinking

Even if its not Robin, which I think is a strong possibility, because all signs point to it not being her..I'm really starting to believe that the future mother will end up being someone that has been on the show before , even if not as big of a character as Robin,Stella, or Victoria ..I mean when you think about it to me it makes more sense for the mother to be someone the audience could so ohhh okay, makes sense kinda thing..I mean I doubt it will just be some random girl that its all pieced together in the last episode because that really separates the audience from the Mother of the child if that seems logical, like most people who watch TV or Movies, want an ending they can understand and feel a connection to ..I think the last scene of the show will have the Mother come into the room Ted is telling the story and show her face and yell at Ted or something for keeping the kids in there for so long

(continue from previous post)I like whoever the mom is to be the person who Ted matched with at the dating service...that would be neat to see how "close" they were to meeting early on...I think that they could have been in the same room together at this point because to me the title refers to how Ted met (meaning was introduced and came to know) the mother of his kids (they do call the narrator dad in an episode) and bumping into someone is not how you meet them unless you then buy them a drink and get to know them because of it (So, I like the idea of the girl he bumped into being the same girl he was matched with at the dating service and even being the slutty pumpkin if they want her to be...and her ending up being the mom, whom he will meet later).I do hope they don't introduce her soon and that we have some more season of HIMYM...

Judging from the overall story arc, I think that cucsalsaman is pretty much on par.I believe that every hint that has been given throughout the whole series is all set up for a big payoff in the end when they finally reveal who the mother is.-The mother was at the St. Paddy's party-She forgot her yellow umbrella at that party to which Ted has it now.-Her name has to be Tracy because when Future Ted makes the joke about meeting Tracy at the strip club, the kids wig out. What I speculate will add to the payoff would be:-She is the person Ted is matched up with from Love Solutions.-She is the person Ted bumps into at the St. Paddy's Day party.I'm not convinced about her being the "Slutty Pumpkin" because the pumpkin costume has no mask (technically) and the fact that Ted got her number (then lost it) would mean that he should at least know her name and would of remembered it in any capacity.

I do agree though that it would be nice if it was the person that the date place hooked him up with but again there is no mention of that by the narrator so it is unlikely to be the case.As for the Tracy comment, this is not a given there's no reason to think that Tracy is not also a fake name either as a fake one she made up or one the narrator changed as in defiantly maybe. For the umbrella incident though, Ted has picked up what we are led to believe is his future wife's umbrella, but as we have been shown in a clip of "the short story of how I met your mother" the umbrella is blowing across a wet road, this leads me to believe that there is some kind of incident where they both met, probably in the rain, and get talking over the umbrella or fighting over it or something like that. As this is what I believe to be close to the more likely conclusion of this series it would stand to reason then that whoever turns out to be Mrs Mosby was someone that he does not know, as opposed to being someone rehashed from earlier on in the series.

It looks like most of her acting experience is in comercials. It would be really cool if she ended up the part, but I kind of feel like it was a bit too obvious. Like you said, why else would they put that part in the show. But I sort of feel like the writers are just messing with us a bit here. Are you reading this Carter Bays? If so I bet you are laughing... I am of the opinion that it won't be Stella, not to say that it can't be because the people who do so usually come up with some relatively weak arguments against it. But I do believe that Stella will play a big role in Ted's ultimate matrimony. So I am sticking to the opinion that it is a friend of hers.
I strongly suspect that Stella will have a part in the marriage as well. Now that Scrubs is back on a major network again I think we will only see Stella now and then. I bet Stella will be shown pregnant before long. She and her husband and dtr...and new little wonder will meet the gang in the park...maybe Ted and new girlfriend together

I'm not totally sure that Robin will be involved in the meeting of the mother. Ted already made mention in "Milk" that he knew going after Robin would be a mistake, but it was his mistake to make, just like it was Lily's mistake to go after the art fellowship.Also, if my memory serves me, it's either in one of the commentaries or in the behind the scenes where Carter or Craig mention that Ted's relationship with Robin is a necessary step to make him a better person and ultimately ready to find his Mrs. Mosby.

That has been discussed a lot. Quite a few people hope that Ted meets their mother but doesn't end up with her in the future. Most people on that train of thought are still hoping for the Ted/Robin pairing.

It seems almost full circle if it was done that way. But I also believe that meeting the mother wouldn't be the end of the story. Just the first encounter isn't much of a story; the whole courtship dance is what would be interesting, seeing Ted being his overly romantic self and winning her over in a "make it rain" sort of crescendo that's worthy of being Ted Mosby. If the series lasts long enough, I would love to see Ted meet the mother, court her, and make it all the way to the marriage.But one thing that Carter and Craig have said in the first behind the scenes on the season 1 DVD was how they wanted to make the show true to life. What I mean is, that at that age, everyone is still idealistic in their dreams but no one really gets what they want in life, they make do with what they have. It's been slowly happening to everyone on the show.Marshall's dream was to work for the NRDC but it was cut short due to Lily's unknown spending habits, the crooked apartment, and the upcoming child (there's been talks about making Lily pregnant on the show, it might happen since Alyson Hannigan has announced that she is pregnant). Future Marshall and Lily seem to be well off which would assume that Marshall keeps his job at GNC to support his family.Lily's dream was to be a painter or at least teach painting at a college level but I believe the (if there is one) baby would change everything for her.Robin's dream was to be a world renown reporter but she's having difficulty being stuck doing the fluff pieces at the end of the news, crazy giant fan, monkey and marshmallows news, or now being unemployed. I don't see her becoming super famous because that's not what happens in life, you get somewhere comfortable and you stay there to support your means.Barney always wanted to be the consummate bachelor but it not going that way seeing as he's fallen in love with Robin.Ted thought that Robin was the one, he was wrong. He thought Stella was the one, he was wrong. There's a lot of life lessons for the group to go through.

The father is Ted, it must be cuz in the episode of his 30 birthday, he says MY birthday. And it was only Ted's birthday that episode, just to name one evidence that the dad is Ted.As for my theories, 1. I think that we havent met the "mother" yet, and it will be a totaly new face.2. Robin is the mother but they twisted the story in a way thay that no one understand,(well most sertenly not, but i would be Awesome)3. It's someone that we is in the series all the time doing small things, like walking by in background. So when the/if the episode when they meet comes whe all gonna go, -"Oooo....

They can't be Barney and Robins kids because they refer to Robin as Aunt Robin. And they shouldn't be Marshall and Lily's kids because the kids refer to Ted as Dad and Marshall and Lily are alive in the future (They spend every Thanksgiving at Uncle Marshall and Aunt Lily's)

There's only one place where that could happen and that would be at MacLarens, and then again, there is no constant face in the crowd except for Wendy The Waitress who's not there all the time. Also, if they're going to put someone in, they might do it "Doug" style and crop her in or go the Abby way and use a completely different body double (Abby has always had straight hair but in the first scene when mystery woman/Abby talks to Lily, she is seen from the back to be having wavy hair). Chances are they won't do it that way, it would be a total cop out in terms of romantic destiny. To quote Robin: "That's not Ted Mosby."

These theories are all so interesting.Here are my views:I don't believe the mother is Robin. I believe it's possible, in the following sort of scenario: Ted goes through all of his life lessons and then suddenly realizes Robin really is the one. And the following scene goes on:Kids: Wait... so you mean we met mom at the beginning of the story, and you made us sit here through all of this?!Older Ted: But see, kids, I didn't really MEET her until I was ready to see that she was the one...Kids: *groan* and walk awayBut they'd have to change names a lot, and honestly, I hope it's not Robin. Because I don't want it to be.I really want Barney and Robin to end up together, and I think that they might. The chances are pretty good. But I doubt that they ever have children, even if they do end up together. They could just get married and continue on with their jobs and travel a lot (since Robin loves to and Barney has the money). That would make me happy.

The point is, maybe ted does end up happily married and lives happily ever after, but in today's society that's really not too realistic. Most shows end up the same way and i think that craig and carter wouldn't choose to follow the norm (w/television). Maybe i'm wrong, but that's my own opinion; it's not something to debate about.

The thought never crossed my mind until i decoded a clue on the site tedmosbyisajerk.com. There's a song that plays (it's like 20 min long) but at the end there's a garbled man's voice saying something. If you play it backwards it says: Wendy the Waitress is the mother of the goat.
