    I thought this was a beautiful episode. What with Ted finally moving towards his dream of designing a building in New York, the Barney and Robin scenes and finally Lily getting pregnant.
    What I love most about this show, is how it can go from funny to emotional so suddenly and yet it works.
    Another great season of how I met you mother, with another great season finale. I can't wait for the next season!

    To answer the question of whether Marshal and Lilly will have a boy or a girl - it's going to be a boy. In the episode "last smoke ever" at the end it was said that Marshal didn't quit until his first son was born. It would be unacceptable if he kept smoking after having a girl but gave up after a boy. Thoughts about my theory?

    Nora's great, I like her but I still think it's going to be Barney and Robin. Robin and Barney are always sitting beside each other, in every flash back and every scene. It's just a lot of set up to lead to no where. They did mention that things weren't over with that shirt guy for Robin, so I'm wondering how this will play out.

    I was hoping it would be Barney and Robin's wedding but now it looks like it will be :D It can't be Nora. First of all, Nora wasn't there during the Meatball scene, which took place years and years into the future. If there's one thing I've learned from watching this show is that they plan everything out before hand. They have to. Also, Barney said he had already met the "right" girl, he was talking about Robin. They wouldn't bother setting this up if Robin and Barney weren't going to get back together. I think they're showing that most of the time couples shouldn't get back together but sometimes they can.

    I loved the "psych" moment. But I still don't think that Ted's going to marry a blonde women, that scene with Stella as the mother had the kids blonde. That probably means he married a brunette. Why else would he assume that marrying a blonde woman equals blonde kids?

    I was NOT expecting Lily to be pregnant. I should have guessed but I didn't, I was waiting for Marshall to th

    I think that hthe mother is Barney's step sister. When Barney first went to his fathers family they mentioned that they have a daughter who studies in college. Ted first said that the mother was present in the class which he entered by mistake & he meets the mother during Barney's wedding.

    @leik: sorry I understood "her" - must be a combination of my limited English and the Internet reception:-) I am not sure if my theory still makes sence then, and if Ted has already met Nora (I forgot that, too)... I don't like Nora anyway. She kind of reminds me of Madeline Zima if anyone knows what I mean... However, Ted has to meet his wife soon, cause when his daughter is 17 in 2030 he must at least meet the mother in 2012, and Ted seems to be a guy who would get to know that woman and get married before having a family.

    Robin and Barney HAVE to get married! it can't be Nora!

    I called Lily being pregnant pretty much as soon as she started throwing up! Such a sweet scene at the end with them.

    I hope Barney marries Nora, BR just DO NOT work at all, and we saw that in S5.

    I wonder if Robin saw someone/something behind Barney, maybe Don? And that explains her face? Because she smiled at first and then it changed, and I dont think she loves Barney that way anymore.

    If Robin and Barney were the ones who will get married, then for sure Lily will be Robin's Maid of Honor.. Am I right?

    ahhh that finale was amazing! I really wanna see what's next! Barney getting married took me COMPLETELY by surprise!( I thought that wedding that kept showing was from that friend of Ted...punchy-that's his name, right?)
    Lily and Marshall were adorable! Ted choosing flowers was the mosbiest this to do lol
    Barney and Robin were simply hilarious, cute and deep! I really hope he stays with her in the end, not nora(she's cute but nor robi)! They're different people than when they started dating, things can work out XD

    I'm getting good at pre-empting pregnancy reveals. The psych was great! I like Nora.

    I think barney will marry Robin because a- Nora would have to be promoted to a series regular unless she appeared every three episodes which would make her a pretty absent wife;
    and b) Robin's look at the end of the episode showed how she figured out she still misses barney; if they weren't getting back together what was their talk inside the cab for? To watch robin suffer untill she found a rebound guy that would last 2 weeks and then go right back being miserable? Now she doesn't ahve the dogs anymore...

    @Anne: Ted said he met the mother at a wedding, not her wedding or his. Also, Ted has met Nora. Agreed about Nora marrying Barney though, and the time line you proposed.

    I love how they editaded the end of the episode mixing both the arcadian and marshall and lily. It had a really beautiful meaning: the end of something old gives the chance to a start of something new.
    The arcadian died but soon there will be someone to fill in for him in New York; it doesn't matter that it's a person instead of a building infested with cockamouses. By the way where will they go?
    I knew even before watching this episode Lily would get pregnant: in mermaid theory they said lily was pregant the next year so if she was getting pregnant any time soon the finale would be the more convinient time to do it.

    I think Barney will marry Nora while Robin fights to win him back, so that Barney leaves her either at the altar or later. They rush into the marriage, so that's why Lilly doesn't look pregnant yet. And finally - Nora will be the mother of Teds children, because in Episode 6.1 he says that he first meets her on HER wedding day (with Barney), while they show that same scene as in episode 6.24. So teds future wife must be Barneys wife! So Barneys wife can't be Robin, because ted always refers to her as aunt Robin, and it must be a girl that Ted has never met before, which again favours the version where Barney marries Nora before Lilly looks pregnant!

  21. LettyGee

    I think Robin isn't the wife since in a pevious season Ted refered to Robin ex-bf and ex-coanchor as uncle Don, which seems to mean she will marry Don.

    however i might be wrong!

    robin and barney have to get married they are so perfect for each other!!! :D

    Now I realised that Lily wasn't pregnant at the wedding! So either she had the baby already or the wedding happens before we can see her stomac!

    What a nice way to end season 6. I can't wait to find out who Barney will marry. But, I'm in more hopes that it is Nora. We've seen how Robin and Barney as a couple had been. They loved each other but they just can't be together. As for Lily being pregnant, that has got to be the best thing that happened to Marshall. And it's really a blessing after the first half of 2011 was sucky to him. "And that's how I met your mother, PSYCH!" I was really mortified! :) Can't wait for season 7!

    I think Barney and Nora are cute together. She's really pretty, nice and doesn't take Barney's crap.

    I love the mini-montage of Ted's ex-girlfriends.

    Wow, Barney being the guy who gets married and not Punchy? Expectedly unexpected. I liked him and Robin going through their relationship and seeming genuinely over each other. Robin misses him more, obviously, but apparently acknowledges that it would be a bad idea for them to give it another go. Who knows, though, maybe they will get married after all.

    Lily's pregnant is another expectedly unexpected event. So..Marshall will have his last smoke two weeks after his son was born? I remember something along those lines. Anyway.

    When Ted said "and that's how I met your mother", I'm shamed to say I thought "wait, she's not pretty enough!" The extra was very pretty, beautiful even, but not enough to live up to the epic image of the Mother we've gotten over the years.
