I am unfortunatly disappointed by this finale. I thought we'd have a hint regarding the mother's identidy, but we don't. It was pointless to bring Victoria back as we know it's not her anyway. Ted has not met the mother yet, and there should be a link with the pink umbrella that I was waiting for already in this episode.
About the rest, Barney and Robin ? For me it doesn't make sense, Quinn suited Barney better. Anyway, it seems that wedding is gonna go wrong then ?

Ted is suppose to meet the mom at Barneys wedding, so it's not victoria. As for Robin and Barney. YES YES YES! I hope it's really true and the premier does not mess with it.

Oh - and I can't believe no one's mentioned the baby's name. Marvin Waitforit Eriksen. COOLEST baby middle name ever!!!

I'm not in the least surprised that Robin was Barney's bride. I'm quite glad about it - I think they make sense.
As for Ted - I'm going to have to believe that next season starts with him turning the car around and taking Victoria back to her wedding. Cause I don't like how this ended - at all.
Seriously - how much longer is it going to take for us to meet this guy's wife?

I'm trilled :))) best finale ever. Barney and Robin are meant to be! I don't care if this was just a trick or if Barney's first marrying someone else...in the end it will be Robin! And maybe they don't even marry but it won't matter because both of them can't stop thinking about each other! So I'm happy with that ;)

I'm actually disappointed it's Robin. 1st. because it means that in order for us to finally meet the mother, we have to see Quinn and Barney break-up and him and Robin get back together, engaged, and married-that's going to take a while. 2ndly that means Barney's never going to have kids. But at least Barnman isn't marrying Victoria, for a minute there, I really thought that's where the episode was headed. I think Ted will end up with Barney's once mentioned, but never seen half-sister, who was at collage in NY, during the episode with his half-brother.

Anyone remember when Future Ted first said he loves the Mother, the cinema in the background was showing The Wedding Bride 3? Well Ted essentially pulled off the wedding bride 2 now..what if something similar happened again at Barney's wedding? That could be what Ted means by the wedding going horribly wrong...maybe someone show up and spoil the wedding? And since it is where Ted meets his wife..it is only natural for them to go watch the movie about the day they met....

The mother definitely can NOT be Victoria. The mother was in Ted's class the day he was teaching the wrong class. Victoria would have recognized Ted if she was in that class.

Good except I thought they said Barney and Robin were over and the Ted/Victoria storyline apart from the figuring out if she's engaged part.

@duckie192 wow I never even thought of that. They could be doing cuts between scenes I mean when Lily says the bride needs you maybe he saw the bride but was also seeing Robin as a potential second bride for a different wedding. I too beleive its unlikely but still possible. Otherwise I have to say that it being Robin was the most obvious thing since the beginning of last season which doesnt look good on the writers because then its like wow it took you two seasons to get there making it clear the show should be coming to an end. We know that there is still that one potential guy that Robin liked from the episode hopeless last season, hopefully they didnt forget about him because we didnt see him at all this season. I just feel like next season will be a rehash of this one with Robin and Barney though since they spent all season trying to get together and then it didnt happen and now it seems like that is what next season will be again :(.

Should't they have told us the name of the Mom this time around!? wan't that the epic NEWS from the final!
I like Victoria, but there story is getting boring! Hopefully she breaks his heart this time around! :D xOxO! ;)

Yay!!Barney and Robin!!!

Ted supposedly met the mother at Barney's wedding though so it can't be Victoria
May 15th, 2012 12:56 AM
Yes, Ted met Victoria at a wedding, but we also know that she was Cindy's roommate, and that she was in Ted's (wrong) class. It would be extremely hard to explain how Victoria was both of those. Also, I love that Robin and Barney end up together. Throughout the whole episode I was almost positive it was going to be Robin, until Barney proposed to Quinn, but I was kind of shocked when they showed it to be Robin in the end. Also...Waitforit is the coolest middle name ever!

i really just hope that it is both Robin and Barney getting married on that day...... BUT not to each other. (i.e Barney to Quinn and Robin to...someone else?).
i know that the likelihood of that being the case would be slim and minimal, but part of me wants it to be true.(although the likelihood of that too, is slim due to Becki Newton being cast in that new sitcom on FOX)
the feeling of the relationships within the gang have run its course and it wasn't a big shocker in the last scene where Robin being a bride showed. if anything, it was painfully obvious. That being said, i'm still tuning in next season... and hoping that Bays and Thomas being the amazing, misdirection creating writers that they are, will be able to make something special happen.
at the end of the day, however, it is still the journey which has been special; the story of how someone who took EIGHT years to tell his children how he met their mother, and it being totally worth it.

The mother was also in his first class when he was a professor, I don't think victoria was

The whole end scene with Victoria threw me through a loop! Just as the first two comments on this review (and from what all of us know) Ted meets the "mother" at the wedding. Which means its impossible to have the "mother" be Victoria. So why would the writers even have this scene? Hopefully we get some answers next season. Otherwise loved the episode and the fact that Barney marries Robin I was really hope they would. Barney has been in love with her for a few seasons now and they are totally perfect for each other

@latinalover I am around the same as you that is why I agree that Barney and Robin was obviously what it was going to be at the start of season 6 and after two seasons it all led to that without any really surprise which is annoying but like I said they butchered Nora who was awesome and then Quinn was a great character who they obviously only meant to be there for a bit since she is on a new show next season.
May 14th, 2012 11:40 PM
@RajBauer i am looking at the series seriously 10 times now.
May 14th, 2012 11:37 PM
@Lalalala the writers didnt pull a sleight of hand by saying the day he met his wife was at a wedding and then show the church barney is getting married at for no reason. They meant that specific wedding go back and watch the episode and you will see. Trust I have seen this show way to many times to be wrong about that.
May 14th, 2012 11:33 PM
@Lalalala but that is stupid then because if victoria was the mother then we (the fans) have wasted years of our life finding out who is the mother is then to find out we knew the mother back in season 1.
May 14th, 2012 11:30 PM
me and ALOT of people hate that robin is the bride. i mean come on why robin? i thought producer said that barney and robin relationship pretty much with?
as much i like victoria but i don't want her to be the mother.

Actually, Ted said he met the mother at A wedding. Which is where he met Victoria
May 14th, 2012 11:14 PM
Hated that Robin turned out to be the wife because it was clear from the beginning of last season that was most likely going to happen. I was rooting for Quinn after they butchered Nora and now Quinn gave up her career for Barney too. Man he loves to ruin women who love him. Cant say I am shocked though because unfortunately Fox revealed their new sitcom by carter bays and craig thomas which starts the actress playing Quinn so it was pretty deadset he was going to end up with Robin since Quinn was obviously not sticking around. And the Victoria thing sucks to because he told her how awful it was getting left at the alter and then he went ahead and ignored that and ran off with her and we know she isnt the wife either because we KNOW TED MEETS HER AT THE WEDDING as was said at the start of season 6. So none of this really amounted to anything. Loved the first half, but the endings of the second episode took finale away from perfect to just ok. At least it was a step up from last seasons
