Oh wow. Last night's HIMYM was just superlative (I'm trying to use more words...there are only so many times you can write 'fantastic' 'great' 'so funny' 'amazing' etc, so be prepared for some experimentation)!
We all know how I love NPH, but you'll have to back me up on the fact that every episode that has a Barney-centric storyline is way funnier than the ones that don't. 200 people is definitely too many people to have slept with, but I agreed with Barney in noticing that Robin was 'surprisingly quiet on the subject of numbers' or something like that. There was no judgment coming from her, she was just poring over the list and calling out his errors (I wonder what number she was?).
Barney is so definitely the guy who holds a grudge from 7th grade and then calls the guy when he finally 'wins'. The way the guy went from happy to be seeing Barney again to moderately horrified was excellent.
Also excellent were Marshall's charts. And we come back to the thing I love most about this show. Bringing back things from past episodes. The interventions! Barney's 'investments' at the gym! Yes!
Marshall's reaction when he first met the lady from graphics and she told him he could get any graphics of any kind, as many as he wanted, whenever he wanted was classic. Who WOULDN'T start having charts made for everything? I know I would. The business meeting where everyone looked almost as sick of Marshall's charts as Ted, Barney and Robin until he mentioned it would keep them out of jail was pretty great, and Ted having to agree to pay the homeless man $1 a day for 27,000 years to get the charts back was hilarious.
And now we reach the part of the episode with which I have a little beef. We see the yellow umbrella, yay! We see the back story of why Ted did everything he did that day, yay!
- quick aside, how much did I love Robin throwing up and telling everyone it was because she was pregnant (which she is in real life) but then it was a joke. It was a lot. It really doesn't take much to entertain me. -
And then, then they tease us with who is under the blue umbrella. All episode long it's a tease. I was getting all excited, trying to think over all of Ted's past girlfriends (anyone else really hoping it was Victoria?) and it turns out to be Stella. She of the evil leaving at the altar when she tried to get married at a scary vegan yoga resort.
Now I'll tell you why I only have a small amount of beef with this. I still don't think she's the mom. I don't think the show would do that to us. Our Ted would never end up with someone who treated him so, so wrong. No, I'm sure that this will turn out to be some sort of wonderful closure for Ted on that relationship (which, aside from avoiding her at a Thai restaurant once he never really got) and he will finally move on and be ready to meet his wife. Finally. Hopefully next season.
Only one episode left! I hope it's a good one!

i'm sorry but i thinks it's her. they said she was a t a st. Patricks day party. the last tiome stella was a t a party was St. Particks day. but ur right the character sucks
Is sarah chalke going to end up being the mom????
I hope it is since scrubs in ending..adding another huge star to the cast would be incridible and pick up alot of new watchers and scrubs fans...
Maybe it's not her.... just a wonerful closer as you said and then next episode goes on the same day and we really meet the Mom... no idea... we wil see next week!
I don't think Stella's the mother, since I'm pretty sure she runs into Ted WITH what's-his-face, her ex-boyfriend/husband/fiance (is it Tony?).
One comment and a question:
I think there are two episodes left, not one.
and:
How in the HELL has this not been picked up yet for a fifth season?!
I read a quote in Entertainment Weekly from someone who works on the show that said "By the end of the season, we will address the title of the show." So I don't think you'll have to wait until next season for the answer.
