So after watching HIMYM last night, I did some reading of an old interview with one of the creators/writers, old being from this past July :)
This quote kind of got to me thinking.
By the end of Season 7, Ted will wear suits and Barney’s hair will be spiky and messy.
Does that mean Ted is going to be a slut like Barney or does that mean Ted is going to be this really amazing guy that could get any woman he wants to? Maybe both?
And then this: We know exactly the ending minute or two of Season 7. It’s going to take place in the future at that wedding day and we’re going to end Season 7 there. It’s going to be something! And we’ll also end with a baby being born and then head into 8. And maybe there’ll be more.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I sort of want to met the future Mrs. Mosby, at least several episodes, if not a full season, before. Not to just know who she is, but actually get to know the character.
I want to see her rocking on her bass, I want to see her make Ted’s draw drop when she quotes passages from his favorite books, I want to see Ted shut up and the Future Mrs. Mosby still want to listen to him.
We have spent so many years leading up to finding out who she is, it would be nice to actually enjoy her as a character and to see why and how she was/is so amazing that Ted decides this is the ONE.
I know the show is called HOW I MET Your Mother, not How I Got To Know Your Mother, but I still would like for it to be both.
I agree with this so much. I had the hardest time getting into HIMYM in the first place because I couldn’t get past the hook of it being a story Ted was telling his kids. Now that we’re 7 seasons into the story, I’m starting to worry about how they’re delaying the “…and that’s how I met your mother” reveal.
Ted is telling his kids all these amazing stories about the crazy things he did with his friends in his late twenties/early thirties like they’re the best years of his life. If the writers wait until the last episode to introduce us to the mother, what does that say about how significant she is in Ted’s life? What does it imply if the story ends when he meets the woman he’s going to spend the rest of his life with? We’ve seen Ted change over the course of several long-term committed relationships at this point (although he always seems to bounce back to being exactly the same as he was before but that’s an essay for another time/place). Ted’s whole goal in life is to find a wife and get married. Every time he starts dating someone new he says “I think she’s the one”, and if we don’t get to see his relationship with her evolve the way we saw his relationship with Stella or Zoey or Robin evolve, what does that say about the woman he eventually marries? How are we supposed to believe that she’s any different if we don’t get to see what makes her so special to Ted?
I really hope we get to meet her before the series ends. We’ve followed Ted through so many failed relationships, if we don’t get to see what makes this one work, I think it’ll be a very unsatisfying conclusion. I hope they can find a way to include her in the story and let us get to know her as a character without giving away that she’s the mother until the last possible moment. But this is all speculation so…we shall see.

Chi McBride is best known for his role as Private Investigator Emerson Cod from Pushing Daisies, but more recently he scored the [potentially reoccurring] role of Rod, a construction worker for GNB in the season 6 finale of How I Met Your Mother.
You guys have no idea how excited I was when I spotted this. I miss Cod’s fancy sweaters though. :( RIP Pushing Daisies.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln4iwgnDSC1qgjvrso1_1280.png)
