I am writing this post before I see the first episode of the last season of How I Met Your Mother. The series was supposed to end last season but got renewed at the very last second so most of last seasons episodes are random, just like this clip that was played at comic con.
I think the writers have explored every avenue of ideas and zany antics and, of course, showed the "Mother" so there is not much left to write about, but here is what I think will happen this season....
Ted, the main character, will whine a lot, as usual, and this will probably take up about a quarter of the season, until he finally lets go, meets the mother and dates her until the series finale.
Marshall and Lilly will either have another baby or go through some other major drama like getting another job or moving back to the suburbs until it all resolves itself in the series finale.
Robin will get a new job and leave Barney until the series finale, where they reunite.
Barney will still be awesome....period.
Well, I'm sure that we've both seen the first episode by now, Austin. Maybe it isn't fair, since we've already seen the first episode, but this is what I think will happen:
ReplyDeleteTed, as you said, will whine and complain about everything, make a move on Robin, and mess up his relationship with Barney. Then, at the very end of the season, he'll meet the mother, make things right with Barney and Robin, and stay in New York and live happily ever. At least, this is what I hope will happen; this guy's been through eight years of hell solely for our amusement. He deserves to be happy.
Marshall and Lily, who were supposed to move to Italy, will not, because Marshall just got a job as a judge (but failed to tell Lily). They will get into a massive fight and Lily will leave temporarily, just like she always has. Lily isn't my favorite character on the show; if we had to vote one of the big five off the show, I would definitely choose her.
Barney and Robin will become more and more panicked about their wedding as the series progresses, until both of them eventually make a break for it, realize their endless love for one another, and then go back and get married. Aw, those darn kids.
And, based on the first episode, I have one last prediction. As you know, Barney has a gay black brother James (long story, for those of you who don't watch the show). James (SPOILER ALERT) is getting divorced from his husband Tom. What I think will happen is that James will realize he's bisexual and date the mother until the end of the season, at which point they'll break up and she'll be all Ted's.
What do you think of mine, Austin? You've probably changed yours as well, after the first episode. What do you think in general?
That is a creative idea, but I highly doubt the writers would have the mother date James rather than Barney
