Wait a sec... does this mean Marshall could be the officiant of the wedding?

CF5300

That's what I was thinking

source24designs

Perfect time for another one of these

IM_FANTASTIC_LIKE

that would be perfect

I think it'd be better if Ted did it. Sure he doesn't have the credentials but the symbolism behind Ted finally letting robin go as he marries her to Barney is too good to pass up.

mafeumatty

I'd prefer the theory that I read here a while ago, that Robin's father doesn't turn up in time, so Ted walks Robin down the aisle, and literally hands over Robin to Barney.

_Pikachu_

I think that would be super weird to be honest. Robin doesn't belong to Ted to give away

Great flashbacks to the earlier season.

NeonBlizzard

Yeah, you just know she likes it dirty.

       - Barney, Marshall

So does this mean that Marshall officiates the wedding because he is a judge and the Reverend is dead?

hoodie92

I feel like accepting the job position doesn't automatically make you a qualified judge...

StarManta

In TV land it does.

JerseyScarletPirate

Also, judges are actually legislators in TV land.

BlisterKirby

The reverend died, dead character confirmed!

The knight's pun actually gave me a good chuckle.

WEDDING AT BERNIES!

It'll go good with the ring bear.

Ring bearer, right?

Right, ring bear.

Happy to see some movement in the Marshall and Lily job storyline. Seemed to have been glossed over so far.

hoodie92

Everything seems glossed over to me. They are doing an entire season as a weekend, for fuck's sake. Every side-story is overblown (like Robin and Loretta's beef from last week) and every main story is watered down to the point where we get one plot development in every three episodes rather than three plot developments per episode.

Giving up peeing in the shower. Much respect to Marshall.

Raktoner

Speculation for next week: Lily is relieved they're not moving to Rome, because she was actually terrified on the inside of just dropping everything and leaving.

MrKentucky

Haven't they done something similar with Marshall and Lily issues in the past?

Be careful, Ted. She is crazy.

[deleted]

Ya like "destroy your kind" crazy. and she has a tendency to turn a straight guy. Be careful 'even more'

Loved how "B. Stinson / T. Mosby" was on the dorm room whiteboard in the fake flashback!

Yep, Anna Camp. She's also in True Blood

How is Marshall still not at the wedding?

azizinator25

The last 4 episodes have spanned like 7 hours. It's about an 18+ hours from Minnesota to Long Island

TheGifGoddess

Uuuuuggggghhhh

pucykoks

We may actually get to Saturday next week. However, it's 9 pm, they may want to do some 'nothing good happens after 2 a.m.'.

I also read somewhere that Segel needed more time for other projects, so he didn't want to shoot the whole season at the wedding. Shooting a car surrounded by blue screens takes much less time than shooting with the entire wedding.

why even bother making the mother a main character if she has less lines than the sassy black lady?

fco83

That irritates me as well. I dont need to see her rushed into meeting ted necessarily, but i want to get to know her. Give her the minor storyline in some of these episodes.

majeric

They really need a "How i met your father" episode or two.

Get ready to have the cliffhanger ruined by "Next week on HIMYM!"

meagharino

I say she didn't actually text lily but marshall is going to spill it all out in an apology anyways

Sgt_Pepper91

Stealing their story actually does seem like something Barney and Robin would do. They love lying and whatnot! :)

[deleted]

Ahah the text message is plot movement!

moelester518

Anna camp is beautiful. Hoping to shes good.

Saw cristin millotis name in the credits though.

tabatchoy

Cristin Milioti's name was in the credits of the last episode as well.

Wedding at Bernies!

All of the references are so good.

Haha Daphne makes a great Lily.

the Sherri Shepherd voiceover is creeping me out

azizinator25

Come on, they showed a flashback to the Farhampton train station, but they can't even show the mothers face?! Come on!

adamb10

Probobly because that scene was cut from the one earlier in the series.

Zahand

Probably because that wasn't Cristin Milioti

[deleted]

They chose... poorly.

Did anyone else see the girl in the see through dress? You could most defiantly see her thong.

Every week I've come here to say that I was disappointed with tonight's episode. I'm not sure if its just in comparison to the poor recent episode or this one actually stands on its own, but I thought this episode was a lot better. Actually funny, and it at least advances some of the season 8 cliff hangers. If every episode has little small moments that drove the plot along it would be a much better season. Here is hoping this is how the rest of the episodes are.

thekotoz

What about Barney knowing about Ted and Robin at the carousel? Or the Robin/Loretta conflict? How are these not plot movements?

[deleted]

The Robin Loretta conflict was filler pain and simple

Drinking. She's been drinking drugs.

Oh good, Ted's not gonna be a scumbag!

Sgt_Pepper91

WHY DID THEY PROMISE US THAT THE MOTHER WOULD BE A MAIN CHARACTER GAWD

thekotoz

No, they said Season Regular.

[deleted]

I have bowel movements that are more regular at this point

thekotoz

Just because it's more regular, doesn't mean it's not just complete shit.

I think the season will pick up near the midseason finale like last season did. I fully expect the Mother to be in every episode after sweeps and such.

este_hombre

Maybe Sassy Black Lady IS the mother.

Anyone else think that the girl that shows up at the end (the blonde one) Looks exactly like a blonde Cristin Milloti? Need to watch it again, but I remember being caught off guard by it

solo_dolo_

I miss them sitting in the bar so much..

Sgt_Pepper91

You chose... poorly. Oh no! Obviously, that's not the mother

idiomsavant364

Do you wanna start the night with meaningless sex and then flirt later?

Sgt_Pepper91

Thou shalt not lie! ...with fat chicks? omg this episode is hilarious!

Raktoner

Wow I'm totally.....twisty metal thingy?

dancas91

I was very skeptical of the Marshall/Daphne thing thus far, but love being proven wrong at its potential in this episode.

thesmallprint13

anna camp apparently going to guest star tonight, can't wait! the plot, in the snippet that's been revealed so far, does seem a bit fillerish, hope they prove me wrong!
