Episode Discussion S09E16 - "How Your Mother Met Me" (Here be spoilers!)

She hesitated, but when Ted ask her to marry her she didn't even let him finish. It makes the scene even better.

People seem to be interpreting the mother saying no to Louis as she is not over her dead boyfriend. I see it as the exact opposite, it is her finally getting over him. She has been with Louis for a while knowing that she's not in love with him but if she ends it then she's alone again and has to open herself up to the possibility of love with someone else. When he proposes, she knows that she can't say yes and stay with him forever because she wants love. So she says goodbye to Max and tells him no. Finally making herself available to fall in love again, just in time to meet a guy who's finally given up the girl he's been in love with for nine years.

THE NAKED MAN KNOWS THE MOTHER

So he walked past her in a dress? Oh god...

The Mother talking to Max... This is heartbreaking...

Six! Six broken proposals in this show!

edit:no numerals.

I think I'm in love with her.

I must say that Curtis is a true bro. When the mother asks for a room, he knows that the room he gave her is the best room because of his lonely friend Ted. I fucking love this season. Going to be really sad when it's all over :(.

DAMMIT TED, SHE'S RIGHT THERE.

Ted meets Robin the exact night that the Mother loses her boyfriend. Therefore, they both have this lingering person who they can't get over and therefore cannot fall in love with anyone else... that is... until they meet.

The Mother says Renaissance correctly, according to Ted.

ONE TASTY ENGLISH MUFFIN

Masturrrrring those games...

Save the Arcadian posters!! Loving the minor details!

The actress killed it with the scene of her talking to Max. It was a really good scene. Makes me wish I had seen them together.

That red dress on the mother's redhead friend. Oh. My. God.

SHE EVEN GETS PUZZLES! She's PERFECT

[removed]

That ending, you could see it in Ted's eyes; he finally felt Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz

So Ted fucked a shitload of women on the way to meeting his wife while his wife suffered a devastating heartbreak on the first episode and then had like one relationship right before meeting Ted. Such extremes...

That thing between The Mother and Cindy was stupid... sooooo stupid... ^{so stupid...}

I love everything about what they're doing here, but it's moving SOOOOO fast!

Also glad that they didn't just green screen her into scenes.

"Girl, I will sham-rock your world."

There's two bars!!

Well, now we know the mother isn't the one who picked up Lily...

"The mother of the bride never checked in."

NOOOOOOOO

NO LOUIS

THAT IS NOT NEXT WEEKS HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER CBS!!!

I feel like they're running down a checklist of the last 9 years of our lives.

If the whole HIMYM series went at that pace, it would have finished 6 years ago

Just stick your stupid head around the dam wall! COME ON!!

Who called her boyfriend was going to die? well played.

This is like the episode of LOST where you get the background on Jacob and the Smoke Monster.

No, god damn it CBS. You can't name the episode "How Your Mother Met Me", and have no one meet each other!

The Mother just needs to say encyclo-padia.

I don't know if anyone caught it but.... ROBIN IS SITTING RIGHT BEHIND THE MOTHER around 14 minutes and 30 seconds into the show. When it's zooming out you can see Robin's face when the camera is zooming out. (half her face) EDIT: http://i.imgur.com/jvI7y8I.jpg

Anyone else notice that they're playing the same music for the Mother breaking up with Louis that they played for Ted at the end of The Time Travelers?

The mother will be the 1 time it doesn't work out of 3

Wow this is beautiful, her singing.

Calling her name is Rose.

Whoever called Rachel Bilson's character falling for The Mother. GG
