At least one more after this. They are under contract for an 8th. And the ratings are still strong for the show, so it isn't going anywhere.

Yeah, the ducky tie basically means Barney's wedding can't be any time before the end of this season, since the bet was for him to wear it for a year. They comment on it in 7x01. "At least it's not the ducky tie".

Except that during Ep. 11 of Season 6, Lily is PREGNANT in it, and seeing how Barney gets married AFTER she's given birth to the baby, there had to be some way for him to get rid of the Duckie Tie.
@fisheyes- Hah good point.

Exactly. But I really do hope they end it soon.

They can easily have Barney and Marshall enter some other bet where Barney gets to remove it, or maybe Marshall gives him time off.

When is Jason Segel leaving, is it after this one or the 8th one?

Isn't Jason Segel leaving after next season anyway?

Hahaha just found this interview:

In an interview with GQ, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star and scribe explained how he is still under contract for a sixth, seventh and eighth season of How I Met Your Mother, which is really more than he — or his character, Marshall — can handle:

“…When your idol is Peter Sellers, playing one character for eight years isn’t what you’re trying to do. I don’t really feel like I have that much more to offer with this character. Maybe if we got divorced or something — but that’s not gonna happen. It’s gonna be some iteration of, like, my TV wife opens the fridge, and she’s like, “What happened to the birthday cake?” And I walk in with a little frosting here [points to corner of mouth] like, “What birthday cake?”

So does Segel even care about the eventual How I Met Your Mother conclusion?

“I had two other suggestions [about how the writers should end the series]. One is that they’re dead. The two kids and their father — they’re dead, and they’re in purgatory, and he’s telling the story for eternity. […] And then my other suggestion, which they never used, which I think would be so funny, is — it’s the future, right? I think in one of those scenes, they should open the window, and it should be, like, a postapocalyptic wasteland outside. It should be like I Am Legend. Horrible mutants.”

I liked his other suggestion of the mother being dead, and Ted telling the kids about the mother they never knew.

I still prefer lone_prodigy's idea:
Marshall and Lily is the happy marriage he never had. Barney is the womanizer Ted wishes he could be. Robin represents all the girls who friendzoned him.

Couple with my idea that Ted is in an insane assylum and that the kids and mother never existed and he's there because he never had the relationship he had always wanted so his subconscious created a reality for him.

About the Fallout ending. Ted should be in some vault with this kids and when the series is finally done they should pan away, like in the game, out from the vault and into the wasteland. The whole series would then be about Ted reminiscing on a simpler time, before the nuclear WWIII.

I support any ending that that cant be predicted. Friends had such a boring cliché ending that everyone and their mother saw coming years ago

Here's my prediction:

The story is all in Ted's head when he first meets Robin. After he finishes the story it cuts back to him approaching Robin... which in turn sets all the events of the show. The show ends with Ted saying, "Yeah, that'll be a great story to tell my kids".

I liked last episode... Well I at least liked a lot of the jokes. I prefer when Marshall is on Ted's side. I also liked all of the ways Barney got with chicks. The pictures at the end were awesome too.

Can't say i liked the new episode very much, but I chuckled at the Friday Night Lights reference and season 2 burn.

Did anyone else pick up on the song that the office party was singing after Marshall met with his boss?
It was the song the Ewoks sang after the Death Star was destroyed

Pretty cool!

I liked the fish joke throwback with Marshall. I actually predicted/figured they were gonna do it when I saw the fish on the chart and him being all awkward.

Wasn't a bad episode, but wasn't a great episode. Definitely weakest of the season so far, although I always enjoy Kal Penn.

I now hate this writing crew for that burn. The back half of Season 2 is quality television dammit!

I also like how they did the reference to Robin's "tell" when lying.

Marshall and Ted are definitely supposed to be on the Ewok loving side of the line. In [some episode] Marshall asks Ted about [whatever girl it is]'s opinion on Ewoks, and Marshall questions why the Ewoks get such a bad wrap, the empire wouldn't have fallen without them. Or something.

God damn this series loves its Star Wars.

You know, that line gave me an odd vibe. Reminded me of all you loonies talking about Ted being in a fallout shelter and shit. Hahaha.

I think yesterday's episode confirmed Nora and Barney breaking up. The "call me from Vegas" line and the shocked Barney from when Marshall won at a casino. Bummer I liked Nora =(

This show has psyched us out before. It could've been something like "Robin is marrying Kal Penn", thus Barney's shock. Or maybe Nora threatens to break up with him.

And btw, I hope Kal Penn sticks around on the show. I love the guy. Him and NPH clearly have a solid friendship, I'm sure that's how he got the gig on the show. Heh.

I thought the best episode this season was the one with Barney doing the Asian cooking thing to see Lilys boobs.

The other 4 episodes have been pretty meh.

I would agree with that. I did love the Friday Night Lights line in this past episode. "First off: you can skip season 2." :lol
