I personally would love that...it would tie everything together, and like you said make room for Barnman/Robin ;)<br /><br />As of right now I can't think of anything that would disprove that theory.,.but of course the HIMYM wheels in my head are always spinning. I'll let you know if I think of anything to contradict that, but until then, let's go with that theory! Ted & Carly FTW :)TheTVRefereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207010853564340163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246685819972064110.post-30391530744193847952011-05-20T09:05:45.360-07:002011-05-20T09:05:45.360-07:00Ok I have been thinking of the Robin/Barney/HIMYM ...Ok I have been thinking of the Robin/Barney/HIMYM wedding and the idea of the Mother being Barney's half sister has dug into my brain and just refuses to let go. I think I have a theory . . . oh I have so many theories . . . ha! <br /><br />I really believe that the mother could be Barney’s half sister and here’s why. Jerry tells Barney she's in college, doesn’t say where, Rachel meets Ted outside of his class, the "Mother" was in the Econ class at the same college, the mother was also at the St Patty's Day party, so she's in town. The mother/roommate could totally be Barney's half sister. <br /><br />She'd be removed enough from Barney not to be odd for Ted. That also opens the door for it to be Robin :0) which is what this Barnman/Robin lover wants!

We really have to figure out a way to flip this around so it can still be Robin. i'm afraid however that ship sailed last night. I saw the conversation with them on the sidewalk as the end. I liked the way they ended it though. <br /><br />So now the question becomes is it Nora or did Barney screw that up! I love how everyone can't believe that it's Barney's wedding, a friend at work is shocked that it's him and still dosen't think it's him. However this year has been all about Barney's changing of the ways if you will. He's shifting into a different person and the struggle between what he's always been and where he'd like to go will be fun and awesome to watch. Must leave now have to read what you wrote about Castle! So sad I found that show so late in my life! :-) ha!beaslmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07582545436760050027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246685819972064110.post-14420383610977649902011-05-17T17:30:07.830-07:002011-05-17T17:30:07.830-07:00Good points!

I understand why people might be skeptical of it being Barney & Robin because like you said "Why wouldn't Ted have already met the mother prior to the wedding?" But like you also said, it could be a friend from Canada. I mean for quite awhile Ted was dating Robin and didn't even know she was a Canadian pop-star. There seem to be a lot of things the gang doesn't know about Robin's life in Canada, so anything is possible.<br /><br />Still though considering the mother is the roommate of Rachel Bilson's character one might wonder "Why would this person come over from Canada...and never make a effort to see Robin?" Yeah I don't know...I'll have to think about it a bit more haha.<br /><br />Also that makes me happy that you thought of me once the episode ended :) And you wondering if I was still going to be alive after Castle...hahahaha (by the way...post coming for that soon...mind is still reeling)TheTVRefereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207010853564340163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246685819972064110.post-48394754797222471892011-05-17T13:55:12.151-07:002011-05-17T13:55:12.151-07:00Now before you kill me, you know how I love me som...Now before you kill me, you know how I love me some Barney/Robin and while I called that it was Barney’s wedding well before the show started (need I references my tweet to you?! Ha!) I have since decided that the wedding with Barney (which is both fantastic and awesome and can’t wait to “attend”) will alas not be with Robin. Here’s my theory, oh I have so many theories, Ted “meets” the mother – oh and how awesome was the kids that’s how I met your mother psych moment – at Barney’s wedding to “lady to be named later”. Now unless the “mother” is a friend of Robin’s from Canada who came for the wedding or a relative of either her or Barney’s wouldn’t Ted meet her prior to the wedding? Especially if Ted and Robin are still living together. OH MY GOD what if it’s Barney’s older-half sister? Sorry that just jumped into my think tank. <br /><br />The episode was great. I too was afraid I had built it up way to much in my head for it to be anything other than a disappointment. However they walked up to the plate and hit it out of the park, as they usually do. Many things were set up for next season, which I understand btw will be Robin centric. I loved that Ted got to push the button, I loved that he was tacked (after it was posted as a teaser for the show that was my cell phone wallpaper all day), I loved Dave Foley being in the episode, and like you when the car pulled up I clapped and yelled Ranjit! I love that Barney seems to have him on speed dial, and he always shows up.<br /><br />I have to say I like Nora I like Robin more, but I think she can challenge Barney and work him towards the “lifestyle change” that they have been setting up all year long. He’s definitely been moving towards something since he let her walk out of his life earlier this season, and I can’t wait to watch it. How awesome is NPH!? I mean really?<br /><br />PS the first thoughts in my head after watching the episode was I wonder what you thought of it, and after Castle I wondered if you were still alive, glad to see you made it though, I’m hoping Becket did too but that’s another posting for another day. . . .sigh it’s gonna be a long summer!beaslmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07582545436760050027noreply@blogger.com
