[...] Last night was the season finale of How I Met Your Mother, and the show’s protagonist Ted Mosby capped off the worst year of his life by deciding to shed his past identity as an architect who gets browbeaten by washcloth-obsessed goats–a leap that was replicated by Ted and his five friends jumping across their apparently very narrow side street, and on to the tricked-out deck of a neighbor. The song that soundtracked this mass Spider-Man impersonation was AC Newman’s “Prophets,” which appeared on the lead New Pornographer’s most recent solo album, Get Guilty. A live clip of that track after the jump. This has been something of a rough season, what with the Stella and the various tents that the two pregnant female leads have had to wear to hide their conditions, but last night I realized just how much I love this show. Although two things: first, I did think that the good vibes were going to be completely thrown off by the neighbors onto whose deck the five pals leapt coming outside and either calling the police or throwing a big hot-tub-centric party of their own; and second, under-22-minute running times for allegedly half-hour shows are just criminal. I know that networks have to keep their lights on too, but come on. The Leap [CBS.com] AC Newman [Official site] AC Newman, Prophets [YouTube] [Pic via have you met ted?] [...]

Is that the Empire State Building lit up in the background in the scene where everyone is taking the leap?

I'm almost sure Ted wont hook up with the mother of his kids in his class.

It makes me think about the No Tomorrow episode and the one with the reference to the Butterfly Effect(I think, you know what I mean). There is a whole build-up to meeting his wife, and you ,,wait for it" a long time, but it doesn't happen.

But I don't care, this show may last dozens of seasons if it were up to me. I LOVE HIMYM.

In this episode Robin is wearing the same necklace that Stella is wearing in the episode 23 (of this season). How weird is that ? Oo

Finale was really brilliant, opened a window of hope for both Ted and us viewers. Finally we are going to meet mother of How I Met Your Mother. I didnt like robin and barney kissing scene. Though i like them as pair, waiting for this to happen for long time. And Ted becoming professor got me thinking too about what i am planning for my life.

I have to admit, I let out a triumphant YES when it showed him in that classroom at the very end. Right when Stella's hubby brought up the possibility it all clicked for me and I was devistated when he turned it down so quickly. I automatically remember the flashback from seasons ago: "In fact, that ae together means that's it's pronounced encyclopAYdia." Perfect.

It was ok. It was a decent finale but it feels like ti needed more. A lot happened to TED and I didnt feel this was a amazing wrap up of that.

I still don't like this Barney and Robin thing… it seems really forced. I still never got why all these fans want it? There seems to be so much more they can do with those characters then having then get stuck in a one dimensional plot. But oh well.

I can't wait until next season… still one of the best written shows on TV.

Ookay, so season 4`s finale totally rocked my world! I mean – look at how mellow it was (in terms of revelations) and yet it all came together so well! I laughed SO hard at SO many moments! Marshall as a vampire! Mr Goat!! Sven!!! Ehh!!!!
I`ve also officialy became a top notch Robarn fan, because their scenes were awesome, cool, yet in character! Guys, they just talked about their feelings openly AND made an actual great scene out of it!
And Ted – good for this guy to finally turn his old self! About time I say, about time! No, seriously, I`m looking forward to Professor Mosby. And NO, Stella is absolutely NOT going to be in the Architecture class!! Not that I don`t like her, it`s just that the idea of not meeting the Mother yet is much better and more realistic.
So, yeah, gonna have to rewatch it a few (dozen) times!!
