The Mother Will be Revealed at the End of Season 4! Maybe…

Wow, it’s a big HIMYM news day. Apparently when Carter told me about what to expect from the goat this season he had just finished talking to EW and revealed quite an interesting tidbit:

How I Met Your Mother co-creator Carter Bays tells me that the sitcom’s central mystery is about to be solved. Or rather, resolved. At least kinda-sorta.

“At the end of the season, we will address the title of our show,” reveals Bays, adding that the last four episodes will feature “big events in the lives of our characters — specifically Ted (Josh Radnor). We’re going to wrap up some things that have been left dangling.”

Bays wouldn’t elaborate on the nature of the revelation (i.e. will the mom actually be ID’d?) or how it might figure into this season’s cliffhanger. “But I will say at the very least that the season will end with a complete sentence,” he teases. “We’ve left some sentence fragments dangling in past seasons, but this year, there will either be a period, a question mark or an exclamation point. We will be giving the audience that.”

Is Bays just messing with us after the 4-month wait between “legend” and “dary” that was the break between seasons 2 and 3? Will the mother actually be revealed? Whatever is coming, I’m glad that we’ll get some finite answers (or questions.)

We’ve got 9 episodes left, what do you guys think is going to happen?

    The television series "How I Met Your Mother" is among the best sitcoms out there, but it has the potential to be the BEST. IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHO IS CAST AS THE MOTHER. If she is not just perfect then the whole show sits in the "nose-bleeders" as far as quality programming goes. LUCKY FOR YOU THE PERFECT ACTRESS IS AVAILABLE. Linda Cardellini, star from ER and Freaks & Geeks, is PERFECT for the role. Watch her in Freaks & Geeks and discover just how perfectly natural she is for the most playfully beautiful romance on television. No other actress will give "How I Met Your Mother" the emotional climax that it deserves.
