The How I Met Your Mother Blog

These are some crazy-ass photos. Now of course I want to hear under what circumstances you guys think these photos will appear. What will the plotlines be that lead us here? I’ve supplied my theories along side the images below.

Where’s the new post button? What’s my admin password? What’s the website again? Oh yeah, I remember how to do this now…

Hey guys and gals, how’s your summer vacation so far? Having fun? How much fun? As much fun as it must be for Bays, Thomas, and the cast to be nominated for BEST EFFING COMEDY SERIES? (That’s the oft-forgotten full title of the award. True Story.)

It’s true, after years of shunning, HIMYM finally gets the nomination it deserves. I’m not going to lie, it’s up against some stiff competition. Nominees:

• How I Met Your Mother – Woot!
• Entourage – I’m a big fan, though I’m still pulling for HIMYM
• The Office – Past it’s peak, IMO, still good but not as good as it used to be.
• 30 Rock - Eh, it’s good, and it’s cool to love it, but I prefer HIMYM because it’s story AND funny.
• Weeds – Who cares. OK, a lot of people, just not me.
• Flight of the Conchords – Couldn’t get through this season. Too weird for its own good.
• Family Guy – Would be historic, which is cool, but still not as good as HIMYM

What do you guys think? Does it have a chance? I think so. What do you think? Oh yeah, NPH is hosting and it airs September 20 on CBS. Tune in! Or don’t, that shit is long and you can just read the winners on twitter (where you can follow me here.)

In honor of the upcoming finale and the promise that the show’s title will be addressed I think it’s worth rehashing some of the popular theories to see which are viable, which are debunked, and what we actually think is going to happen.

With the finale only weeks away, what do we suspect is going to happen? What role will the goat play? What developments with RoBarn will we see and what will happen with Ted and the future mom?

Let’s discuss what might be, what we hope will be, and what we don’t want to see.

I could sit down and write a recap that talked about how casually, and at the same time deftly, the writers work modern technology and culture into their humor, how it keeps the jokes fresh and the show as a whole agile and new. I could talk about the faceted story line that dealt with desire, empathy, pathos, cruelty, and bro-love. I could go on and on about how watching NPH and Jason Segel read off the NFL draft order would be funnier then anything Two and a Half Men could churn out.

Or…

I could tell the story of why tonight’s episode is special to me, and why I cannot review it unbiasedly. Yeah, that’s better.
