How I Met Your Mother flash forward

One year later...Still hanging out with 'Aunt' Robin.

Sean Walsh...

Well, they did basically say in the first episode that she wasn't the
mother.

Obveeus...

Which means that if he is hanging out with her a year later, this is
intended to be a really long story. The whiny brats that *need* to knowe
who the mother is can just turn off the TVs now.

I've always liked the idea of the main romantic squeeze for Ted not
being "the mother" since the start.

I've got this feeling that they're broken up by that wedding, too, but

Mark Nobles...

Nice catch.

are still friends.

Obveeus...

I got that feeling too. We saw the married couple and we saw Ted with
Robin. Something about it made it look like 'old friends dancing', not
lovers. Still, it means that he didn't take a new love to the wedding...a
sign that nothing permanent is on the horizon.

David Levy...

She's not the mother. Let it go.

Obveeus...

Didn't say she was. Let it go.

David Levy...

Oh, that's right. Your theory is that Ted "purchased" his kids from a
surrogate and they don't know who their mother is.

Beowulfie...

Ok, I've only watched a few episodes, but is Ted actually the father? I

David Levy...

Yes. The kids have addressed him as "Dad."

mean, How I Met Your Mother could mean many things.
