Storyline

Ted is telling his children about a series of seemingly unrelated events that took place in 2009 all at around the same time: Robin getting food poisoning and vomiting on air; Barney miscalculating that a Czech super model will be his two hundredth sex partner; and Marshall overusing poster sized charts he has made up by the graphics department at GNB. Why is he telling them these stories in combination? Because they all led to him standing on a certain street corner at a certain time which resulted in him meeting their mother.

Goofs

During Marshall's presentation at the bar, he mentions Barney's 16 years of sexual activity. In How I Met Your Mother: The Yips Barney mentions losing his virginity at age 23 to Rhonda. This would make Ted 31 while Barney is 39, much older than he is portrayed.

THE best episode of how i met your mother...of ALL time

I must say.. this has got to be THE best episode of how i met your mother.. i must say the beginning kept me in suspense.. and never could we guess that the "mother" was actually Stella... for episode after episode..season after season...they've finally revealed who the mother was... and of course in touching Ted Mosby fashion..Does this mean that the show is ending its run soon?That is what i though..the questioned title of the series has been answered at last. It was a really touching episode..for me and im sure ALL of the how i met your mother fan base. And you think that's the end of it?During the closing,with Barney Stinson pondering about his 200th love conquest..Robin shows up and he looks at her like...i hv no word or adjective to describe his body language.just superb sitcom writing..
