I've been excited for this episode ever since it was announced. We'd finally get some insight on the Mother's life, and find out who she truly is.
This episode, I felt, lacked in comedy, but not in a bad way at all. It was so focused on the story and the character of the Mother that they forgot they were writing for a comedy. This is how I also felt about the majority of the last season of The Office.
I've been unsure about the Mother this entire season, but this episode depleted all doubts about her. She's beautiful and hilarious and so down-to-earth. I love how for once they didn't portray love as this easy-to-come-by thing, how they showed that when you truly fall in love, it's not an easy thing to get over.
This episode did well in tying together Ted and the Mother's lives, how, in a sense, they both affected one another, but yet never even knew of each other's existence.
Season 9 has had some negative reviews and received some doubts, but I knew that if I waited it out patiently, it'd be worth it, and look at these past two episodes, both are filled with raw emotion and incredible story-telling.
I've heard rumors about a spin-off called How I Met Your Father. Despite the fact that they kind of just summarized what the whole series would be, I wouldn't mind watching a series focusing around the Mother.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
Well done, HIMYM. Keep it up.
