btw..Victoria is not attractive at all.

Why did people start thinking it would be barney's sister? Where did that even come from? She's been mentioned what, twice?

---

-Occasionally mentioned but still unseen.
-Barney's wedding is a big factor in Ted marrying her (they meet there?)
-"Aunt Robin" would actually be Aunt Robin in the technical sense, and not just a nickname, if Barney marries Robin and Ted marries Barney's sister.
-She's in college. The mother was apparently in one of Ted's classrooms.
-Probably some more clues I forgot about.

Orlando, if that was your theory then props to you. Not sure if you came up with it by yourself, but I agree 100% the mother will be Barneys sister no doubt about it.

yup, i think myself and one other poster called this in last years HIMYM thread.

Barney has a sister? Who is she? Has she been on the show or just talked about?

just saw this...

I should try reading before posting.

Was the ****ty Pumpkin from S1 completely ruled out as the mother? She's showing up at Halloween, and I'm not a fan of who they cast.

me and Orlando....I think I was first though.....

Spoiler???

The episode today was insanely funny.

Classic tonight

Tonight was one of the best episodes in a long time. It felt like HIMYM from years ago.

Thought the same thing and couldn't remember if it was just a short memory since the season just started, or if that felt like a S2or3 ep.

If there was any doubt left about Barney and Robin, it is now gone.

Solid Episode!

BANG BANG BANGIGITY BANG I SAID A BANG BANG

Great episode, Barney was awesomely evil. And he had a good point, Lily's pregnant boobies looked great! Even though is extremely queso, Ted's part with Victoria was done well, and like I've been saying, Victoria is and always will be my favorite.
It was funny when Ted said he ran into some from my past, and everyone starts rattling off Ted's old flings. The sneeze conditioning of Marshall was just genius.
Robin looks awful, who ever said she looks like a hipster, you are correct.

That really was one of the better episodes in years. It had a good mix of flash back storytelling, witty writing, unexpected twists that were being set up from the first scene, Barney being awesome, Victoria who is hot, a story that advanced the plot and eliminated an ex, boob talk, negotiations, a new running gag with Barney in the ducky tie…

I hope this season continues down this path…

It comes as no surprise that Carter Bays and Craig Thomas wrote The Ducky Tie

Nails!

Robin throwing crackers into the duck's mouth.

I loved the small little details like when lily was flashing Barney, Marshall was reaching to cover Teds eyes. The look on Teds face was priceless. He was trying so hard to see!

Such a great episode! Proves they can still do it. All the little continuity gags are what make the show great.

Barney is so awesome.

I have never seen anything so white as Lily's stomach when she lifted her shirt.

Best episode in a long time #burn #ducktieslams #stinsonrocks

The continuity gags are what makes this show what it is.

I was really hoping they were bringing Victoria back because she was the mother. Oh well...

I'm not sure how they would have fit her into all the clues they've given thus far.

Ya I know. At first when I saw her again all I thought was that Ted met the mom at a wedding then I remembered he met Victoria at a wedding. I got excited and forgot about the details of which wedding and all the other clues.

She was by far my favorite girlfriend/date of his.

Nailed it

This episode easily makes it into my top 3 HIMYM episodes. As a poster above mentioned, it was funny to hear the gang rattle off all of Ted's ex-girlfriends. However, the bit was a lot longer than what was aired. To watch the extended scene go here http://www.cbs.com/shows/how_i_met_your_mother/video/2140164888/how-i-met-your-mother-ted-s-girls-all-of-them-

The extended scene was pretty good. I had forgotten about alot of those girls.

Nice find. Thanks for sharing that.

that extended scene was nails

I recgonized most of them but not all. Have we seen/heard about all of the ones mentioned or did they throw in a couple of random ones?

"Just tell me the kind of coin!"

Possibly the best line ever uttered in a show full of great lines. Loved every minute of this episode. Classic HIMYM, and probably my third favorite behind "Slap Bet" and "Game Night."

If they keep up the pace for this season, it could be the best season ever of this phenomenal show.

Question: Have they showed Robin at the wedding scenes?

Okay, so this is a theory from Texags and other places.

Aunt Robin, is literally the kids Aunt. And so is Barney. Why?

Robin and Barney get married. Ted meets his future wife, Barney's sister at the wedding.

Wasn't Barney's sister in college?
