TV Line: How I Met Your Mother Bosses: 'We're Writing This Season Like It's the End' It sounds like Craig Thomas really wants to end it this season, while Carter Bays would be content to let it go on indefinitely a la "The Simpsons".

One of the showrunners has said that this last go round with Victoria will be Ted's final major romance before he meets the Mother. The journey he takes with Victoria will leave him in the right place emotionally and intellectually to meet the Mother. So it sounds like whatever happens with...

The first half hour was the usual so-so for this show in later years, but the second half hour was as good as this show has ever been. It's nice to know that the creators haven't entirely forgotten the end game.

My understanding is that Jason Segel definitely wants out when his contract ends at the end of next season, but Bays & Thomas are willing to let it ride as long as CBS keeps it on the air.

Tonight's episode should win an editing Emmy. Now we know Ted's daughter is 15 when the kids are listening to his endless story in 2030, and the son is younger. That means the Mother has to get pregnant in early 2014. Unless we have a "Knocked Up" situation where the Mother gets knocked up on...

Another solid episode tonight that moved the ball forward. I liked Becki Newton on "Ugly Betty", and I really like her here. She's probably my favorite love interest the show's come up with for Barney so far. She's a challenge, and there's no bullshit there.

Apparently Lily would, for $20.

Tonight's episode was huge for the show. Just when you think the show's going to take another spin on the Ted-Robin merry-go-round, they close the door on it altogether. And the ending ranks in my top five of the entire series. It really leaves me hoping that next season's the last. At this...

I'm hoping the reintroduction of that plays off Victoria's comment from earlier in the season that him rooming with one of the great loves of his life and hanging out with her all of the time is weird and holding him back. I actually thought it was natural to go there, since when they broke up...

I will say that tonight's episode had one of the better credit tags I've seen.

Second great episode in a row. The show's found its heart again.

Tonight's episode was my favorite one in years. Given what future Ted has said in the past, Robin being childless is the only way things could have ended up. But the way it was handled was pitch perfect. Instead of being a pregnancy scare that they rehash again and again, they closed the door on...

The final beat of tonight's episode was something the show's needed for a long time, even if I didn't realize it: a genuine surprise, a development that means the show isn't simply spinning its wheels. The characters have been pretty static for a long time, and that development promises to shake...

Hated that they made Barney and Robin cheaters. Loved the ending.

I'm not exactly known for brevity, you've got that right.:) Really hectic around here at the moment, but I couldn't let Barney's "I can still turn this around" after the jumper go unacknowledged.

Great Barney episode.

Of all the potential mothers introduced at moments when the show's renewal chances were up in the air, Victoria was by far my favorite. Six years later, Josh Radnor and Ashley Williams still have the kind of chemistry that keeps me glued to the screen. I like that they're getting into the...

That was a very solid hour for "HIMYM". It reminded me of the early seasons more than the last couple seasons have. I think Nora's lovely, so I loved all of that stuff, and Barney and Robin's dance was legen -- wait for it... -- dary. Mainly, it was a relief that the characters were likable...
