And strawberry floating awful greenscreen. Seriously, I don't think 'roadside' is a location exotic enough to need CGI.

That might have been the worst single episode yet.

Casting details for How I Met Your Mother Spin-Off:-
SALLY | She’s vibrant, messy and unpredictable — a “female Peter Pan who has never grown up and has no idea of where she’s going in life.” She’s thinking of calling it quits with her husband of a year, Gavin. She’ll lean on her circle of friends for advice and support through the inevitable divorce. That circle includes…
JULIET | Sally’s sexy, flamboyant, energetic, party-girl BFF. She runs a successful fashion blog. She’s delighted to learn Sally is ending things with the terminally boring Gavin.
DANNY | Sally’s older gay brother, a Type A, overachieving lawyer whom she shares little in common with. They nonetheless share a tight bond, although Sally’s decision to move in with Danny after her split with Gavin promises to test that bond.
TODD | Danny’s warm, outgoing husband and one of Sally’s closest friends from college. Unlike Danny, Todd welcomes Sally into their home.
FRANK | The head of IT for Juliet’s fashion blog. He’s a hot nerd. He has genuine feelings for Sally, but it’s a one-sided flirtation. At least for the moment.
NARRATOR | It’s Sally from the future. She’s reliving the events of her past to her kids.
That sounds strawberry floating horrific on so many levels.

Greta Gerwig to Star in CBS' 'How I Met Your Dad', she'll play Sally -
CBS has found the star of its How I Met Your Mother spinoff How I Met Your Dad.
Frances Ha Golden Globe nominee Greta Gerwig has been tapped to topline the comedy pilot from How I Met Your Mother's Carter Bays, Craig Thomas and EP Emily Spivey, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Gerwig also will be credited as a producer and, should the pilot move to series, is expected to write as well.
Has this last season finished yet? If not then when is the last episode due to air?
I'm mildly interested to see how this ends, but I don't think I'll be able to watch it without having the complete season to sit through at once.
I would look it up but I don't want any spoilers from episode titles

It just further establishes that Barney really does love his friends and goes out of his way to help them. Remember, it was him who got Lilly to come back from San Francisco after he saw how devastated Marshall was.

Upright Citizens Brigade member Drew Tarver is the latest addition to CBS’ How I Met Your Mother offshoot pilot.
Tarver will play Todd, Sally’s best friend and brother-in-law.
So for those who didn't suspect it years ago.............they pretty much confirmed that the mother is going to die.

Yeah it seems pretty certain now, wouldn't say they confirmed it though
Hopefully that's the last we'll see of Lily being a terrible, awful banana split but I doubt it will be

I didn't come into HIMYM at the beginning so I don't have the bond with the series that some people do. I maybe started watching about 3-4 years ago. I really like all the characters, but have not found it consistently laugh out loud funny, I've taken it for what it is and it has been a bit of fun. However honestly not trying to troll the big fans, but this final series has been absolutely gooseberry fool. The problem is that the writers decided to set the whole series across the course of 24 hours. It has dragged out the setup of this wedding. It has taken the characters and the story away from their normal lives and the normality of regular episodes and placed them in this new environment and when there is not enough to do it resorts to non-stop flashbacks. There are no real new character developments or insights, how much more can be said in the same stupid hotel with the non-stop slapstick. Then there is the story of the mother. Considering the whole series is named after her it would have been nice if she featured more in it, especially as she is innocent and charismatic. The episode featuring her story is beautiful. It's like a mini-movie in one episode and reminds me of the very first episode in its winsomeness. Which makes it more frustrating considering how the story will likely be resolved... I really hope the final few episodes are solid so it ends with something to be proud of. I'm hoping everyone together after the wedding laughing and making a toast or something.

Lily did her very best to ruin that episode but thankfully she failed. If you see her say hello is a great song.

I don't think anyone is going to argue with you there. There have been like 3 good episodes this season.
