How I met your mother - Season 8 - The Time Travelers (Ted's imagination part) 

Celine Rousseau I agree with you . However , What about the moment when both Ted and Tracy were about to cry ?

Thanks for this explanation. Loved it💥

I never got. Just thought was sappy as fuck. Now it's tragic

Celine Rousseau I knew she was dead when I saw this episode, didn’t catch what that part meant though

@@firewings6675 It was because she said "what mother would miss their daughter wedding" and at this moment they both knew that she was sick and that she would die soon

"One of"? Which one is supposed to be actually better?

I am still mad at the show for how it ended, but this is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

@@ItsKimOlson mine too

@@HAL-vm3wn when the mother sings "La Vie En Rose" while ted sits outside and listend

@@nuckfigg3r yes😊

I miss this feeling.

Sarah Walter Mara dyer quote?!?!

That's hauntingly beautiful

Lena Hawari It's not even the same categorie. HOW I MET is life. ..

That's because you've never watched friends.

+Skippy Cavanaugh Friends don't have bad ending at least

Sandro BR HIMYM ending wasn't bad either, it just wasn't what you expected.

@@skippycavanaugh3148 i have watched friends 3 times, but i gotta tell you. himym is in a completly different league. friends might have some comedy. but comeon u cant compaire the story of himym to friends. himym is a show you can watch for the comedy just as much as the "drama". friends is all humor.

same here. I am alone as well. And I don't even have friends like Ted Mosby had nor do I have the good looks or success in career that he has.

Leo Marwanson it's so sad because he loves so much and deserves love so much but he's alone.

Ugh same here lol, felt it in my gut when Barney said that.

He feels alone because everyone in his life is moving on and he’s still stuck in the same place he has been for years I know because I’ve been there hell I’m still there right now only with no friends or career

Just trust the fate and the mother will show up

I lost the love of my life 2 years ago . She died of cancer and me and she dated for 4 years . I wish i could have said goodbye to her before her time ran out .

@@bingewatcherfanatic996 🥺🥺🥺

No? Go outside. Empathy is not a super power, friend. It's a tearbreaking scene cuz it's a widow wishing to say to their spouse that they wish there was more time with them. You don't need to relate, most people don't relate, but still hits.

Yes. Most people get left behind at some point.

That’s why people can’t stand Ted Mosby because at his best and at his worse, he’s the most relatable person on the show. Every time we see him make a stupid mistake with women or anything else we put him down and label him because we know that is what we would do in his place. We all do stupid stuff before we finally realize what we need in our lives Ted knew from the very beginning he just didn’t know it was with another woman not Robin.

Why do they have Barney put so much emphasis on Ted being, "all alone"

@@JohnnyLCob because NPH is such an amazing actor.

@@JohnnyLCob Because sometimes he could always say or do the meanest things and got away, that's how in his subconscious it took a face of Barney.

I’m not crying.. not crying.. 😭

their mother is not dead..

Gabriel Fransson um.. yeah. she is

Craptacular1116 shhhh he's probably in denial let him be😂😂

Craptacular1116 I only accept the alternative ending!!! She's alive god damn it

51dodoc and the whole show became coherent and made sense. How I met your mother because she is dead

fvpbz54 You’re doing great. Only a happy man/woman like you can enjoy all of that alone. You’re going to have a beautiful life ahead.

You're not the only one, bud. Me too. Hope we will find that missing piece of the puzzle someday, somehow.

Bro one day you gonna find your yellow umbrella

You have 200 alone likes that share the same life as you :)

You can't imagine how similar my condition is, i barely have friends, i mostly stay home. I feel so alone

I'll never forget him from AFHV

The ending made sense. Robin became a great broadcaster on tv abd ted had a family. They were both 40 and single. Nothing was holding them back.

@@kraevous3366 Except that there is no passion and no romantic chemistry between them and Robin's soulmate is Barney.

@@vblue3789 Robin doesn't really have a soul mate in the end I mean she doesn't deserve one. She broke Barney's best relationship and tbh she never really wanted one in the first place. So it should've ended as Barney with Nora, ted with Tracy, Robin on her own and lily and Marshall

@@vblue3789 clearly you missed the entire point of the show. The point of the show was that there is no perfect person for you, and even if you find that perfect person and you lose them, it doesn't mean you lost your shot at love and you won't find them again. You can always move on, you can always love again, and you can always find that love in someone as well. And with Barney, he couldn't find a successful marriage with Robin but he rehashed his relationship with his father and he also found love in his daughter. Which shows that love doesn't have to be purely romantic, it can come in many shapes and forms. Barney's character developed hugely because of his daughter, even Robin couldn't change it to the extent that his child did. That's how life works. It's realistic. If you wanted some ending where they all end up happily ever after without taking anything away from the show that inspires you, then watch FRIENDS. Or watch the alternative ending and stop whining

I love himym and I’ll agree the ending wasn’t perfect, but for me it wasn’t because of robin and ted getting back together it was the way that it was executed.

Forreal

yeah this was the biggest red flag

Franklin Nogales Soto exactly little things like that made me think the mom was dead.

and if this wasn't enough to seal the deal, the ending in Vesuvius when Ted is crying as Tracy says 'what kind of mother is going to miss her daughter's wedding' ... plus also in Vesuvius Tracy telling him she doesn't wanna see him stuck in his stories, meaning he dwells on the memories he has of her preventing him from moving forward once she dies...that's chilling

cazia9 Or maybe teds mom died? Idk

Cristian Acosta - If Ted's mom is dead, it is not addressed in the series. So that's doubtful.

true af

So true

Usman Kazmi this scene alone is better than whole friends. I love friends though

Lol nothing will top friends

Anais Aldaine show me one episode of friends that will give you goosebump like this series

Such a beautifully written story!

Ashley Kelaart it confuses me.... I dont get it....

Dan Bruffell considering this is Ted retelling his story. He tells his kids that if he knew where the mother was, he would go to her rather than to the robots vs wrestlers. And at that day it was 45 days away from meeting her. It pretty much tells us the mother is dead.

@@karini42631But how does it tell us the mother is dead? And why do they have Barney put such a emphasis on Ted being "All alone" ?

@@JohnnyLCob the emphasis on Ted being alone to my opinion is for three different reasons. 1 Ted just got out of his worst relationship with the craziest woman he ever dated in.... Well I forgot her name. So there's that emphasis on "what an I even doing? Every relationship I'm in fails, what's the point anymore." 2 while he's having these thoughts the love of his life and one of his best friends are getting married. And because of that he feels like he's losing two people he loves with moving to Chicago and starting anew being the only thing he can do to try and mask the pain. 3 because it's Ted telling the story from 20 years after, it also puts an emphasis on how lonely and heartbroken he is after Tracy dies. Even though he didn't even know Tracy yet and didn't know she was gonna get sick and die, this is a telling of the past instead of a story happening in real time. And there's a couple of clues, like Tracy being nowhere during the entire story. But the main one is the epilogue in this video. In other words he's saying "if I knew your mom was gonna die on me, I would've met her sooner and loved her longer and stronger. I miss her to pieces."

Exactly we’re so blessed with our technology that lets us connect to the entire world but we don’t use it like that. We use it to try to appear attractive to everyone. We should be helping each other

Knowing someone else far away from you also feels alone doesn't change the fact that you're alone..

😂 it doesn’t truly help say you’re still alone no one willing to help you or even care about you but yourself. And what these shows fail to do is give a person who truly can’t find happiness. Not in this way but in the way were one never finds someone to love or care about them. A lot of people never will get love

we ARE alone. Having other people share similar experiences to us doesnt bring us together, it just mwans our situation isnt unique.

Black Ninja exactlyyyy because the mother never died. pffft i mean i dont know why people always call it "amternate ending" shaaaalalalala i cant hear you

Oddly enough the one that tripped me up was the episode when he was dating the roommate. He was talking about her posessions (ones they still had) in present tense, but still spoke about the mother in past tense. Then I realised he ALWAYS spoke about her in the past tense....

I need to know this song name please...

@@marcegp_baybay "You're All Alone" - John Swihart

Yes🥺😭

OneToughCookie legen wait for it dary

OneToughCookie evening reading it was still intense

You know, I hate to shatter the image for all of you (remember that episode) but after reading the words carefully, that's more than love, that's obsession. There is a line. Of course if you love someone enough, you would consider their desires over your own, even if it ends up hurting you. But if everyone is telling you to reason and you refuse with the excuse that you love them too much, than your not purely acting out of love, your acting off of your emotional attatchment to this person, and I really hate to say it because it brings out some personal thoughts for me but if your emotionally attached, it is almost definite that the other person isn't willing, or probably even capable, of having the strong feelings for you the way you do for them, and if your not careful, rather than making them happy for doing all you can to care for them, you may overwhelm them and drive you away

@@andrewsutherland133 there's a thin line between obsession and love.

@@ComaAlpha aint that the truth

It sucks...

Hopefully, you made it now

younghex I totally agree

vipul verma Friends has humor, yes. But ultimately I think it's disrespectful to this amazing show to compare it to Friends

Until the very end unfortunately

Barney was a lying manipulative A-Hole.

That's so dumb you must be 14 or something thing that divorce was poor writing that's it. Marshal and Lily supposedly best couple of the show literally seperated 1-2 month before their wedding if not for Barney convincing lily to immediately come back it would have been a huge stretch and they would have seperated from each others. Fight for catering is in fact much normal than lily marshal first split. Same happened with Stuart's wedding.

Honestly I didn't really like Barney and Robin ending up together. I think it would've been better if Barney just stayed the cool bachelor, especially since it didn't work out anyway.

I'd say, it is even worse when you're surrounded by good friends who really care about you and you still feel lonely and empty inside. I've had my fair share of both, but in my example, I feel even worse because I know my friends are worrying about me.

hope you’re doing well man :’)

Hey, his friends weren’t perfect either. Everyone is flawed and if you need a friend I’m always here

Whats the songs name???

Irene A you’re all alone

thegmatt got to have that same emotional endurance, you’ll get there

No, you're not the only one.

RedBengal Well I mean at that point he was around 30 already. I feel like it could have just as easily been a "I've waited too damn long to have you in my life, I can't wait any longer" sort of deal

The narration and context makes it clear that it's not the 30 year old who is delivering the teary eyed speech (after all the 30 year old didn't know her - how could he give a speech to her). It is the 50ish narrator who is delivering the speech in his imagination - although taking the form of the 30 year old in that fantasy, it is clearly the 50 year old experiencing those emotions - and the tears were not "can't wait any longer" forward looking tears, they were "I would give anything to have had 45 more days or even 45 more minutes with you" backward looking tears. The deep tears of someone who has lost someone. In conjunction with the dialogue clues, I agree that Josh's performance in this scene makes the foreshadowing of her fate pretty hard to miss. It at least planted the seed in many people's minds at the time, although there was some pretty heavy debate about it back then. But with hindsight the clue seems unmistakable.

RedBengal we’re sorry ALBERT EINSTEIN

For Narnia i couldnt agree more. the ending fits the pieces together. why ted told his story not of how he met tracy but who robin was in his life. why would he want to start the show with how he met robin anyway? thats roght because he wants his kids to know that

For Narnia I think it was showing Barney is human and after something life-changing he went back to his old ways as a coping mechanism. It was sad but it was a comfort to him.

I strongly disagree on that! Barney ALWAYS was the most complete and most loyal character on the show despite all his sexual adventures (where he never forced anyone innocent. He is not a nice guy and had his tricks but he just used what was given to him) - he always did everything for everybody of his friends, cared for them, helped them, developed them. The scene with his daughter was just natural. Plain and simple.

FINALLY! I have the same perspective about the ending, and I still want to cry about it ;-;.....but that's life. And I actually liked Barney's ending.....i think it's actually pretty normal that people might have a relapse in life, and return to do the things they used to, i guess it's one of the reasons they got divorced....

I think because people didn’t see the hints that were dropped. My wife spoiled the ending for me by accident thinking I already watched it. I was pissed when I heard he ended up with robin. But a few years later I rewatched the series and realized how many hints they drop. It is a perfect ending. It was extremely risky and many hate ending. But it’s beautiful if you realize it was there all along.

No. The issue was Barney and Robin being divorced. Ted and Robin had the 40 year old pact, remember?

Dude they had the ending with him ending up with Robin right from the very start it was always Robin.

pienso lo mismo
