She's a bit busy with "Masters of Sex" on Showtime.

I feel like the first and last paragraphs of this review should be switched.

I guess having the Barney and Belize bit puts to rest any speculation as to whether he and Robin go through with the wedding or not, right?

Right now, I would be happy if the series finale was just 22 minutes of Ted and "The Mother's" first conversation at the train station, like "Before Sunrise" or something. No flash backs or forwards. Just them.

Maybe, but I'll laugh at "So that's what it does" every time.

The long national nightmare is over.

The series finale of "Monk." The ending montage with Randy Newman's "The End" was the first time I ever cried for a tv show.

One of the imaginary Barney's tells Ted at the end that the whole "Minnesota Tidal Wave" event happened "5 Years Ago." It did happen. Ted was just re-imagining it in present day terms. The Coat Check Girl stuff was what actually happened in present day.

I thought they were doppelgangers briefly halfway through, then they disappeared whenever Robin, Lilly or Marshall walked over.

I'm reading "The President's Club: Inside the World's Most Exclusive Fraternity" by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy. I just finished Mike Wallace's second memoir, "Between You and Me." 

Hearing Future Ted say "I always liked that joke" was great. Was this the first Full House joke they've made? If so, it was absolutely perfect.

"The floaters have all the fun."

"The floaters have all the fun."

It was probably just both channels doing a live look-in at the game, not just showing the entire game on multiple channels. That hasn't been done since the Patriots were going for 16-0.

I like the nerd/geek humor, but not at the expense of keeping nerd stereotypes alive.

No, I watched an episode of HIMYM on cbs.com this season.

So much does it cost to use one Beatles song?

I loved how she came off as a mother when she said that.

Favorite line of the night:

I know that's likely it. But if they have to rush a series finale together at some point, that could be be a really big gap.
