COUCH POTATO!

Will this be the final season of "How I Met Your Mother"?

Everyone is waiting today with baited breath for the Season 8 premiere of “How I Met Your Mother”, currently one of the most popular television sitcoms.
Created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays and directed by Pamela Fryman, the show was generating some frowns and groans from its viewers during the middle of last season.
However, the show has done what it does best every season finale: play with the plot and create unexpected twists and turns, which make us crave for more.
Filled with surprises and revelations that spellbound the viewers “The Magician's Code” flowed so naturally that it hardly mattered that this was actually two episodes instead of an hour-long season finale. The first episode consisted of a series of flashbacks where Ted (Josh Radnor) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) told silly anecdotes to distract Lily (Alyson Hannigan) from her contractions as well as from the fact that her husband Marshall (Jason Segel) could not be reached over the phone during such a crucial hour.
On the other side of those flashbacks were Barney's attempts to get an extremely intoxicated Marshall from Atlantic City to witness the birth of his son. The usually sober Marshall actually agreed (at a moment of drunken stupor) to give his son the middle name, “Wait For It.” The prologue of the finale ended with the birth of Marvin Wait For It Erikson.
The second episode of the season finale, shocked us when
the incorrigible Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) who craves for drama every waking moment of his life proposed to Quinn. And how did that happen? Well, as it turned out Barney planned on taking Quinn for a romantic getaway but was stopped by airport security when they found a mysterious box in his luggage. When he admitted that he was carrying explosives, he was detained by the police in a room, where he proposed to Quinn by performing a hilarious magic trick.
However, as we finally flash forward to Barney's wedding and find that the bride in white veil is none other than Robin Scherbatsky, we are perplexed, to say the least. What could have possibly happened between him proposing to Quinn and his eventual wedding to Robin?
Now let us talk about Ted, the man around whom the entire show was supposed to revolve as he ventures on his quest to meet the mother of his unborn children. For someone like Ted who believes in love, magic and destiny his journey seems to be painstakingly long. Though it was always Ted and Robin for me,
(sorry to disappoint you but personally I never understood the chemistry between Barney and Robin), the moment when Victoria rushed into the bar in a wedding dress, the “cake lady” seemed almost perfect for Ted. As he drove past the church into the sunset, we could not help but wonder what would happen next. I also felt quite sorry for Victoria because I knew in my heart of hearts that it could not be her. Remember I said “almost” perfect?
So what exactly is going to happen this season, which is rumoured to be the final season of the show? Who is the mother of the teenagers listening to their father's unending saga with an admirable degree of patience? When would Ted finally meet that elusive woman with the yellow umbrella? Have we already met her? Or all we have seen of her so far is a brief glimpse of her ankle?
Hopefully, we will get an answer soon, though it looks like we are going to have to wait for it. Meanwhile prepare to have your minds blown tonight. Well, mind-blowing is a good way to kick off the season.
