I haven't watched this show recently. So is this the last season?

Yes, you can catch up on Netflix. They have all 8 seasons, this is season 9. There have been rumors that there will be a spin off next fall.

I took it to mean that Ted's mother had died and missed their wedding.

The mushy brown-haired guy. The promiscuous blond guy is Doogie Howswer.

What were all the hints about the mom dying?

nah, the scene is 10 years in the future and his reaction was about something more immediate. i can't believe i am analyzing it this much (and this way!)

wondering this also. I only noticed the one in the future when the Mom said every woman needs her mom to walk her down the aisle and Ted cries. What were the others?

She says she doesn't want Ted to live in his stories--she wants him to move forward.

Wait, is it possible that the living in the past and stories and all the aunt robin references point towards ROBIN dying?

That's possible.

I thought that, but why get all misty with the "who misses their daughters wedding?" comment. Robin doesn't have kids.

I will say, while the show has its ups and downs, I have been impressed about how well thought out it has been at times for a silly comedy. They show clips from the future, and they are always true to those clips (they show Barney getting ready to get married, the goat in the bathroom, the yellow umbrella, etc).

I posted earlier too and I, too, can't believe how much I am analyzing this. I know that Robin can't have biological kids and they did that fake-out with the flash forward in Argentina where they were in the wrong room. But their dialogue about going to get the crying baby led me to believe that although that wasn't their baby, perhaps they really did have their own daughter at home. Maybe they adopted a baby. I don't know if the mother is dying or Robin but I just don't think it is going to end on a happy note.

There was an ep where the narrator (ted) says something like, "Robin never did go on to have kids..."

Oh, yes, you are correct. Sorry!

The scene at the door where he said he would give anything to have 45 more days with her?
