Big night tonight.  After nine seasons, Ted finally meets his match.  Lots of fun little “retrospectives” for a show that many thought wouldn’t make it past two or three seasons have been popping up.  Here’s TV Guide‘s article looking inside and back.  Here’s Entertainment Weekly‘s top fifty episodes.  And below is a great clip from last week’s episode that hits an important nail on the head.

I’m not sure what to expect tonight.  Lots of viewers are concerned about the final fate of the mother (that didn’t even cross my mind until I read about it online a couple of weeks ago).  I’m hopeful, but that’s a big part of why I’ve followed the show for so nine years.  I’m sure I’ll have something more intelligent to say tomorrow.  But for now this: love is the best thing we do.
