Een kleinse schrik reactie kreeg ik vanmiddag toen ik het Amerikaanse Blog over HIMYM zat te lezen. De titel deed vermoeden dat er misschien wel een einde zal komen aan HIMYM, maar daar hoeven bij verdere navraag niet bang voor te zijn.

“The mother will be revealed at the end of season 4!, maybe”

How I Met Your Mother co-creator Carter Bays tells me that the sitcom’s central mystery is about to be solved. Or rather, resolved. At least kinda-sorta.

“At the end of the season, we will address the title of our show,” reveals Bays, adding that the last four episodes will feature “big events in the lives of our characters — specifically Ted (Josh Radnor). We’re going to wrap up some things that have been left dangling.”

Bays wouldn’t elaborate on the nature of the revelation (i.e. will the mom actually be ID’d?) or how it might figure into this season’s cliffhanger. “But I will say at the very least that the season will end with a complete sentence,” he teases. “We’ve left some sentence fragments dangling in past seasons, but this year, there will either be a period, a question mark or an exclamation point. We will be giving the audience that.”

In een eerder artikel wist men er al te vertellen dat de bekende “Goat” weer zijn opwachting gaat maken in dit seizoen.

Carter Bays: The goat will appear this year. We’ve shot it, haven’t edited it yet, but it looks amazing. To tell the story we wanted to tell, we had to use a real goat and also build a special effects goat. And the SFX goat came out great. Better than we’d hoped.
