Carrie-Anne Moss still gets my vote to play Robin's mother.

I still get a chuckle out of the constant drink in Lily's hand, "Thank you, Linus."
For the past couple of weeks, I've been completely skipping everything that happens on that godawful road trip. How can they split up the group like that during the last season?

Not a great episode, but I thought it was by far the strongest of the season. Some good laughs, and some heart touching moments with Robin

As soon as they started talking about Robin's mother, I realized that we've never met her and know nothing about her. Not a bad episode (Anna Camp 
) but enough with Marshall's road trip.

I really hope Marshall being separated from the group is leading somewhere and is more than just a plot device to keep him and Lily from confronting each other about him accepting the judgeship.

I know that Segel was reluctant to sign up for season 9. I was wondering if perhaps this was a plot device to let him film his scenes all at once (for the most part) or make coming and going easier.

I liked most of the episode, except for the Marshalls parts of course.
Ted and the mother have so much chemistry together. I would watch a rom-com movie starring them.

Although that could be turned into a story about Barney worrying how Robin was going to age (after maybe seeing a few other relatives that look terrible for their age) only to meet Robin's mom and be thrilled.

Apparently the reason they're doing it is because he's in the middle of filming a movie and it was their way to get him into every episode until he comes back. They probably did all of his bits in one night.

If this is correct, that's pretty nuts! That means they had to basically have all the scripts done way ahead of time to accommodate him.
