The writers have written two endings, one ending with season 8 which I guess will end the moment Ted meets her. Personally I hate would hate this ending. Assuming they can get everyone back for season 9 (Jason Segel is being a pain in the ass!) it will end with season 9, I'm guessing at Ted's marriage, this is the one I want! I want to get to know the mother! gonna watch the first episode now.
