How I Met Your Mother - Season 9 - Cobie Smulders ETOnline interview

Share on Reddit

ETonline: The last time I saw you was right before How I Met Your Mother's first Comic Con panel. How was that experience?

Cobie Smulders:
I got very emotional when I first came out because I thought there would be 30 people in the audience. And then I walked out. It's like a sonic wave that hit me. The sound is physical; it smacked me in the face. I was really excited to meet the fans and try to give back in some way because I've had a job for freaking eight years, and that's unheard of in this industry. It was an awesome celebration.

ETonline: What are you excited for fans to see in the final season?

Smulders
: I'm excited for them to see this wedding take place. I'm excited for them to see how Cristin [Milioti] will be worked into our show. So far it's been quite brilliant in how she meets all the characters. You really see her personality and all the attributes that Ted will eventually fall in love with. I thought this show would end with Ted seeing a woman across the room and the voiceover saying "Kids, that's how I met your mother," and then it would be over. For some reason that's what I always assumed. This is so much better. I love that we're playing it out and seeing her interactions with us, which all leads up to the scene where Ted meets her. The way we play with the timeline this season is genius -- we not only flash back, but flash forward a lot this year, so it's great.

ETonline: Are you glad that Robin ended up with Barney versus Ted?

Smulders:
You know, that's a question I have trouble answering because I don't want it to sound like I like Barney better, or I like Neil [Patrick Harris] better. I mean, we've shot so many episodes, that I sometimes forget Robin simply isn't in love with Ted. He's the perfect guy, who is so kind and considerate, and I'm sure Robin wishes she loved Ted. I mean, that's the safer bet. He's safe and reliable, but she just doesn't love him.
