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.

Straight from Cobie's mouth (multiple times, too) - Robin doesn't love Ted!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I can't wait to see who they get to play her mom.
Cannot wait for season nine to start. I miss this show so much. And I love Cobie's answer to the very last question.
This is kind of abusive of your power... You have the power to write an article here, and instead of sticking to professional matters and copy everything as it is, you had to point out and really bold-outline a part of it and really smack - no bitchslap - it on our faces. "HAHAAAA HE DOESN'T LOVE HER, I TOLD YOU SO!"
ReplyDeleteI thought STV was more professional than this, given how you have access to spread subjects and information to millions and millions of people. When you have that kind of power, doing this is abusing it. There are a few people on your team that simply post the information, and don't attach any personal agendas in it, and I like those people. I would love nothing more than to copy the press release of 24: Live Another Day and show everyone that it is a new series and not the 9th season of 24, but I can't. Do you think that's fair? I don't. I don't care if I get wildly downvoted here, I needed to share this. Thanks for your time!
Sorry, fixed it.
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy you understood my point, thank you so much for changing it! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all... Friends > HIMYM.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I never really assumed Robin was still in love with Ted. I wish she still was (or maybe more like a few seasons ago I wish she still was), but that's neither here nor there. I just think that when Robin and Barney are together, they are so self-involved and feed off each other's bad points that I don't want to have anything to do with them. So bring on the flashbacks so I don't have to be stuck in this dang wedding for 24 whole episodes.
I love HIMYM, but I also agree with you in Friends being superior to HIMYM.
ReplyDelete24 revival be addressed as "24: Live Another Day" on the site from now onwards.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Babar! :)
