IGN TV: So six weeks left! Are you feeling the emotions right now, or are you just like, "We have to get through these episodes! We have work to do"?
Cobie Smulders: You know, I have from the beginning with this last season [felt the emotions]. I've just been very present and really trying to enjoy every minute. I do find myself getting nostalgic -- not so much thinking about the future, but I just try to enjoy everything -- the crew, our stories, these characters. I feel now, every time I go in to do a scene, I'm more precious with it than I have been in years. It's like, "Well, what about we do it this way?" or, "What if I tried this?" I'm playing with it more now, because I just know that I'm not going to be able to play this character for much longer.

IGN: You haven't seen the very end, the final scripts, although Neil [Patrick Harris] says he asked what was going to happen at the Christmas party and was given the answer.
Smulders: I know the whole thing.
IGN: You know the whole thing too?
Smulders: You know what's so funny is, like, a week before Neil did that, I went up to Craig [Thomas] after the table read, and I was like, "What is the deal with this?" He was like, "Well, do you want me to tell you?" I was like, "Yeah! I think I want to know," and he just laid it out. I immediately started weeping and had to leave. Like, I had to leave. I said that, I was like, "Craig, I have to leave right now. Thank you," and I just walked away.
IGN: So suffice to say, you think it's an effective ending?
Smulders: I do. You know, I feel it's very beautiful and very true to life. That's what I feel about it.
