Grade: B-
The final season of “How I Met Your Mother” premiered on Monday, and finally introduced the audience to the show’s titual mother. After almost a decade of putting this mystery woman on the highest pedestal, it seemed like no woman could ever live up to the fans’ expectations. However, even though actress Christin Milioti was only in a  small portion of the episode, it’s obvious that she was a perfect choice to play Ted Mosby’s future wife. In the episode, Lily is the first one to meet the mother, which was fitting because is one of Ted’s oldest friends. Despite the fact that we now know who the mother is, the mystery lingers because we still don’t know her name. Overall, the episode was a great beginning of the end — full of laughs and the genuine charm that the show is known for.
