Interview with Aly in Time Magazine about the finale
You mentioned your Twitter followers. How do you feel about the crazy-high fan expectations for the finale?
I would have been worried about it before I actually knew how the show was going to end. The script was just amazing and wonderful and happy and sad and all of the above.
There’s a fan theory that we’ll discover the mother has been dead all along…
We could all be dead. Who knows? But I just love that even though it’s only [two] episodes left, people are still trying to figure out the end. As Barney would say, wait for it!
You clearly don’t share your character’s inability to keep a secret.
If there is a secret I’d definitely be able to keep it. With the sleep deprivation of the last five years, I’d probably just forget it anyway.
Will you ever give your kids a how-I-met-your-dad talk?
I could show them, when they’re old enough. I can say ‘This is [husband Alexis Denisof's] first episode on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and this is the prom episode where I realized I really liked this guy, then Mommy freaked out and we didn’t date for a year.’
