See, I got the impression that the mother was too perfect. That Tracy was so similar to Ted in their likes and dislikes, their quirks and personality traits, even their initials, "TM"..... it just seemed like she was a female version of Ted, and that seemed like lazy writing to me. It's okay to have common interests and compatibility, but falling in love with your mirror image seems unrealistic, not to mention narcissistic.

I never had that hollow feeling in the pit of my in regard to Ted's relationship with Tracy, like I did with Robin and Barney. But . . . yeah, I have to agree with you. There was something a bit unnatural about their relationship.

That is just wrong on so many levels.
