How I Met Your Mother returns to CBS on 20th September. Alan Sepinwall has posted a lengthy transcript of a conversation with show creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas which looks back at some of season five’s missteps, and ahead to what we can expect in season six (hint: probably not the identity of the Mother).

As Sepinwall states in his introduction, spoilers for S6 are vague but read ahead at your own risk.

“HIMYM creators promise a return to emotion and romance.”

As previously mentioned back in February Activision has confirmed that Neil, who previously voiced Spider-Man in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, will reprise his role in a new game, Spider-Man, Shattered Dimensions.

Neil speaks to MTV about the sequel to the smash-hit web series and whilst he acknowledges that there are no firm plans at present, he believes it is unlikely to debut on the internet and is more likely to be a feature film (Of course it’s possible this may be in the form of Direct to DVD).

“I don’t know what their plans are, but I don’t think it will be on the Internet,” he added. “I think it will probably be a film. Now we have to figure out everyone’s schedules.”
