'How I Met Your Mother' creates special opening credits for 200th episode

How I Met Your Mother will air its milestone 200^th episode, entitled "How Your Mother Met Me," on Monday. As the title suggests, the episode promises to be a big one, as The Mother (Cristin Milioti) recounts how she met Ted, along with other significant moments in her life during the last eight-plus seasons of the show.

The episode is so momentous, in fact, that How I Met Your Mother will change to How Your Mother Met Me in a special set of opening credits designed specifically for the 200^th episode. EW.com posted an exclusive first look at the footage, which you can view here. The credits feature The Mother alongside her former roommate Cindy (Rachel Bilson) and other sure-to-be guest stars.

EW also notes that co-creator Craig Thomas said last week that "Cristin is amazing in it and there's a lot of fun intersections between her life and our gang."

For those of you who want some spoilers on the episode, the "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine reports that the 200^th episode will not only show The Mother's past, but also how her past intertwines with the history of the characters we already know and love:

"Episode 200 aka 'How Your Mother Met Me' will show what Cristin Milioti's character has been up to all these years, 'intersecting' her path at times with familiar past storylines. 'It's a fun little 'Disneyland tour' through the series, from the perspective of someone outside the group,' EP Carter Bays shared at the CBS sitcom's final TCA panel. 'It's very emotional, and we could not have done this with any other actress.' (Carter also said that 'some fun trickery' was used to drop The Mother into past episodes.)"

We just have one question: Will we learn The Mother's name?
