That episode might've been the best of the season.One of the worst things they did was make that great "How Your Mother Met Me" episode, which is where pretty much everybody fell in love with the character, and then they pulled the rug out from underneath us
at the ending all day. I read that they shot the ending when they first began the series since the kids are the same age. I hate how it ended because it contradicted everything we were led to believe and how the characters developed just to have em all switch it up at the last minute because that's how they wanted it to end from the start.
Still
100% spot on.The problem that most people have isn't that Ted eventually ended up with Robin, its how they got there. If this was their planned endgame all along then it should have been a story that was told in maybe 4 or 5 seasons. Instead, the creators and CBS got greedy and dragged the damn thing out.
They drove the ted/robin storyline so much into the ground that I think even the most devoted shippers got sick of that relationship. The scene this season where Robin floated away was AWFUL
They spent the last three years growing up Barney and making it seem like Barney/Robin was an important relationship that might have lasted. I mean they spent the ENTIRE last season devoted to their wedding weekend. And then they blew up the whole damn thing in the finale in less then 20 minutes and regressed Barney back into his same old schtick. :x I feel sorry for anybody who cared about their storyline
....so effin true.The irony is that the how your mother met me episode taught us it's ok to love again after your true love dies.That episode might've been the best of the season.One of the worst things they did was make that great "How Your Mother Met Me" episode, which is where pretty much everybody fell in love with the character, and then they pulled the rug out from underneath us
I liked how they tried to add Rome and the new job into the mix but I feel like Marshall and Lily's characters were done after the baby. They got everything they wanted ahead of everyone else so I was expecting em to have a regular ending unlike everyone else.At least Lily and Marshall lived happily ever after...that counts for something, right? Lol
Btw, I just realized that when you take the initials of both of those two (Lily Aldrin and Marshall Erikson)...you get L A M E
Lol I'm surprised there wasn't a joke about that in the show
The biggest conflct out of them sticking around was Marshally coming through with that uppercut ******** on Lily for duming him and moving to Cali Cuz the journey in how we got here was bull ****. Not him ending up with Robin.
When both of these things happened, I really thought it was going to end there and he was just going to pan to the kids and talk for a bit and that would be the end of the show.These two are better alternative endings than the actual ending

If this was real life, the answer would be no. She did all the textbook "I'm too good for you" things to Ted.
.....Loved it when they had an episode on HIMYM making fun of that...Interestingly, I could even say that NPH's scene with his daughter saved the finale from being a total mess.
