Great answer

- just stand still -

that's a smart answer.

yea, god, Robin was pathetic in the finale and Barney too, it was just all kinds of awful.

Cobie and Neil deserved so so much better than the crap they got. well, Barney getting a baby wasn't that bad but it being by a random one night stand was lame.

The whole cast deserved better tbh

Such a great episode

I just have to say, that is also one of my favorite episodes. It just worked, on so many levels.

Saw this and had to share.

How I Met Your Mother, which ran for nine seasons, was presented as a story told by Ted Mosby (the voice of Bob Saget, played by Josh Radnor in flashback) to his kids, explaining how his relationship with their mother began, diverging into countless stories of other relationships and friendships along the way. The title character, Tracy McConnell, doesn't really show up until the finale of Season 8, with Cristin Milioti as Tracy added to the cast for Season 9.

It took a long time to get there, but Ted and Tracy's romance actually plays out well in the final season. Milioti, more cute than glamorous with effortless charm and comic timing, is perfectly cast. Despite everything that had happened over nine years, viewers were primed to watch Ted and Tracy live happily every after. Then, the series finale took a turn when it was revealed that while Ted has been telling the story to his kids, their mother has been dead for six years. She passed away from an undisclosed illness (presumably cancer) and Ted has been a single father ever since.

This sets up the reveal that Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), who Ted fell in love with in the series premiere and dated unsuccessfully during the series, is the real love of his life and the woman he was meant to grow old with. That might have worked better if she hadn't spent so much of the show romantically involved with Ted's friend Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), who she marries and divorces during the whirlwind of the series finale. The show's creators offered the defense that this had been the plan all along, but after such a long run it just didn't work. It made Tracy feel like a prop, and left a very bad taste in the mouths of viewers. As with the rest of this list, it was proof that sometimes the people who make television need to be flexible with their plans, and better consider the feelings of viewers.

Sounds about right. I never watched and even I can't stand the series finale.

yea, I agree with that. if it was their plan all along, they shouldn't have kept going back to BR and having them pine and marry. if they wanted to keep their ending they should have just left BR as friends or had them never get back together after season five. there were a lot of times they could have gone back to TR but they didn't so keeping the ending was the stupidest thing they could have done.

I hate when shows use the "it was always the plan" excuse because one it makes them look stupid and/or 2. it makes them look like ***holes for using their fans.

stlavin95

Agreed, more people would have liked the ending if they did back to TR at any time.
