    Hated it with all my guts. I can't believe the writers played us like that... seriosuly, what an awful way to end such an amazing series. No, I'm in denial.

    I called it a few weeks back and I'm so glad I was right!
    Always said Ted and Robin belonged together.


    Brilliant ending to the series.

    I haven't been able to stop crying since ten minutes in. They literally ruined everything.

    That was the worst finale I have ever watched.

    Loved it beyond all words. I called this on so many levels and I am SO HAPPY and crying with joy and sadness at the same time it's unreal. Best. Finale. Ever. My first season Robin/Ted loyalty seems to have paid off beautifully. High fiving a million angels, as Liz Lemon would say. GAAAAAAAAHHH!

    I thought it was incredibly well done. I'm very critical about series finales but this really hit the nail on the head. I was disappointed about The Mother dying but the whole full circle of the story made it perfect.


    Again. That was just a truly great finale.

    I could not delete this final episode from my dvr fast enough. This show was supposed to be about Ted falling in love with the woman he was truly meant to be with, you know ... The Mother!! Instead, what we got as an ending about how Ted was meant to be with Robin all along. The only thing I can happily take away is that I guessed that the Mother's name was Tracy because Ted mentioned the her name to the his kids as he was telling them the Thanksgiving he and Barney spent at the all you can eat buffet at a strip joint. Talk about a slapped together show, jerking back and forth through different timelines. We don't even know the name of Marshall and Lily's third child. I just can't believe the writers and the cast thought for even a split second this is the way the audience wanted to be paid off for years of loyal viewing. This show is pretty much now screwed for me forever.

    I can see how they thought that was a good way to end the series when they filmed the scene with the kids back in season 2. Somewhere in between season 2 and season 8, the status quo switched, and the setup no longer allowed that to be a good ending. Season 9 accentuated this, making it a very very unsatisfying way to wrap up the story.

  31. tv_viewer1 April 2014 at 02:13

    I admit people who theorized about Love in the time of cholera got the ending right. I do criticize about the writers giving a good enough reason why Ted waited until 2030 to tell the kids this story if the mother, Tracy, died in 2024. Ted is known to do crazy things and he wouldn't wait 6 years to ask his kids permission to date Robin

    I have no problem with Ted and Robin ending up together, but please, have the decency to add 300% more Ted and mother scenes...
    Stuff like their first fight, first child born, first time rehashing all the near miss meetings with their friends etc. etc.
    They got a whole season to make that happen, then she only appears sparsely in the 2nd half of the series. Bummer.

  34. bgoodkatie1 April 2014 at 02:15

    Yes, I never got the appeal of Barney and Robin, their relationship has always felt wrong and sometimes juvenile, and it paled in comparison to the strong bond Ted and Robin have. It feels good to be right! It's canon!

    And this will spell trouble for the spin off series. Fans do not seem to be happy, I doubt they trust these guys again. Which sucks, while I don't like what they did, I respect what they did which as stick to their creative guns and end it how they wanted to. Probably one season too long in retrospect.

    Absolutely perfect finale. Perfection. Would I liked to have gotten more of The Mother? Absolutely! But I've always felt, since day one, the story was about Ted. Not the mother. And I feel like that had a definite conclusion to Ted's story.

    As much as I like the characters of Barney and Robin, I have never liked them together. They were never right for each other and you could see that in their actions.

    I couldn't be happier Ted and Robin ended up together, as it should have been. Great story telling, great emotion, great laughs, great everything!! I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion! Very neatly tied up!

    All hail Judge Fudge!

    Loved Barney becoming a dad! Soo perfect!

    I've never been able to connect with a comedy like this in my entire life!! Real life events that almost anyone and everyone can relate to! What a fantastic show!

    Everyone that had to do with the show all said that we will love the way things end up...

I really thought that at the end Barney and Robin would hook up and she would end of pregnant, not some one night stand of Barney's.

    They've handled this final season so poorly. Instead of having over 20 episodes focused on one weekend, they could have covered all the years they stupidly crammed into the finale. They focused on the Mother's death for less than 30 seconds. Not to mention the stupid notion that all this was just so Ted could get his kid's approval to go out with Robin, when he's been going on about his soul mate being their mother all this time. And also the fact that this season's been about Ted letting go of Robin, something which is quickly reversed and rushed in the last 2 minutes of the show. Dunno if they were trying to be clever, because obviously they filmed that scene with the kids a long time ago, but it just comes off as so stupid. SOZ 4 DA RANT

  59. Jaja Amarillo1 April 2014 at 02:22

    I wasnt prepared for the Ted and Robin ending. But I liked how they thought of that from the beginning of the show. It just proves that they had a clear ending since the pilot season. But it just didnt work for me. Here are my reasons:


    1. For the past two seasons, they made us believe and root for Barney and Robin. And we all bought into it. They even made an entire season about their wedding. And it just ended in one episode. It's like they undid an entire episode. I felt robbed, that all.


    2. This is just my opinion. But Ted and Robin brought out the worst in each other.


    3. They made us believe, all season long, that the Mother is the love of Ted's life. And that the universe had been conspiring all along to bring them closer to each other. And then she died and Ted had to move along.


    The theories that had been floating around on the net about the mother dying, I'm all for that. And then Ted living out the rest of his life alone, with his kids and keeping in touch with friends, would have been a better ending. With Ted finally moving on, complete to have met the love of his life.


    But that's just me.


    My point is, the ending didn't work for me because it didn't conform to my sensibilities and my ideas about love. Maybe that's why others feel robbed as well. But that's just my personal POV. Me as me. I'm no critic. Maybe the finale is indeed nice.


    Plus the fact that I still think FRIENDS finale was a better one.

  60. Bearded Timbino1 April 2014 at 02:23

    Ted and Robin were destined from day one. There were hints in every single season that they would end up together.

    Bravo to Carter and Craig for sticking to their guns and not letting the shipping get in the way!!

    I can't wait to see the CBS Monday lineup falter now...they were winning the night two years ago with a much stronger HIMYM, 2BG and 2 1/2 Men, now they're gonna die on Mondays. And since everybody is bummed about how this finale is, look like nobody wants to watch the spin off.

  66. desiqtie1 April 2014 at 02:25

    Wow that sucked. Wasn't funny or moving or anything. And waaaay too predictable - I don't know how anyone was surprised. My 16 year old sister was sitting next to me calling out what she thought would happen next - the divorce, the drifting apart, Barney's kid, the death, Robin/Ted...she predicted it all! Lol.

    I'm not a shipper so I don't care about "endgame" pairings but killing off one female character to hook up the main character with a different female character? The "playboy" male character suddenly realizing the error of his ways now that he has fathered a daughter? Ugh. It was really just one horrible cliche after overused cliche after another...

    As a person who stopped watching because Barney and Robin made me sick, I am very happy with this. Barney is a scumbag and I actually lost respect for Robin dating him. Go back and watch the earlier seasons and it's obviously Ted and Robin.

  71. Bearded Timbino1 April 2014 at 02:26

    I'm sorry, I couldn't be happier with the way the finale ended. After years and years worth of "Barney/Robin shipping" and them definitely ending up together, I'm thoroughly glad that wasn't the case.

    Ted and Robin were WAY better together than Barney and Robin. And that isn't even from a shipper of either. The shipping just got a bit obnoxious.

    Looking back, Breaking Bad has ruined how I watch and expect from shows. Dexter's ending was bad. real bad. This.... I have loved this show for years I don't even want to say it. Terrible ending. Only thing I will say is, since Ted and Robin are happy, then I hope The Mother and Max are happy as well.

    I know a lot of people feel that was what the show was about, but I never saw it that way...
    I always thought that premise was just an excuse for Ted to tell his kids the stories. Those stories were the entire reason for he show, not the mother or his relationship with her.


    Sad that the finale has split the fandom down the middle since I personally felt this finale was very truthful to everything the series was about.

    What i'm most pissed off is not really the ending, because, lets face it, everybody saw that coming since the Vesuvius episode. What i'm most pissed off is after that they dismissed the theory that the mother was dead. Why? Couldn't they just not say anything? That pissed me off. The mothers name was Tracy too, so, everything checks out. This final season is only worth for 4 or 5 episodes, and that is it. Could have been done better. I love the show, but i feel a bit disappointed now.

    Did you watch the episode in which they tried to move in together? It was a disaster. And many more times after that the show continued to prove they were not meant for each other. And then it tries to sell us that Barney & Robin will have their happy ending together, Ted will have the mother, and then Barney & Robin split up (even when Future Ted called it legendary in the wedding), the mother dies and Ted goes after Robin, AGAIN?! No, No! NO! That's not an ending!

    Like I said I respect but...I won't be watching either. Does that make me bitter? Sure, but it just matches the Taste in my mouth after watching this. The series to me felt like buying an expensive wine, a wine that made you feel good because you owned it. And you put it up because everyone said it gets better with age. You waited, sometimes excited, sometimes frustrated until finally the time was here to pop the bottle. Only to take a sip and discover the wine had a fly in the bottle the whole time. You then open the mail and see a letter from the wine company asking you to try their new flavor.

    You say F*** that ish, rip it up and forget that company ever existed.

    I haven't even watched it, but, after reading this, I don't want it. And not because this way the show will really end, but because the two most horrid things that could happen, happened. I'm sorry, I'm not a hate person, but I hate the writers for what they did to me. All of this years telling me about this lovely, adorable, great and perfect woman for Ted, and after getting to know her this past season and realizing that she is even more perfect and perfect for Ted than I thought about, you go ahead and kill her? And if that's not morbid enough, they pair Ted up with someone that never really loved him, at least not after they broke up from a relationship that wasn't meant to be at all? If you don't want Robin and Barney together, that's your right. But Ted and Robin? I can't think of a more ridiculous couple! Not even Marshall and Robin would be so ridiculous.This can't be happening... Seriously. My heart aches... They ruined it. With one hour long episode they ruined everything they've built for nine years. I'm going to sleep. Maybe this is just a nightmare and tomorrow everything will be normal with the universe again.

    But that number is not as large as the Barney/Robbin shippers. I'd say from what I can see, about 70-80% of the hate is coming from them. Which I understand of course, I'd be surprised if they weren't angry.

    I honestly was feeling that Msoby love when he and Tracy were under the umbrella realizes how connected they were. Had it ended with them together I would have enjoyed it honestly.


    I thought the finale was very honest to how each of the characters has been the entire series - Especially Barney and Robin and Ted..

    I agree with you!! They all said that it was just a rumor that the mother was going to die and to not worry about the future because we will all love what happens. So they go and brake up Barney and Robin a couple they just spent a year and a half, and to make it full circle just I think sends the wrong message out. Just the way they ended the series really made the past 9 years pointless

    The show was about Ted. No one else. Everyone else was a piece of TED'S story! Period. From day one it's been about Ted. I feel the reason that they dedicated a season to the wedding is because that's where the two of the biggest things in Ted's life came from: Meeting The Mother of his children and Robin and Barney separating. It all had to make sense and it was all part of the build up. If you don't think it's extremely poetic that The Mother ended up with her one true love and so did Ted, something is up.

    Good comedies do that, so it is not bad at all!

    They connect with viewers in very real, very personal ways because the viewers can relate. As absurd and fantastical as so many of the HIMYM stories were, they always came down to something very relatable. Friendship.

    I have the same feeling about JJ Abrams denying John Harrison is Khan in Star Trek. Why did Cristin Miloti have to say the mother isn't dead? She could have just said "Watch the finale." I thought Carter Bays wanted to give "How I Met Your Dad" the best chance to be successful. Just tell the truth or say "No comment." Fans may no longer trust the How I Met Your Mother crew to be truthful.

    I don't care about Barney/Robin, I'm just appalled by the bait-and-switch that just happened. Why did they build up Barney and Robin for two seasons, or Ted and Tracy for the whole nine seasons, only to throw both out the window at the very last episode? Especially the mother, she seemed so redundant by the end. Her death was mentioned only in a single sentence and even the kids didn't seem to give a shit.

    And instead they went for pairing Ted with Robin, who only had a brief and not very good relationship and since then haven't really shown any genuine connection. They never developed that story at all just to have it magically happen at the last second, just for the sake of having a "twist". That's just bad writing.

    Frankly, they made Robin seem incompatible with anyone. I was briefly happy during that part of the episode when she disappeared.

    IT was poetic tragedy at its best.. and more than that, it was the perfect ending.
    - From the first episode it was clear that Ted an Robin belonged together.
    - We learned Ted wanted kids and Robin did not.
    - Ted met the mother and got his kids and experienced all the storybook romance aspects of what he had been looking for his entire life. (Bass player etc)
    - After living in bliss for years, she dies tragically.
    - Ted then marries the one that got away..


    It could not have been more perfect for Ted... and he is the center of the entire series. Period.

    Ask yourselves. How satisfied as a viewer would you be if he just ended up with the Mother? we have known these guys for 9 years and someone strolls in on year 9? Cristina Miloti, love her to death but it makes sense that it was Robin. That's how it started, that's how it should finish. It's sad the mother died but you know what? maybe they were just two people who were in each others lives because they couldn't be with the people they truly wanted, not at all saying they didn't love each other but the mother had her true love before Ted... and Ted always wanted Robin. 9 seasons made that painfully clear (especially with the "if we are both single at 40")... It's not like the ending came out of nowhere. Granted, it's not the best finale there ever was but It is far from the worst.

    I disagree that it was bad writing. I've grown to accept and at least tolerate Robin/Barney and went into this finale suspecting Ted/Robin but preparing myself for being disappointed because it felt like a long shot. So I would've been okay with Robin/Barney staying together. I thought the last episode was brilliant even though they got married. It's extremely poetic and bold to do what they did...tragic, yes, but very poetic. Barney's love for his daughter was truly beautiful, Tracy's love for Ted and his for her was truly beautiful, and Ted and Robin's lingering love for each other was, again, truly beautiful. Tracy got to be blissfully happy with the love of her life for the last years of her, and Ted got to love her as deeply as he could for as long as he could and have kids and also be blissfully happy. And after all that, to finally end up with the girl he fell in love with in the pilot? Nah, not bad writing, just incredibly bold. As sad as some aspects of the show are, it never stopped being honest. People get married, people get divorced, and people die.

    I seem to be the only Barney/Robin shipper here... But really, that was one of the many reasons this finale was bad. I mean, seriously. Clearly they've been planning it to end this way for a long time, and even if they changed their mind and wanted to finish it off with Barney/Robin, they probably really wanted to include the footage of the kids telling Ted to go for it... Which was really, really weird...


    Anyway, when Barney was a dad, that was great. I wish that the mother was Robin and not some random hookup? I mean at this point, he really should've gotten a vasectomy or something...


    I didn't expect for the Mother to die. That was going a step too far. Really, the whole season should've been these moments, not all condensed into a finale. It was kind of a waste for it to all be about the wedding when the endgame wasn't going to Barney and Robin anyway. If it was going to be about Ted/Robin, then they should've gave them a lot more than what they did.


    It was just bad, really bad. But most finales are bad.

    Barney becoming a father wasn't a good moment at all? He didn't care about the woman he impregnated as far as I managed to see? She was "Number 31".

    So right.
    Ted wanted a dream woman with a list of traits his entire life. In the meantime before meeting her, he fell for Robin and she fell for Ted.


    They realized the timing was not right and they wanted different things. Ted then eventually found his dream woman and lived out the romance story he always wanted. Until she died. Poetic tragedy.


    Then years later he realized that all those things that kept he and Robin apart really did not matter anymore. Partly because he had lived his dream life already and partly because he and Robin truly knew one another and now truly accepted each other for what they are.


    Beautiful symmetry to me.

Because they had just destroyed everyone's expectations in one fell swoop. I mean, EVERY SINGLE ONE was obliterated. Well except for those people who still shipped Ted and Robin.



    I've never seen a show actually kill itself this hard before. And in the finale no less! This could very well make people never want to watch this show ever again! It's incredible just how many people they've pissed off.

    There are T/R shippers that hated the episode. It was that bad. Most people think it sucked.
    How did this happen?! Seriously, if they wanted it to make it easier to part ways with the show there are better ways to do it!

    They should have spent more time on the timeframe between 2013 and 2030. Ted and Tracy should have met no later than episode 200 and then they could have spent the remaining episodes on these years. Instead they wasted 20 episodes on a wedding that shouldn't have happened in the first place

    And the one with Barney and the Playbook, the cigar in the bar with Carl, Robin/Barney with the bottle... or have I just missed this in my current anger? :P

    Actually, Cristin didn't say that the theory wasn't true. She said the theory was "crazy". And that was only because someone asked her about the theory directly. She didn't volunteer the information, and she didn't say one way or the other whether the mother died.

    So awful... Future Ted tried to sell us that Barney & Robin where meant to be.
    Oh, man! They destroyed "The Final Page" for me!!!! It was my favorite episode ever and now it means nothing!!!

    I'm not even angry. I can't get to angry. I'm just disappointed. And grumpy that I spent an hour I should've been studying watching that. I mean, really? I think the worst part is that the finale just doesn't work with the episodes that came before it. It feels completely at odds with the rest of the season. If this last season, or maybe season and a half, had gone another way, would it have worked with the rest of the series? Yes; what happened with the Mother (miss you already, Tracy!) would still feel like a cop-out, and I'd still be annoyed with the Ted/Robin story coming back, but it could have worked. But instead they spent all this time building up Barney and Robin just to break them up again (why did you get them engaged in the first place?!?!?); letting Ted FINALLY move on from Robin just to put them back together again; and then all the importance put on the Mother (the title is officially wrong now), spending so much time on her in the last season, just to have her die offscreen and quickly move on to that blue french horn scene.


    The thing is, it's not like this is a twist ending. People have been speculating this ending since the very beginning of the series. But with lead up this got, nobody thought they'd do it, because it MADE NO SENSE. It's still a great series overall, but this was a terrible, disappointing, cop-out of a finale.


    On the other hand, I'm not sad about the show ending anymore, so ... yay?

    And what was the point of spending a whole season on Barney and Robin's wedding and get them divorced three seconds later.

    And once again, I am not even a B/R shipper.

    They separated because Robin didn't want to get married, didn't want kids, and wanted to pursue a career, and Ted wanted to get married, wanted kids, and wanted to stay in New York. They didn't end at all badly, they ended because they wanted different things. Which they did. And then got together. And clearly it's not just sex--the writers obviously perceived them as true loves and endgame from the get-go. There's obviously a reason they still love each other after decades of being with other people.


    So they seemed to work out better than Barney/Robin did in either of their relationships.

    I couldn't care less about Barney and Robin. When they said they got a divorce, I was like "meh, makes sense, they never really had chemistry together!", but those last 5 minutes. And to add insult, that twist had been there for as far back as season 2!

    Completely agree. I'm still thinking it's all a big joke (it has to be!)... I mean they've been building on the Robin/Barney for a season and a half and then devote a couple of minutes on tearing them apart... plus Robin basically abandoning the rest of the gang in he future years.. I always felt this show was about amazing relationship/friendships between the 5 people, and I feel that is just waste in this episode... how can the writers do this to us?!

    I never ever ever plan on seeing this mess of a series finale ever again. Maybe in time I'll forget about ti and it won;t tarnish my memory of the show when I am , say 50.

    The 9th season DVD now should be only the final 2 episodes, and the flashfowards, and the episode of the Mother. NOBODY will watch a whole season of a weading that ends in the first 15 min of the finale.

    I feel the same, but I have to watch it at least 2 more times to make a review... maybe I'll kill myself in the way
