How I Met Your Mother (spoilers)

MissyC979 · April 2014

Who watched the series finale? I am so pissed. That ending was bullshit.

imrachellea · April 2014

AGREED! I told DH I was NOT happy

But I cried so much at "that" moment with Barney. Love.

MissyC979 · April 2014

Yes! I got teary with Barney and I also cried when the Mother died. Even though I wasn't connected to her at all...I have problems.

jy725 · April 2014

I liked it. I suspected the mother would die. It was very sad. I actually didn't see the ending coming with Robin. I don't know how I feel about it overall.

melco19 · April 2014

I hated the ending too. I suspected it would happen somehow but I didn't like it at all.

SarahF20 · April 2014

I can't decide if I loved it or hated it. I've watched the show from the beginning and this is just not how I thought it would end.

tyedyeme12 · April 2014

EMOTIONS. Seriously, I have so many feelings and I can't make sense of them.

SusanC111 · April 2014

I told DH I need to process for awhile. I'm just not sure....

My thoughts are all jumbled up!

Oh FFS

Kermode61581 · April 2014

blah

the only part I liked was the barney moment

jaykay627 · April 2014

I didn't like it AT ALL for the following reasons: 1) I don't like that Barney and Robin got a divorce. Boo. I wanted them to stay together! 2) I don't like that the mom died. What's the point of that? Oh yeah, so Ted and Robin could be together, which leads me to 3) anticlimactic ending with Ted and Robin getting back together. Boo!!!!!

SusanC111 · April 2014

Did you guys watch the show after, Friends with Better Lives? I was surprised that it was pretty funny! And, SPOILERS

a proposal in ep 1, just like HIMYM. Maybe a good replacement?

notkateanymore · April 2014

I didn't hate it.

thebobloblaw · April 2014

I wasn't impressed either. Maybe it was the gray hairs. Or the depressing music throughout the entire episode. Would have much rather enjoyed Barney and robin having a baby and the mom not dying.

linzy2202 · April 2014

I've watched from the beginning but only live the past couple years. others were from Netflix. I just felt like the ending was so sudden (for some reason) and I'm so sad it's over. I get an unnatural attachment to tv characters, book characters are even worse. I have issues. I adore the Barney part, I just knew he had to have a girl, world coming full circle. But yes, very unexpected about the mother for me. But, I always wanted robin and ted to end up together. Maybe they'll make a movie of their wedding like sex and the city did afterwards.

canicksmom · April 2014

I liked most of the finale. Of course, I got fed up/bored after the first couple of eps this season and quit watching. So, maybe that contributed to appreciating neatly tied up loose ends.

n8swife · April 2014

I had a feeling the mom was going to die because they hinted at it a few episodes back. It makes me sad. I'm not a fan of Robin so I didn't want them to end up together.

Oh and I ugly cried when Barney met his baby!!

KFiori1 · April 2014

Blah! I mean I definitely cried at times but there were so many things I did not like!

1) Barney and Robin getting divorced. I love them together
2) Robin basically ditching the gang
3) Ted's wife dying, even though I knew she was going to
4_ Ted and Robin ending up together. So over them!

sportsmomma · April 2014

Terrible finale to top off a terrible season. It definitely makes it easier to see it go.

notkateanymore · April 2014

Basically it was the most realistic way to end the series. Oh and they shot the ending 9 years ago, so it was always going to be this.

amberpro · April 2014

I actually liked it (UO?). I had heard the Ted/Robin thing a few weeks ago, though, so I was prepared for that.

I liked how they kept cutting back and forth into the future, and the Barney scene made up for anything I didn't care for. I was sobbing. The look on his face... you can tell he's a parent. It was beautiful.

I wish the kids' reaction was a little more tempered, I guess. And that a little more time was spent on the mom's death. But I can see why they didn't. It would have probably changed the tone they were going for. Overall, enjoyable, though.

lba0614 · April 2014

I thought it was really good...im surprised to see how many people hated it!

I was never necessarily a huge fan of Ted and Robin, but the show definitely ended how it should have in my opinion at least.

Danicali · April 2014

I actually liked the ending. I felt like it gave us a reason as to why in most of the stories he talked up Robin.. Because he was ready to be in love again after losing his wife.

and yes- the Barney scene with his new baby was priceless..

And for the people saying they didn't show the mom enough...it wasn't about the mom, it was about Ted's journey.

A part of me knows that, and they certainly did a good job of that. But the rest of me is annoyed because they did such a good job of making me fall in love with her, and I'm sad that we didn't get to see more of her. I know a happy in love with little conflict story doesn't make for great tv, but I'd love to see it.

I didn't either. I just watched it and based on everyone's reactions I thought it would be way worse. A lot of people were saying the end cheapened Ted's relationship with the mom but I didn't think so...It was made very clear how much Ted loved her. And who says you can't be happy twice. Yea, I could have done without the Barney and Robin divorce since I thought they were cute together. They kinda just threw that away. I've clearly put a lot of thought into it since this IS real life and all

thebobloblaw · April 2014

I don't think the Barney and Robin divorce would have been so horrible if they hadn't if spent the ENTIRE SEASON at their wedding. If the plan was for Ted and Robin to end up together I think they should have steered the last season in a different direction at least.

notkateanymore · April 2014

They spent the whole season there, but for awhile it looked like they might not even get married...

peitri · April 2014

I guess my early UO is that I didn't hate the ending. I felt like it was very realistic and made sense, even though many parts were sad. I feel like all my questions were answered, and I'm okay with how things turned out.

My fav part was definitely Barney with his baby girl. Maybe because I have a baby girl and can relate, but I teared up, and I never cry at tv shows or movies.

MissyC979 · April 2014

But what about the pineapple???

OMG yes!!! I mean, he said he didn't know, but I still hoped.

sindorato · April 2014

It was horrible; I hated it.

1) So annoyed they wasted an entire season on Barney and Robins wedding only to have them divorce so easily like it was no big deal; so much for them fighting for their relationship (a big theme of the last season). They could've used those episodes to wrap up the series a little better. Lilly and Marshall could've been wrapped up much better.

2) I feel like the ending ruined everything I thought the mother was made out to be. All along she was made out to be the absolute love of his life with all these moments of fate leading up to them getting together, but the ending made it seem like Robin is actually the love of his life. Was he in love with Robin while he was with the mother?

I just hated it.
