But after some thought and time to let it sink in I realized that this ending was not as bad as I originally thought. I felt like this made the whole series pointless, but it didn't, it just made season 9 pointless.
This episode gave all of the characters closure, although barney's I was not happy with. Ted definitely got the most closure. The final scene pays homage to the pilot and reminds you of why the series is so great. I thought at first that this episode ruined the whole series for me, it did not, they just made a huge mistake by making the whole 9th season take place at the wedding. All in all it was disappointing but does not deserve most of the hate it is receiving.
