I am one of the people who was not happy about the ending but I will not give a very bad rating just because of one single episode. It was a great show. I see people complaining how it is unrealistic and why Ted tells about the mother to the kids so long...What have those people been smoking? It isn't a documentary, it is a sitcom. Sure they talk about real life issues one can connect to, but they make it in unrealistic ways that makes it fun. For example, there sure are players out their, but no they don't have love affairs with their suits, have a playbook or do most of the things Barney ever did. And there are dads who tell their kids how they met the mother but they don't do it for 9 years rambling on about all the sex him and his friends had.
I love the show. It had always brought originality and very surprising twists. There were episodes where I was really not expecting how it turned out. And this is usually not the case, especially not on sitcoms. We had some running jokes that stayed fresh and funny until the very end. References to past stories were usually well thought through and made the new story even greater.
I loved the characters! Ted is the more normal one as he is the main guy looking for his love. But I never saw him as a boring douche (well at least not most of the times). he had charm and was a sweet guy who you wanted to be happy. I am usually not the main romantic but the sweet and perfect couple that Marshall and Lily were never made me want to vomit. They pretty much never disappointed me through the show and always made me laugh and feel the warmth for them. And as somebody who is not the biggest romantic I also loved Robin and Barney. Two people who are just not into relationships and yet they manage to give them more depth than just make them caricatures. All of them created by amazing writers and performed by very talented actors who made it all perfect.
Here comes why I felt the ending was not fitting. It seems the show went on longer than planned. The ending they had would have been fine after season 5. But what they did with Robin and Barney made it hard to believe how easily they fell apart after being build up for seasons. It is hard for viewers to believe now that they were not right for each other after we saw them work on their relationship together. Would I rather never see their story or have a different ending? Easy! A different ending. I loved the seasons about Barney and Robin. So I am thankful they made it longer.
Oh well. So hat there is one bad episode. 207 of them made me perfectly happy. I will really miss them now that I am done watching. So much sincerity (not the same as realism), originality, humor and also sentimental feelings combined in perfect balance.
