Ok. So if you're like me, you have followed CBS's How I Met Your Mother for years. Great show. I just love Neil Patrick Harris.
Regardless of your thoughts, It just seemed to really fall flat for me last night. What did you think?
Most of the last season has been set in one weekend: Robin and Barney's wedding, where Tracy was the bass player in the wedding band. The final episode skips through several years, where we learn that the marriage of Robin and Barney (played by Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris) splits up because of her success as a television correspondent. Barney has a baby through a one-night stand and Marshall and Lily (played by Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan) have three kids and he becomes a judge.
Ted and Tracy get married after a long engagement and the kids, but she gets sick and dies, a development that many fans speculated upon in recent weeks because of a foreshadowing in an earlier episode.
After that, Ted wraps up the story — how I met your mother — that he had been telling his children throughout the length of the show.
The children, however, tell him that it's also a story about how he loves their Aunt Robin. They say his attraction to her is obvious and that he should ask her on a date.
"C'mon, dad," said the daughter, played by Lyndsy Fonseca. "Mom's gone for six years now. It's time."
Ted and Robin dated early in the show's history and seemed a natural match. Yet the producers made clear that Robin was not the "mother" of the title, disappointing many of the show's fans at the time.
The children urge Ted to pick up the phone and call Robin. He thinks better of it and drives to her apartment. She opens the window to see him holding a blue horn — a reference to a story from when they had dated — and the series ends.
Come ON?!!! Are you kidding me? Even though there looks to be a spin off with a whole new cast, you can't just end like that. However, what had happened was, they sure did.
For all things entertaining style, follow me your
