Also, we just got done being shown & told that Robin drifted away...but the kids call her 'Aunt Robin' and "love" her?

What?

What also bothered me was, I don't believe Barney would have given up on Robin so easily. He fought so hard to get her, and what, Robin actually wanted to be with Ted all along... despite numerous chances to have Ted and constantly wanting Barney... but then on her wedding day she realizes she should be with Ted? And…

Whoa.

I mean that makes sense ... but then if the show doesn't fit the ending you had in mind, just throw out the original ending. Don't force a long-running show into an ending that no longer works for it.

It's gonna go down as one of the worst television finales of all time. I was left stunned — just stunned at how bad it was. Every single character could have (should have) gotten a better follow-through than they did — Robin and Barney could have made it, could have been an internationally jetsetting couple (were set…

I completely agree with you, excellent rant. Seriously the only good thing to come out of this is the hilarious texts my brother was sending me this morning. He was PISSED. At least you know you are not alone!

I know. I feel like I am taking crazy pills because I have not been able to sit through an entire episode of this, because I feel like society has moved on from the laugh track, realizing that good humor doesn't actually require you to tell someone to laugh.

What I just wrote on the GT rant thread (don't judge me for the length, I've been watching this show since I was 14. 14!!!!)

ALSO there were mentions in Future Ted's stories about going over to Thanksgiving with Aunt Barney and Uncle Robin which seemed in conflict with the show's resolution.

All sitcoms with laugh tracks are LAME. End of story.

Come to think of it, are we sure that Ted Mosby didn't murder The Mother?

He basically told the story so that his kids would know their mom wasn't the love of his life. That's some messed up shit.

I don't understand how he left mid-reception, but members of the band were also leaving. That makes no sense, unless Robin and Barney threw a way shittier wedding than I anticipated. That, and his not moving were annoying, but it wasn't that bad a finale. Bittersweet. But it was better than Dexter and Lost. The only…

It should have been called " how I settled for your mother so I could have the kids I wanted and then went back to the real love of my life once she died" Horrible ending.

No, I appreciate it. I am a grammar apocalypse sometimes.

Now this is the view I wish had been in the video. Quite interesting.

I totally read this in Bane's voice, which made it even better.

Egyptians are fighting for their right to be assholes after a Local Sporting Event.

I think these chicks EXACTLY represent the student body at UA.

In fairness, that photo is among the dumbest things I've seen this week.
