HIMYM

Anyone else excited for the series finale tonight?

Re: HIMYM

  • Yes! I hope she's not dead.

  • OH MY GOD I'M SO NERVOUS.

    For real though, I'm excited but I'm sad it's ending. I hope they end it right.

    I heard that she is not dead, but of course they'll say that.
  • She was dead! I am mad.

  • I watched it. I haven't watched much of this season, but for some reason, I've always had the impression that the mother wasn't alive and thats why Ted was telling the story. I don't get why people are so outraged by the ending. People die - its part of real life.

    I like that Ted and Robin got to end up together in the end. I think they were good together besides that they wanted different things in life, but they both got to experience the things they wanted before being together.
  • I know many people who hated the ending, but I really loved it. I thought it followed the style of the show throughout by being real and honest. People will get divorced. People will die. And sometimes you have more than one great love, but that doesn't make you love one more or less.

    hbatchel2 said - Ted & Robin both got what they ultimately wanted (he got the kids and she had a great career) and now they've found each other again.
  • Ugh I hated it. I really hated that they spent an entire season on this wedding, and then had them divorced 10 minutes into the finale. Seriously?

    I'm also just really sad that Ted didn't get the life that he wanted with her. They seemed so perfect together.
    DH made me rewatch episode 19, where Ted and the mother are having dinner at the Farhampton, and at the end of the episode, the mother says (about Robin's mom showing up to the wedding) "That's not really a surprise - what kind of mother wouldn't be at her own daughter's wedding?" and then Ted starts to cry and the mom tears up and changes the subject. Makes a lot more sense now... she knows she won't be there for her daughter. So sad.

    I did absolutely LOVE Barney and his daughter. I thought that scene was so beautiful and so perfect. They nailed that one.

    The rest of it? Eh. I'm disappointed.

  • Overall I enjoyed it.
    I liked how they wrapped up all the stories. I hated how quickly it went from the mother dying to "you should ask Aunt Robin out!" It was like 5 seconds! It was such a shock at first. That scene bugged me so much. I didn't know until later that they filmed the kids doing that part during season 2, but it was obvious to me that it was done in 2 different rooms because of the obnoxious way the camera went back and forth. I didn't think the kids' enthusiasm matched Ted's mood either. It felt so off to me.

    I've heard a lot of people say this, but to me it really shows real life. People focus sooooo much on weddings and that big day, but the don't stop to ponder the rest of their lives and what will happen. It was this huge lead up to the wedding only to have it come crashing down, but how often is that reality?

    I totally agree with @quirky75 on the scene with Ted and the kids jumping. They were super well lit and then Ted was almost in the dark. Very disorientating.
