I quit watching HIMYM after... 3 or 4 seasons? I can't remember. But boy, there are a lot of people on my dash who are pissed off about the finale.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, the TV critics I follow on Twitter were furious.

They stuck to the ending they planned in season 2 and then spent seven years working against it and then used it anyway. I liked a lot of the finale, but they ended the entire show wrong.

I feel like they made so many narrative decisions that were lazy, trite and boring. Disappointing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As I was just saying in Natter, I think it's ridiculous on the face of it that Ted and Robin are Meant To Be, especially so many years later. People actually can get over each other! And Robin and Barney were great together.

Agreed. The whole Destiny business annoys me SO MUCH

Linda Holmes' piece on Monkey See captures exactly how I feel about it.

That's a good piece, as is James Poniewozik's Time piece that she links to.
I was really, really hoping the show would stick the landing. I'm disappointed that it didn't, but goddamn if the actual scene where Ted meets the Mother wasn't wonderful.

That was very nice. I also liked the bit where Ted was talking to the Mother on the phone and Lily watches for a little bit and says "Not like this"

And her constant interruptions of his re-proposal. She was a delight, through and through.
