MFBKBass5 12/27/18 10:57:26 AM #1:	Obvious spoilers. The actual mother dying, then Ted getting back with Robin is exactly how it was supposed to happen. Ted always loved Robin. She always loved him. They were perfect together. The whole moral of the story of HIMYM is that the timing of relationships are hardly ever ideal. If youre lucky, youll find the right girl at the right time. If youre slightly less lucky, youll find the right girl at the wrong time. If your heart keeps telling you over and over and over again to go for a girl, just do it! I dont know why people hated the ending. It was tragic and perfect and sweet all at the same time. Its exactly what had defined HIMYM for season after season. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA <cite>MFBKBass5 posted [p:914773390] in The origin...

They were perfect together. show had 8 seasons that could be summed up as "ted and robin dont work and he cant find a real partner until he learns this" finale: 'right but we wrote them together in season 1 episode 1' there was no moral of the story. there was a narrative written with assumption of 1 season, and a separate narrative that was written over the course of a decade, and they shot the former when they made the show and didn't consider rewriting it with the developments of the following decade, since the actors in the original cut were no longer teenagers --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:914773421] in The origin...

Mr_Biscuit 12/27/18 11:07:27 AM #14:	I think the HIMYM ending wouldve worked if the show ran 2-3 years. Ted telling the genuine love story of him and their mother while working up the courage to ask for their blessing to move on years after her death, theres something there for sure. Problem is a) show ran for-fucking-ever, as did the mystery about the mom, so the switch no longer works b) the end conversation with the kids was way too cavalier because they recorded it in SEASON ONE. It was so tonally off They took a square peg they wrote in S1 and jammed it into a round hole from like a decade later. Horrible execution of a potentially moving concept. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:914773783] in The origin...

Tyranthraxus 12/27/18 11:18:04 AM #19:	I mean from the first episode, it sets up that this is going to be some super long romcom where he finally finds true love at the end with the mother.

Mr_Biscuit 12/27/18 11:20:25 AM #22:	Mainly it just boils down to tact. The way the finale played out indicated that Robin was the true love of his life who he never ever got over and the whole mother thing was a decade-long gotcha. Even his daughter is like this story is obviously about Robin. I do believe the writers intended the message to be that the mother was his true love, his great love story, but that years later, with his kids blessing, life moves on and he and Robin found happiness together after all. Scenes from past seasons like the one where he envisions going to the mothers apartment before he met her and saying what hed give for just one more day that stuff bears out that the DESIRED takeaway was how she was always first. Its almost like he was asking HER permission to move on too. Hes envisioning that conversation in the midst of trying to finally move on. Thats powerful stuff. They really almost had a great bold ending but boy did they botch the landing. I shouldnt have to point out scenes previous seasons to decipher their actual intentions. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:914774329] in The origin...

ninjarobot_22 12/27/18 11:27:04 AM #26:	The ending made sense, but season 9 fucked it up by having the whole story focus on Barney and Robin instead of Ted and the mother. I think it would have been better if the wedding was done in like a 1 hour episode. Then have the rest of the season focus on Ted and the Mother. After that, you could have shown throughout the season Barney and Robin's relationship falling apart. Finally, give hints of the mother getting sick, leading to her passing in the penultimate episode. In the final episode flash forward 10 years later or whatever with Robin and Barney divorced already and Ted single. I think in the end it should be Robin wanting to settle down and she chase Ted, but Ted is reluctant because he loved the mother more. In the end he gives in and goes on a date with Robin. The final episode made Ted look desperate to hook up with Robin. He's like okay I met your mom then she died and I loved her yadda, yadda, can I go out with Robin now? He shouldn't be the one chasing Robin. He did that too many times. <cite>ninjarobot_22 posted [p:914774586] in The origin...

t_paynes_ghost 12/27/18 11:28:06 AM #27:	I'm watching the show again for a second time right at the last few episodes. Some notes: I enjoy Season 9 way more the second time. With my expectations set appropriately I can really enjoy the one off storylines of Season 9 and focus way less on looking forward to Ted and Mother, which we never got a lot of. I still fucking hate that Season 9 is crammed into one tiny weekend, and then the final episode is like 30 years of explosive content. This content really should have been the full season to begin with, and the wedding weekend should have been one episode. I really, really hate we didn't get to see the character development and growth of Ted and Mother. The flashback to their first date really showed a different, calm, cautious Ted that we've never seen before and based on the few flashbacks to them together we do get, they would have gotten into a lot of fun trouble, that I feel the audience really missed out on. <cite>t_paynes_ghost posted [p:914774623] in The origin...

Were this actually true, Robin would've ended up with Scooter. This is a terrible lesson to glean from the show and not what Ted actually did. He went through girl after girl after girl after girl. And most of them were good to him. Kind, understanding, funny, attractive. He fucked up every single one of them because he couldn't get his mind off Robin. The only relationship he had that was successful was with the Mother and that was an afterthought. And she died anyways. Ted didn't just "go for it". He'd constantly wade in and out of those waters and left a lot of women in his wake because he is a legit terrible person who lacks empathy and commitment. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. <cite>philsov posted [p:914774743] in The origin...

The way the finale played out indicated that Robin was the true love of his life who he never ever got over and the whole mother thing was a decade-long gotcha. Even his daughter is like this story is obviously about Robin. I do believe the writers intended the message to be that the mother was his true love, his great love story, but that years later, with his kids blessing, life moves on and he and Robin found happiness together after all. Scenes from past seasons like the one where he envisions going to the mothers apartment before he met her and saying what hed give for just one more day that stuff bears out that the DESIRED takeaway was how she was always first. Its almost like he was asking HER permission to move on too. Hes envisioning that conversation in the midst of trying to finally move on. Thats powerful stuff. They really almost had a great bold ending but boy did they botch the landing. I shouldnt have to point out scenes previous seasons to decipher their actual intentions. Yeah, I agree. <cite>ninjarobot_22 posted [p:914774905] in The origin... [t:77337911]...</cite> <quote><cite>Mr_Biscuit posted...</cite> <quote>Mainly it just boils down to tact.

MFBKBass5 12/27/18 11:46:14 AM #32:	Mr_Biscuit posted... But yes the Barney Robin breakup was fucking horrible and his full scale regression was easily the most offensive part of that entire show IMO Like what a MASSIVE waste of time This I do agree with. Was fairly depressing seeing him go back to his old ways and ruin things with Robin. I think were supposed to realize that Barneys character struggled with finding his identity, and tried making a change. In the end, his roots were just too embedded into his own character to let them go. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA <cite>MFBKBass5 posted [p:914775313] in The origin...

2SweetforTurtle 12/27/18 12:36:51 PM #33:	The issue about it being a waste of time is what truly pissed me off. Everything from the beginning of the show was meant to lead up to THE moment where he meets the kids mother. Only for that lead to two minutes of happiness. On top of that the final three seasons are dedicated to the Robin/Barney wedding for no reason. We start with their on again off again relationship and get constant flash forwards of Barney at some wedding only to eventually find out hes marrying Robin. Then a whole nother season just to get to the proposal. Then another that takes place within a weekend. Not only was that last season clearly some of their worst work in terms of actual comedy, its ruined so quickly in the last episode. Who the hell thought itd be a good idea to spend the better part of a year on their wedding, and them get divorced within the first 10 minutes of the final episode? It just wasnt good planning. If the show was truly going to be How I wanted to bang your aunt Robin it shouldve been 6 seasons max, and excluded anything and everything about Barney and Robin. --- Slow and steady wins the race <cite>2SweetforTurtle posted [p:914777308] in The origin...
