I didn't like how How I Met Your Mother ended. I mean, I've only watched fifteen or so episodes, but it is still grating how the writers had Barney and Robin marry each other, only to break up a year later, just so Ted can be with her. On second thought, that's fine, except that I felt that the execution of it was very poor. They dedicate an entire episode towards their wedding, and I am willing to bet two of my American dollars that they had build-up towards it. Then the writers destroy that by having the couple break up. We go through a flashback montage where Barney has a kid, Robin goes traveling, and that other couple has more kids. Then we have Ted propose to that Tracy girl and eventually have that wedding. Sometime after, the Tracy girl falls ill and dies after having two of Ted's kids. Then we flashback to right back after Barney's wedding, where we learn how Ted meets the mother of their kids. So he's done telling the story, and all of a sudden, it turns out that the story is all about how he wants to get with Robin who is conveniently single (as is Ted, because his wife died six years prior), as his kids point out. I mean, I like surprises, but this just came out of the blue with no suspense-building whatsoever, and I just feel like I didn't like how the show ended. I am dissatisfied, as a result. ---
