This post is long overdue as the finale aired three days ago but because this has been one of my favorite shows,why not weigh in on it.This could include spoilers so be warned :)
This finale stirred quite the controversy as the ending wasn't what we all wanted to see or what we expected.I read so many angry
comments expressing their disappointment of what become of a beloved sitcom
and I have to say that I agree with some of what been said but as I thought
more and more about it,the finale appealed to me more and more.And I have to add
that this ending was destined to be because the writers planned it from the start and shot all the kids scenes in the first season which is one of the reasons why I changed my mind and saw the
whole entire show in a different perspective.
For me,this 43 minutes finale was
very emotional as it was full of unexpected twists and turns that weren't all welcomed.We
also got to see their lives throughout the years which really made it special
and realistic in my opionion.It showed what truly happens to people as they
tuckle this vicious thing called life : People might get busy with their
work,people might divorce or get sick and can't finish off their journey ...A happy ending is not the end of the road.And lastly,I found turning ted to a hopeless romantic again in the very end was typical and "so him" therefore I wasn't bother by it,in fact I was amused believe it or not.
As for the things that shocked me the
most was Robin and Barney's divorce mainly because the proposal barney made for
her one or two seasons ago was the best -wait for it-one I have ever seen on
televison (yes I dared to say it) and his transformation and growth was kind of
amazing to watch so for them to break up was dissapointing.I mean the whole
final season revolved about their wedding and I was basically ready to give up
on the awesome barney and his tricks that made the show amazing especially when
it got boring seeing ted search for "the mother" but oh well they redeemed themselves with this amazing scene with him meeting his new born baby ! And
speaking of the mother which is part of the title "How I met your
mother" which is so misleading,they should've changed it because the whole
purpose of him telling this nine season long story was definitely not about how
he met her,we've been fooled.All in all,this show has surely showed some serious irony in this
finale.
Enough said I could go on and on
but I really wanted to write about one of my favorite comedies that I followed
from the very beginning which means I wasted too many hours watching it through
the thin and thick and I grew up with it in some sort so I will definitely miss
it and miss all the things that made this show "awesome",all the famous quotes,the shenanigans,the
characters and their amazing friendship..basically everything.Though this
finale didn't please everyone but I'll take it.It's been a fun ride indeed.
