I don't think you missed much.

Gotta admit, Marshall dying was a shocker.

[(Anonymous)]

omg, spoilers!!!

[(Anonymous)]

It was such a blow, just three episodes after Barney was hospitalised for Mega Syphilis :C

[(Anonymous)]

The news he'd given it to Lily was the bit that changed things forever, for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah not worth it to find out. I was a casual viewer, watched whatever episode was on TV when my brother would be watching it. I thought it was a cute show and I got to know the main characters fairly well...and yeah, the show's ending was terrible.

[(Anonymous)]

I used to think about writing a fic for this show, where Barney would finally get prosecuted for sexual assault, and his friends would have to come to terms with how they'd enabled him all those years.

[(Anonymous)]

HIMYM/L&O:SVU crossover idea right there

[(Anonymous)]

...I'd read this fic

[(Anonymous)]

And Ted got prosecuted for being a creepy stalker and dropped by all his friends who got tired of being told that only his goals were worth anything.

It didn't actually matter who the mother was in the end anyway, she was essentially a seat-warmer and the entire show being about discovering her identity was rendered pretty pointless.

So don't feel bad not having watched it to the end, in a way you're probably preserving the nicer memories of the show better than the rest of us by doing that!

[(Anonymous)]

They're making a spin-off/rip-off series now called How I Met Your Father.

It sounds boring.

[(Anonymous)]

It is a bit on the dull side, but I do like it’s more diverse casting choices.

[(Anonymous)]

I was rooting for their mom to turn out to be the cockamouse.

[(Anonymous)]

Cockamouse was my favorite episode

I'm sort of amazed.

[(Anonymous)]

At the time of the finale, people seemed to be talking about it all over the place because of how terrible it was. And it comes up every time there's a list of bad show endings or how a show went wrong. So, for you to have been able to ignore all that is something. Anyway because of the ending, it doesn't matter who the mother is, she turned out to pretty much be a McGuffin in the story. The writers went with the ending they had planned in 2006, ignoring most of the character development since then - seriously, they taped the future kids' part then and just stuck with it.

Re: I'm sort of amazed.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I've never even seen the show and I know about the ending, because of how often people rant about it.

But hell, even I could look at the description of it and go, "..wtf?" at the storyline, so yeah, I echo the others here who say that it doesn't seem like you're missing much there, OP.

Re: I'm sort of amazed.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you can really tell that they wrote the last season around the ending because they undid a lot of great character building to give us that ending.
Let's undo multiple seasons of character growth individually and together as a couple for Barney and Robin just so that they can call back to Ted and Robin's first date.

Like I get what they were going for. Subverting our expectations by making a huge deal about the MOTHER but in actuality the real love story all along was about Ted and Robin...but like why bother making Barney and Robin's growth so good to completely undo it all? I'm not even a huge fan of the show but they did Barney and Robin so dirty. I mean not just as a couple but individual characters.
