HIMYM Series Finale - Predictable, true to form, and all you complainers can suck it!

I am disappointed. Not because of the series finale, but because the show is over. It has given me 9 years of being involved in a story line other than my own, and I loved it...for the most part.

While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, we now live in a day and age that allows us to air our sometimes asinine opinions for all to read. For those of you who were disappointed with the How I Met Your Mother Series finale, your opinion, in my opinion, falls into the "asinine" category.

The show was entitled "How I Met Your Mother," yet, the mother doesn't appear for 8 seasons. Speculation over the mother dying at the end of the show, began very early on in the series. There was no surprise there. The show centered around the core group - their friendship, their love, their stories - and Ted's search to find the woman he could spend the rest of his life with. From Episode 1, Ted falls instantly head-over-heels in love with Robin. For the first few seasons he tries again and again to be with Robin, however, his advances are ignored, rejected, or put on hold. We all know Robin is the one for him, but Robin was never ready to settle down. Even when she does eventually marry Barney, they get divorced, because Robin wants to travel and focus on her career. And Ted...well Ted wasn't going to wait forever.

The final season introduces the mother, and last night's series finale shows Ted as the type of man that the show's executive producers, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, were careful to always portray. Ted tells his children that when he met their mother he knew: "I have to love this woman as much as I can, for as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second." And he did just that, even when she was lying sick in bed. He loved her.

But the show held true to its nature, and with his children's blessing (since it had been 6 years since their mother's death), Ted went to get his Robin...twenty-five years after he first told her that he loved her. It's about time.

I think it was an epic love story, thrown into a sitcom with lively characters and catchphrases that we will be saying for years to come.

So to those of you who enjoy complaining that the HIMYM Series finale was a disappointment? To you, I say, "Youuuuuu son of a beetch!"
