Though it's not the ending I would have loved to have seen, it did bring the story full circle. In older Ted's mind, he started the story with how he met Robin because that is where the road to meeting the mother started(no Robin, no Robin and Barney. No Robin and Barney, no wedding. No wedding, no meeting the mother. However, his kids were also right; it was a long, drawn out story confessing his feelings for their Aunt Robin. But theres a difference between your 'true love' and your 'soul mate'. Ted and Robin were in love at first sight, but weren't ever truly happy together because they wanted different things in life; Ted wanted to settle down and have kids, while Robin wanted to focus on her job and didn't want kids (though she was genuinely sad when she was told she couldn't have any. When Ted met Tracy(the mother, he met his soul mate, the one person who he could truly be his nerdy, quirky self with and have his family with. And with his heart finally able to have the wife and kids he always wanted, his feelings for Robin were pushed to the VERY back of his mind. Once the mother died however, Robin came back into his life more and more often and therefore back into his mind. We see that Robin has an apartment in New York and once again has a mass of dogs, so we can assume that she's stopped traveling for work like she used to. Therefore, it is the perfect time for her and Ted to get together: Ted had his dream of the perfect wife and kids, and Robin had her dream of traveling the world and becoming a famous reporter. Now that they've done the things that were keeping them apart, there's nothing holding them back from being together. They were meant to be togetherjust not when they first met.
.
It's why season 9 is so drawn out; it shows just how perfect Robin and Barney are together. at that time. But when Robin gets the chance to travel for work, she puts her job before her marriage and that ultimately leads to its end. Barney reverted back to his scum-bag ways because that's his safety net; he did it after his and Robin's first go, he did it after Nora broke up with him and then again after he and Quinn broke up. The only thing able to change him for good was his one true love, the birth of his daughter. As for Ted and Tracy, sadly, 'Happily Ever After' isn't always 60, 70, 80 years down the road, and after six years, Ted realizes he is finally able to move on. If he wanted to tell the kids only about how he met Tracy, he could have started the story on the day of Robin and Barney's wedding, but instead started with the day he met Robin. 2030 Ted is retelling his entire story because he is convincing himself that, no matter how deep he buried them so that he could be happy with Tracy, his feelings for Robin are still there. And now that he IS finally able to let go of Tracy(like Tracy was finally able to let go of Max, those feelings are coming back out. Even Penny and Luke say that they've seen the way he and Robin look at each other. And after hearing their father's full story, why wouldn't they want him to finally be happy again?

I never thought Ted was in the wrong when he didn't like Robin keeping dogs from past relationships. Robin in the very same episode made Ted throw away so many things for the exact same reason. she was insecure and jealous Ted however after throwing away much of his possessions for her she reveals ALL of her dogs were gifts from past relationships in the same situation as robin he didnt like her keeping these symbols of her prior relationships around and its not fair disregard teds feelings but say Robin was totally fine to make ted throw away tons of stuff.
as a side note I DO NOT THINK Robin should have had to get rid of her dogs I only think its unfair to fault Ted for feeling insecure like robin, Ted shouldn't have had to throw away his stuff either.

Mark Hamill had to stay quiet about the change in The Empire Strikes Back of Vader being Luke's father for 3 years he didn't even told Harrison Ford. I didn't like the ending fully because I was looking forward of meeting Tracey and learn more about her in the last two seasons instead of the last season last few episodes. I didn't know she had cancer.
Fact: Neil Patrick Harrison is gay and in a lovely relationship with a wonderful man and they have two beautiful children.

Yeah I don't see how it's offensive. it's just boring because it takes too long and is well overly exaggerated. I mean it's obviously a joke since. you know they had the cast playing the masters, it's clearly an homage and a joke. It's a comedy show, why would you take it that seriously? What hire actual Chinese people to teach him fake slapping fighting styles? If anything that feels more offensive and degrading.

I used to hate how it ended bc Ted finally found his wife and then him ending up with Robin again. But now as an adult and after seeing it all over again, his kids did give him the okay to go after Robin and even if we didnt see it, Im sure Ted didnt just, run after Robin once the mother passed. Im actually okay with both endings. But from the get-go, we all knew Ted wanted to be with Robin.

Ted didn't make Robin give up her dogs. She gave them up on her own. Fans also were not offended by the silly costumes. No one in the history of comedy fandom was offended. People who had nothing better to do were probably offended though, it was a slow tuesday after all. We all know the offended people were mostly white people pretending like caring about that was somehow a good thing.

Ted made her give away all her dogs! What a jerk, right?
So we're just leaving out the part where he was forced to give away half the stuff in his house because his jealous girlfriend was angry that he still had gifts from exes? We're just leaving out the part where he's just following her logic and it's only fair for her to give away gifts from exes too?

10: 15 Lol imagine being white and so privileged you get offended on behalf of someone else and get mad at people who do find jokes predicated on jokes funny.
We all have a right to find whatever we want funny.
just like you have a right to hate on me now if you wish.
America, so beautiful!

As a Czech person, I have to say if somebody was appropriating and/or ridiculing my culture on a comedy show, I would absolutely slap the living hell out of any dumb bimbo trying to be offended on my behalf. If your pride and/or conviction cant survive ridicule, how strong is it really?

As an Asian, I never saw the issue with #2 and did think they were paying homage to Chinese films. And I thought it was funny that he was trained by Chinese counterparts of his friends.
Chinese Ted was weird and creepy, Ill give them that.

the finale just made the last 3 seasons kinda worthless. why make us care about Barney and robins if they get a divorce shortly after? Why give us all the reasons ted and robin cant be together if they end up a couple at the end?

I thought that Alicia Silverstone would of been great as Stella. She was big in the mid 90s and britney was big in the late 90s early 2000s. Sarah chalked was real good though. Especially when she was talking about Chewbacca.

Let me tell you another dark truth. NPH, Jason and Alyson are the only good people from that show irl. The other two have become crazily unhinged political activists that spread their disgusting and untrue propaganda online.

I had No idea Cobie had cancer. I hate cancer, and if I were God, it would never have existed. No one ever should have to suffer that, especially children, that's one reason I'm Anti-Christianity, which I grow up in.

I loved the way the show ended. Bittersweet with an ellipse at the end. Number one was the first episode I ever watched in full. Robin saying goodbye to the kids she'd never have. It was different.

As a chinese canadian. The slap episode was fine for me too. Probably one of my more replayed episodes too due to how ridiculous it was. The build up was perfect considered the slapsgiving saga.

The concept of appropriated costumes is so dumb. Like really? There's clothes that not everyone is allowed wear, or else people will get offended on some other people's behalf?

Ted was a jerk and even more terrible to Robin. The dog episode was such an asshole move. I'm sure the writers could've come up with some other reason to get rid of the dogs.

I used to have SUCH a crush on Marshall when the show was on the air. So learning that Jason Segal is a smoker in real life does kind of ruin him for me.

Just being honest, the Mosby kids had the best role in tv.
Few months sitting on a couch, then go do other projects while 9 years of checks roll in.

The Kung-Fu part was really funny. I doubt many fans of the show were actually upset about it. Sounds like a few loud people that started it.
