How I Met Your Mother part 2

Now that I’ve already talked about the good parts in How I Met Your Mother, I can finally go into a rant about all the parts that I didn’t like about it.

                Well one thing that I really didn’t like was that it didn’t show the mother until the very, very, very end. I thought it would have been cool to see how Ted and the mother grew up before she got sick but instead it just showed all the interactions Ted had with all of his friends. Don’t get me wrong here, I loved that part too because it made me realize that true friends are always going to be there for you no matter what happens in your life, but I thought it probably would have been a little nicer to talk more about the interactions with Ted and the mother.

                Another thing that I didn’t like, which is more based just on the story line rather than the actual outcome of the show, was how Barney and Robin got divorced after 3 years of being married. I thought by seeing Barney finally choose to settle down, he was finally changing and being a normal person rather than the crazy person we all watched him be. But when they got divorced, it kind of showed me that maybe he wasn’t ready to be normal and grow up, which I was kind of sad about.

                Going off of that point, I would like to address the part that gave me the most mixed feelings and that was the very end of the show when Ted came to Robin with the blue French horn. I may have already talked about this in my last post but this is just a part that sticks in my head so clearly because I never thought it was going to happen. I thought instead everyone was going to live happily ever after and nothing bad was going to happen and they were all just going to grow old and grey together but instead everything changed and it made you question everything the characters ever said in the show. The part that really got to me was when Robin was just about to get married and Ted realized that he had to let her go so she could be happy with Barney, but you still see times where you know that he isn’t over her and it makes you wonder why they never got together in the first place.

                As you can probably see, I still need time to think this all though and try and make sense out of everything that happened in the best show imaginable. If I think of anything, I’ll be sure to post about it. Oh and one more thing, I’m sorry to all of those who read this without watching the ending and seeing all the spoils!!!
