Great, great ending. I really liked how they tied the whole playbook thing in...explained the season and gave some funny looks from different angles, and it's one of the Barney character's biggest plot points so it made perfect sense. I'd rank the proposal up there with my favorites in television

This is my favorite show, so this might be long, but in a way, this episode should have been the series finale. The name and premise of the show ruins it.

The writers succeeded and failed at the same time. The story has been fantastic, outside of their main plot.

Every character on the show has gone through tremendous changes and emotional trauma, except for Ted. Lily's dad was a deadbeat, Marshall's dad died, Barney met his estranged father, and Robin has been built up and thrown down several times.

Ted has cheated on his first main girlfriend of the series, chased after the wrong girl for 7 years, and was left at the altar. Victoria was the only girlfriend in the series that had a shot to be the mother. Stella never was; neither was Zoey.

This show is about Robin and Barney. They are the emotional driving force of the show, and that is over. We just finally get to see the face of this mother.
