Alternate cut of ending
Someone edited a cut where the show ends with the train scene.
Edit: Screw it I think I'm pulling a 180. Just rewatched the real ending with Ted holding the blue horn up in the air and it is definitely in the spirit of the show to end like that. Still pissed at how they handled the Barney situation, but I don't feel the Ted/Mother situation was cheapened by anything. And The Mother also turned the page to the next love of her life after the passing of her boyfriend. But things happen, and you have to move on as best you can. In short...
TED and ROBIN FOREVER!!!

But they allowed that page to be turned by showing her emotion of the events.
They showed her after the funeral. They told a story (even if only briefly) that she went years without dating. Then they had a very emotional scene where she couldn't move on without a sign that it was okay.
Instead, they gloss over her death, and make a joke of Ted moving on. Literally. The progression of grief to acceptance is shown through a joke.
"You are totally in to Aunt Robin." "Here I am telling a story that is straight to the point about your mother." **Laughter**
Had Ted met and married Tracy in Season 1, she died in Season 5, and then the series ended with him wanting to date Robin, that is acceptable. We as viewers would be able to scale time and acceptance. Yes, people DO move on. A man who becomes a widower at 50 will likely date again. However, you cannot make your viewers fall in love with a character, kill her off, and have them move on all in a 2 minute span.

And if they had ended it with that, everything would be fine. We'd be bitching about minor flaws of the finale instead of debating the validity of the entire premise of the show.
On another note, the producers knew what was going to happen for 8 years...yet in two flash forwards from previous seasons of Ted's wedding, the ceremony looks completely different. For a show that is supposedly so "self-aware" that is pretty lazy.
