My feelings exactly. The only thing more insulting than that was how they spent years changing Barney from a cartoon to a real person only to make him turn back into a cartoon at the last second. Pathetic writing.

It was clear that the writers had run out of ideas and written themselves into a corner. They had determined the ending years ago, but kept getting renewed for more seasons. The problem is, in the meantime, they had moved the story forward in such a way that that ending didn't make sense anymore. It was one of the worst TV sitcom endings of all time.

The last 2 seasons (and most importantly, the last episode) completely ruined that series for me.

I agree with everything but the last part. I love the series and have already rewatched it once. I just never watched Season 9. The whole season is a mess, therefore i just dont let it get to me and end it there. Enjoy the rest for what it is. A great source of entertainment.

I'm far more bothered by that than the Mother/Robin reveal. They put so much groundwork into making Barney an actual character instead of just a joke delivery machine, only to have him completely regress at the end. I solve this problem by simply ignoring the final episode.
