Spin-off has nothing to do with these characters
Well shite, I thought it was from the mother's point of view, not a totally different set of people.
Definitely not watching now.

It bugged me that it took him 6 years to marry her

No kidding. 6 years and 2 kids. He proposed after 1 year. The. They just didn't worry about it?
Did they ever really explain why?

Me too, that was out of character

Yeah, me too. Think about that the next you see the episode where Ted has that great proposal at the lighthouse. That proposal ended up expiring and they had to do it again. In the end, they were only married for roughly 4 years.
Everything about it all was so weird and out of of sorts. The writers really did everything they could to minimize Ted & Tracy's relationship.

Life and kids got in the way is what he said and supposedly Barney having a kid was the kick in the pants he needed to do it small right then instead of in a castle... Way too out of character for Ted.

At first it was because he knocked her up and she didn't want to be pregnant during her wedding.

Because life got busy and they couldn't find time for Ted's dream of a fairytale wedding.....
Seems like a copout because the writers believe the audience will buy into that being a classic Ted thing to do. However, in the reality of the show, Ted probably wouldn't wait that long because he wouldn't care where or how he married his soulmate.

Anyone else surprised they didnt have some kind of after show or anything? Seems like every show that goes longer than 3 seasons now how some heart felt after show where everyone is sad and happy blah blah blah. Actors takes on the ending and all?
Not saying Im sad there wasnt one just saying surprised there wasnt one

Yep. In an earlier season, he mentioned how their mom loved him because of all his quirks, like falling in love too quickly and what not. You are going to tell me the guy that waited all night on his roof for his pumpkin to show up (which they even mentioned in the episode), and who did a rain dance all day to make it rain, would have just gotten too busy to have his dream wedding? Hell no.
That whole thing was incredibly unbelievable.

Yeah, really hard to believe they made what could have been a emotional, heartfelt finale into something that felt so jagged, disorganized, and rushed.

That is what was most insane. Why cram all that into one episode? 22 episodes of a finale season, and you spend 21 on 3 days, and 1 on 19 years.

And more than a few of those episodes spent a significant amount of time on storylines such as Barney trying to hook up his mom with his dad, the swarm of old relatives at the hotel, and whether or not Ted got Lilly & Marshall a wedding gift.
All of us who were pissed at those filler episodes are now exonerated.

That's what my wife hated about the episode.
They spent this whole season on shitty filler, and then crammed it into this one episode.
She would have liked to see them do this over the course of the entire season.

Exactly what I texted my gf. I said it's bs that they spend entire season on a couple days of a couple that gets divorced and like no time on how he actually "met the mother"
Posted on 4/1/14 at 1:47 pm to wish i was tebow
I think they should have spent the entire season jumping around between the wedding, and then the next 20 years. Would have made the payoff A LOT better.
We would KNOW they get divorced, know the mother dies, etc. And had interactions with the group over the years, the separations, etc etc.

I'm ok with Ted and Robin only if Ted has the same type of talk with the sky that the mother had before she moved on from her dead ex. That didn't happen and kills the last scene for me, but otherwise there were a lot of throwback moments in this last episode.
That would've been awesome if Ted could've had that same talk with the dead mother in Heaven. That would've thrown it back to the talk she had with the sky, and would've been a sweet, sentimental way to bring some closure to it. Instead, we get the kids being like "get over it, dad, jeez...it's been SIX YEARS since mom died." That just cheapened a lot of it for me.
Like I said (and most have as well), it wasn't the ending, but rather how they executed it that sucked. A lot of really important things felt like they got cheated.

Agreed.
I would have had a scene where te is talking with Lily and Marshall, and they give him the whole six year speech, not the kids. Then he has the sky conversation, then goes to see Robin. Then they cut bak to him at the train station, do the TM scene, and then cut to a huge montage of all the close encounters they had. That's how I met your mother. Done.
ETA: that's just for the final ending. There is a lot that needs to e changed about the final season for that to work.
