re: HIMYM The Final Season

I bought into it because they actually had fun together (laser tag; feeling up exhibits at the museum; dancing at whoever's wedding that was a couple seasons back) and Barney had legit grown up and has had the best character development over the past 2-3 seasons. His whole insane proposal which worked (the final play) and everything about them was the biggest storyline to me for the latter part of the series.

I just think by putting Barney and Robin together they created the ever frustrating love triangle that is always a headache for the viewers. Plus I think they have basically castrated Barney's character. It would be one thing for him to end up with a stripper, but to end up with Robin is just wrong for his character in my opinion. Especially since they are dead set on Ted never getting over her. It just made the last few seasons frustrating.

and now she's still thinking about Ted because he's "dependable". Well no shite you selfish bitch!

And Barney will never be truly dependable for the reasons that Robin's mother said when she was talking about Robin's father (and thus Barney).
