All Good Things Must Come To An End: How I Met Your Mother Last Season Finalé (for, like, EVER!)

Or in The Walking Dead's context, it's Terminus. Har dee har har. Okay, before I talk about HIMYM's last episode ever (sob), lemme talk about TWD. That was one disturbing season-ender, eh? It has happened before and it happened again last night- Rick zoning out and acting all crazy and never had I expected, not even once, that he'd bite a live man's neck off. The zombies are rubbing off on him. Hi hi hi. So yeah, Terminus is a cannibals lair and looks like we're starting next season with that. Many fans said that the ending was a bit lacking and anti-climactic whereas I think it was an awesome ending to TWD's fourth season. Bitin nga lang. Although I still am curious as to where has Beth gone. I am curious as to Beth's whereabouts while her sister, Maggie, is not. Sshh...don't tell Beth that, she already has enough issues to begin with. Haha. Whatever. Now back to regular programming...

Fug you, HIMYM, for once again letting me believe in love and that good things come to those who wait. Sumuko na ako eh but I got my hopes up once again after watching. Dammit.

One of the best series I absolutely love and adore and I have Ycel to thank for introducing me. I got into it a little bit late- around the third or fourth season, I think. But nevertheless, it was LEGEN-wait for it- DARY! This was one series I never have to give unconditional love to and stay with through thick and thin because for nine seasons it has been nothing but awesome, awesome and AWESOME. Of course there were a few boring episodes but it was mostly a weekly (for six months) dose of fun. And now it's over. Another one off the TV SERIES TO DL AND WATCH LIST.

Just a few minutes into the second to the last episode, I was already crying. [Ang OA ko] It was during that scene when Ted was saying his goodbyes to his friends. But of course he doesn't move to Chicago because "he met a girl" who turned out to be the girl.

Honestly, I wasn't too fond of the mother when I first saw her. I noticed that she has a lisp when she talks and that she's a less cute version of Lily. I wanted someone better for Ted. But The Mother eventually grows on you and I guess that is why they introduced her earlier than what I expected- I thought The Mother's identity would be revealed at the very last episode. It was not. They gave us ample time to fall in love with her as well.

Anyway... last Saturday, my cousin and I were discussing about the then-impending end of HIMYM. We were coming up with different assumptions as to how the series would end. My cousin hit it spot on- that The Mother would die and Ted and Robin would end up together. What we didn't see coming was Robin and Barney's divorce. It was sad. But I guess it was also that divorce that made Robin realize that she loves Ted. And what was supposed to be Ted's exit strategy to avoid getting hurt seeing Barney and Robin together, became Robin's instead. For Robin, Ted was "the one who got away" and her absence was more of avoiding seeing Ted happily married to another rather than her busyness. I sort of liked this twist. Seriously, I never saw it coming. I really believed that Barney and Robin would live happily ever after. But as they say, things fall apart so better things can fall together.

The kids were right. This story wasn't about their mother, it was about Ted and Robin.

I would most definitely miss this. It's a different thing when you know they're not coming back again on September. By now I should know how to deal with the loss of a beloved TV series. I've been here before, several times. I hope they don't do a spin-off out of it and just let it be. I will miss Mosby. I want my own Mosby.

You will be missed.
