Having just watched the season finale of How I Met Your Mother last night, I must say that I was reasonably impressed by how the last season ended. Sure, we didn't get any further towards finding out the true identity of Ted's true love but we really got somewhere with Barney and that is what most people want to see at this point, I hazard a guess at.
It may just be me but I think that Barney is getting married to Robyn. I think it was acknowledged in earlier season that they didn't end up together but I just get the feeling that the lingering look from Robyn as Barney met Nora again tells us more about her character than it does for Barney. I think it is clear at this point that there is still something between them and I fully expect to see that examined in more detail before we eventually see Barney settle down with whomever it is he eventually does settle down with. Could it be Robyn? Maybe. I don't think it is going to be Nora at this point because it really closes the door on Robyn finding love. I think there is definitely still a chance there.
As for Ted's little joke about how he eventually met the mother, I felt like smashing his face into a million tiny little pieces after that. My mouth fell open as the lily was passed to the anonymous woman in the café and Ted proudly announced that this was the mother. That carpet was snatched away from us and I really hated that part. I think I may be the only person who would like to see something develop with Ted because it would presumably signal the end of the show. Still, I still think that they continue it when Ted does meet his true love. I just feel as though it is stalling for time, similar to what Lost did when it didn't know where to go.
Marshall and Lily being pregnant was amazing, if a little bit predictable. Still, it feel like a long journey since they decided to try for a baby and I am glad that they are being rewarded for their perseverance. That being said, you never find out what happened with Marshall's job interview, do you? Maybe they will elaborate on it in the next season. One can only hope that he got it.
It was a good episode and I am already looking forward to the next season.
