@swurlygurl: I KNOW! I was like..."wait, no...no...I thought she was sick.."
I thought the story would end with her funeral maybe, and the dad is telling them his and his mom's love story to ease the pain of the loss? But instead, he was telling his kids the story of him and Robin's love story. WTF.

@CupQuakeWalk: Yeah, super ridiculous. At first I didn't think they were even going to wrap up the death, just leave it vague with her being 'sick'. I would have liked to see something about finding out she was sick and all that heartbreak - a perfect opportunity to get your audience to cry!

I am a *little* bit glad they wrapped up why he was telling his kids about SO MANY of his other ex-gfs, and hardly at all about their mom, because that was kind of awkward. At least it makes a little bit of sense now (even though I still hate it!)

I thought the episode was pretty good until the last five minutes, then i HATED that Ted went to Robyn. Even the dying part I could handle-- sad, but you know, better to have found the love of your life and have her for 10 years than to never meet. But then he went to Robyn, who sucks. The part with Barney and Ellie was amazing though.

I saw this on Facebook and think it's how it should have ended:

I wouldn't have hated the ending if they had done the show differently. I didn't watch it regularly but after the first couple seasons it was just like PLEASE STOP LIKING ROBIN SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU. So for it to end with him still trying to get with Robin just made me smack my head. I wish they had left the possibility of some chemistry between them if that was how it was going to end.

And that's just so weird for two best friends to marry the same girl, so so weird. I wish Barney and Robin didn't get together if that's how it was going to end, they never made sense as a couple and just made the ending really awkward. And why spend a whole boring season on their wedding, they could have shown more in depth all those fast forwarded moments and still ended with how he met the mother.

@Maysprout: @pui: Hah! They probably didn't even get married because Robin's all high maintenance and fickle and would've just broken up with Ted AGAIN because that's what she does.

@Adira: Haha, they didn't show Robin's response. In my mind it was "how many times do I have to tell you old man, I don't like you like that'
