I have to admit the series from season five to the 22nd episode of season 9 was bit of a drag... The jokes got immature and boring, the plot and the idea was turning out to become way too long and unconvincing and then of course the saddest disappointment of all "the Mother"... I swear when she first made her appearance I was like oh f**k this no more HIMYM from now on that's about it! But fortunately I managed to continue watching this series till this very episode, a clever and well-scripted finale which kind of made the whole series into a master piece and self-explanatory (it was like a come back to all the anti-jokes regarding it's lengthiness and also "the Mother").
I watched the the first few minutes of this episode expecting it to be awful like the rest before it, then the next few minutes thinking oh this isn't so bad as i expected and then for the rest of it I was completely wired into it. I have to mention that I for one always wanted Ted to actually end up with Robin ever since the very first episode she showed up. In fact the Ted-Robin plot was the only reason that got me to the very last episode of this series (that and the songs and Barney's catch phrases). You could probably imagine how depressed I was most of time let alone during just this episode but also the whole season. I even started hating Barney for being the third wheel. Anyway, when Barney and Robin got divorced in between this episode I thought it's better for Robin to die alone and sad than to die married to anyone but Ted (I still wasn't expecting Ted and Robin to end up together). So the Last bit, absolute joy and pleasure, made almost 9 years of my life worth every second. Robin's smile at the end would definitely linger in my mind for quite some time.
