I am watching this episode after ten years it aired. I thought that it was a great episode when it aired, and I still think it is. Let me explain.
First of all, everyone, who watched the show when it was on, expected that they (the producers and the writers) to reveal who the mother was in the last episode. Instead, the creators of the show revealed the image of the mother in the penultimate season, and spent the last season why she is the mother; why she was the soulmate of Ted Mosby, and how they matched. And they spent one season explaining it.
I have to be honest here: when I was watching the show ten years ago, I was not expecting this, but it was a nice and surprising route for the writers to take.
Watching the final season after all these years, I can understand once more that they made the right choice.
