How I Met Your Mother: Last Forever: Part One (2014)
Modern Classicism
HIMYM Last Forever (Spoiler Alert- Please don't read if you haven't seen the episode/ the 9 seasons; please do read if you have):
Was it the perfect end? No, definitely not. Was it a more realistic end? I wouldn't say so. Barney- Robin not breaking up, Mother- not dying, is an equally realistic end. I mean if they had chosen that ending, everyone today would be like 'Wow, what a love story!! I am still crying....". So, why did they choose this ending?
Maybe they wanted to convey something which we missed in our anger. I mean they are the creators- they have had you glued to the show since 9 seasons, its safe to presume that they really wouldn't throw away the end, especially when it is so clear to everyone. The end was certainly not something which a person can naturally accept as an ending. You have to think about it, justify it to yourself- something which we never really had to do before.
The creators, in their last episode, subtly conveyed to us, the essence of all the 9 seasons. Life won't be perfect. There will be points in life when everything seems perfect, but they won't last forever. You will always have to move forward, love, be awesome and stay happy.
Love is supreme. Its the best thing we do. Just because Ted goes back to Robin, does it mean the mother was just a stepping stone. I mean really, wow? Just because Barney and Robin get divorced does it mean they didn't love each other? Really...? (sense sarcasm) Life keeps on moving forward. All we can try is to be happy, awesome, and love our hearts out because there really isn't anything else worth doing in this life. Was the ending perfect? No, it was beautiful. The story the creators chose to tell us wasn't a fairy tale, it was messy, yet it left a smile on our faces. In my opinion, the creators are geniuses.
#HIMYM Thank you for 9 legendary years.
How I Met Your Mother: Last Forever: Part Two (2014)
Life happened to HIMYM
CONTAINS SPOILERS
This season's and the previous one's highlight has been that everything came back. All unanswered questions were answered. These two seasons were truly meant for the fans. The 2 Last Forever episodes were especially fast paced, and showed how the relationships evolve as everyone gets older. Barney and Robin's marriage falling apart came as shock to many of us. Robin's absence from 'the big moments' too was saddening. How Barney became a father provided the episode with a touch of humor, but his first moments, and his subsequent ordeals with his baby daughter were heart touching. Throughout the episode I was hoping that Barney and Robin got together. But the creators had something else in store for us. The episode just didn't end at '... and that kids, was how I met your mother'. There was more. Ted, the blue French horn, Robin- it ended the way it started. Now, people may say Ted never grew up, Robin was always 'the one'. But is that really true? If Barney and Robin couldn't work out, there is no way Ted-Robin could have. And who knows they might not still. But that is not the point, is it. The point is life is about moving on, loving. Love is pristine. It is the best thing we do. It doesn't need to make sense to make sense (Oh Ted...). So, the ending, in my opinion at least, wasn't just about Ted getting back with Robin, it was all the above plus some more which I yet am unable to pen down; hopefully some of you will understand.
AWESOMEST SHOW EVER.
