HIMYM

It's been almost a week since the last episode of HIMYM.  It's taken that long 
for me be be able to digest what I saw and to write about it. I really liked the 
show, a lot. The acting was great, but the writing was outstanding. To be able 
to keep a sit com going, fresh and popular for over 9 years is no joke.

With that said, the ending was a sell out.  There were many questions unanswered 
like, what about that pineapple? But, aside from that ( spoiler coming) THEY 
KILLED THE MOTHER!  It turns out that the show was never about how the character 
Ted met the mother Tracy.  It was about Ted getting with Robin at the end of it 
all.  Why? Why did they do that? Ted wanted kids, Robin couldn't have and didn't 
want ( but they did give her like 7 dogs... Lonely, Creepy and unnecessary) so 
Ted got his kids then good bye mom? Don't need you anymore. Sorry you died, but 
I really always loved Robin the most, so it's all ok. No tears here. 

But it was never really about the kids either.  Barney ( yes I know all of these 
people are characters, just go with it) had an oops moment and poof he's the 
reluctant dad.  It's a girl and he finally finds out what true love is, more 
than Lilly and Marshall who have 3 kids, but everything is about their 
friendship with "the gang" and Marshall's career, because Lily had a turn.  
Great parents! 

So what are we to get out of this. The writers were blasted by virtually all 
their fans and now say that there was an alternate ending, but, it's ok because 
they like the one that aired but you too can see the happier ending and learn 
about the pineapple if you buy the CD.  I  think they owed their loyal friends 
more than that. I am done!

I'll show them when  I have a sitcom.  I will NOT let my friends down with 
kitschy, pulling on the heart strings, wrap it all up in a bow, life's not happy 
, too bad, writing.  Life is hard, that's why we watch TV.  Unhappy  endings 
don't have to happen in that magical world.  UTubers have responded to that idea 
with editing a happy ending of HIMYM for us, because the writers could, or would 
not. 

Maybe it was all about money for the writers? Now you can buy a happy ending 
because we wouldn't give you one? 

Ok, now I am REALLY done!
