The ending to how I met your mother is so shit. (This is a long post btw, sorry)

(Spoilers) Ted falls in love, he's getting married he's got two kids, and Robin has a job she loves plus she's been through so much character development that her and Ted don't really work anymore.

But the writers decide that they should end up together anyway. So Tracy (the mother) dies? And we only find out about that storyline from "she got sick" and "she's been gone six years now"

All because the writers needed to shove Robin and Ted back together. It could have worked but instead of taking the time to work through that really complex storyline it was covered in half an episode

It just seems so meaningless to go through the entire story leading up to how he met her, only to end it the second she meets him and leaving the last bit of the story to be "is it cool if I date your aunt Robin"

The show should have ended at 15:38 because everything after that is completely unnecessary.

Also why was Tracy only ever "the mother"? We only learn her name at the end of the last episode and every time she's in the show it's only to show Ted got his dream of a wife that has his two kids.

Season 9 should have kept the wedding to the first few episodes and then moved on and actually let us see Tracy. Let us actually see what the show was building up to for 9 seasons. And then either leave out her dying and Ted dating Robin or adding another fucking season
