[@adalon378]

Spot-on compilation.

[@BrightNeonBrilliancy]

HIMYM finale doesn't exist to me. I choose to view the alternate cut ending as the canon ending. I can KINDA get on board with the mother being dead. It's sad, but thematically I can understand the twist. But Ted getting back with ROBIN?!? The entire show tells us over and over and over again how those two are NOT compatible. Ted is a hopeless romantic who wants the traditional family life, and Robin is an independent career driven woman that likes to travel. Having them get back together just treats the mother like a surrogate to pop out a few kids so Ted can have his dream before offing her to get him back with Robin.

[@dhenderson1810]

You make it sound like he offed the mother himself. So Ted is not allowed to move on after losing his wife. Barney was wrong for Robin as well. He is a serial womaniser who could never stay committed for long. They would have divorced over Barney's adultery eventually. Leopards like that don't change their spots. It is concerning that so many fans support such a problematic character like Barney anyway. A character like that wouldn't be written today anyway and it makes me wonder about the types of people who watch that show.

[@BrightNeonBrilliancy]

Oh, I don't think Ted should be alone. But not ROBIN. The show goes out of its way to tell us they don't do well together. It just makes it obvious that the ending was written years ago back when they were the 'main couple', but the show moved on since then. As for Barney, honestly I thought he was best with Quinn. Quinn was a slightly more toned down version of him. She called him out on his hustle, and didn't want to be saved. He's a creep for sure, but I like to believe the theory that future Ted hyperbolised a lot of Barney's characterisation. @@dhenderson1810

[@legendarynaga]

The problem with HIMYM was simply because they planned only 1 Season and filmed the scene with kids together so they wouldn't age if it went on longer, then stuck to it no matter what. They should have relooked at it after all the plot developments in the later seasons and maybe used a back shot or effects to do the kid scenes. I don't think most would have minded even if the kids were recast since they weren't the point.

[@h0p314]

The alternate ending of Ted’s voice saying “& that’s how I met your mother” then the screen cutting to black is actually PERFECT to me. Because you’re right, the kids are not point- especially in the latter half of the show. It hardly ever cuts to them. The audience is effectively the kids.

[@christopherdavidson17]

Incorrect. They filmed dofferent scenarios for th finale. They choose to pick that ending.

[@fantasyaj6510]

1. The assassination of Cordelia Chase on Angel. 2. The twin reveal on PLL (The twin reveal in the book series made so much more sense). 3. Dan being Gossip Girl (It should of been Dorota! Sure, it would of been more predictable but at least it would've made sense! The actress herself even said that she wished she was GG).

[@hollyschmidt9316]

I read somewhere that it was supposed to be Eric but the show runner (I think) changed it after he was guessed in the news. They didn’t want to be “predictable” and so instead chose to be nonsense 🙄

Bellamy getting shot by Clarke was soo stupid. She didn’t even get the book that was in his hands. And Sheidheda was able to get Madi anyways. Stupidest kill ever.

[@phoenixgate007]

I’m still livid about Logan dying on Veronica Mars. Veronica is the main female protagonist but I would argue Logan became just as important to the story. His character evolved so much from seasons 1-3 and I was looking forward to seeing him and Veronica figure out life as a married couple. Kristen Bell said in an interview that: "If she [Veronica] had a perfect relationship, there wouldn't be a show." I find it disheartening that we keep seeing fictional portrayals of women either being strong and powerful or in a happy and healthy relationship - but not both. Being in a healthy relationship takes work. It can be frustrating, scary, fun, and exhilarating. There’s so much more to it than, “…and they lived happily ever after.” To think there would no longer be meaningful conflict in the show because Veronica had a partner she could rely upon, breaks my heart and broke my faith in the show.

[@JessicaAVoigt]

Honestly this response actually made me loose interest in everything Kristen did or does... It was pretty obvious that Jason Dohring was upset with this decision, you can see it in his face in the interviews they did, it was completely unfair to him and the character. There was no need to ruin their relationship just to make the show work, especially after you gave them a wedding. Despite all the shit they went through along the show, they deserved to be happy. This "it was necessary" bullshit just doesn't work, and it is ridiculous to me how she gets behind the idea and supports it. Logan was her ground, the piece of normality that Veronica had in her life, her only constant. It was disgusting how they treated him.

[@phoenixgate007]

@@JessicaAVoigt I agree. I’ve always liked Kristen Bell but after this… Frankly, I’ve seen men do this to costars and stopped following their career. Why would I do any differently for a woman? It was a shitty move. Rob Thomas is where most of the blame should lie as the writer, creator, and producer. But I would have liked it if she stuck up for Jason.

[@JessicaAVoigt]

@@phoenixgate007 Exactly! I've done the same in the past, I loved her in The Good Place but since this fiasco I just stopped everything. It was really a shitty move, Logan was just as important as a character as Veronica, at times even more. His development thoughout the story is incredible and inspiring, it sucks that his goodbye to the character was forced and super quick, he deserved much better than that crap

[@mgking2909]

@@phoenixgate007You gave up on a good actress for standing by her teams decision and not bashing the show that got her fame? In the nicest way possible these comments are foolish. Do you not understand that a pulling that type of move has gotten actress blacklisted? Entertainment is not a smooth world for women just like in every job, and not supporting them because they can’t stand up their boss is dumb.

[@JessicaAVoigt]

@@mgking2909 I get your point, I really do. But I mean Logan was such an important character, why give him such good development and a wedding just to kill him off? It felt like betrayal to all the fans. The revival only happened because the movie (which was paid for by the fans) happened, and people wanted to see more of Logan and Veronica. I mean you make a movie literally just to put them back together, focus on the couple, and then the revival throws that out the window. Why bring him back at all, why bother with all this development, you know? If they wanted to go on without Logan they could have just not brought him back to the revival and made an excuse for it. It was almost like a clickbait... bring him along to make the fans watch and on the last minute discart the dude. Kristen was the headliner and she is a very popular respected Hollywood star, if she wanted to put her foot down to change things a bit it could have been done, it would not have been the first time this happens in Hollywood or even with female actresses. It felt like betrayal.

[@trinaq]

The "long lost family member" trope rarely works well, and it cemented the moment when "Gilmore Girls" officially jumped the shark, next to Rory dropping out of Yale, and stealing a yacht.

[@frankieseward8667]

I think it can work if there's build up and foreshadowing. It takes time to make something like that. Like Trudys daughter from monk for example.

[@phoenixgate007]

Rory dropping out of Yale was such a bogus storyline. She freaked out over one piece of criticism, from one jerk. And Logan warned her his dad would play games.

After how "How I Met Your Mother" ended I never rewatched it again. I felt betrayed all the way.

[@hannahcampbell8196]

I rewatched himym twice since my first watch and every time I like the ending a little bit more. The way I see it, Tracy is up in heaven with her first love and gets to be with him, and Ted is with Robin and gets to be with her. Ted and Tracy had their two great kids and that couldn't have happened with Tracy and her first love, or with Ted and Robin. It is kind of a heart wrenching ending to the story, but it also made some sense to me in hindsight. Also the show alludes to Tracy being sick in the last few episodes which is super sad.

[@cobrakaier238]

I never did either.

[@MidnightL2008]

I actually think the ending fits the show. It makes perfect sense to me that the mother was dead from the beginning because who sits their kids and explains this whole story if the mother is in the other room. He is also explaining how much he has always loved Robin so that the kids understand he isn’t trying to replace their mother with their “aunt” for a quick fling.

bran becoming king is a much more satisfying ending if you think of the 3 eyed raven as the secret big bad. not only was the night king the archnemesis of 3ER, and the one who trapped him in that cave, the night king only started pursuing & attacking bran after bran crossed the wall to find 3ER. he tried to stop bran from meeting 3ER, and after bran/3ER made it back across the wall into westeros, who did the night king go after? BRAN. literally left the battlefield to go find bran in the middle of the woods to try and kill him. and the way he tells jon "you were exactly where you were supposed to be," with that smirk on his face, or the way he says "why do you think i came all this way?" when he's crowned king. and remember melisandre's spell using kingsblood? she explains how that amplifies her magical abilities. now bran has already powerful magical abilities in the form of warging thanks to being 3ER, and on top of that he has kingsblood coursing through his veins. that could make him powerful enough to warg into an entire kingdom at once, turning the people into an army of brainwashed zombie slaves. and why else would he be so concerned about following drogon to old valyria, where the red priests are from, if not to prevent daenerys from being resurrected and putting an end to him?

While Dan being Gossip Girl will always be stupid and while I’ll always hold a deep level of resentment towards Game of Thrones final season, Roseanne will always be #1 for me because not only did they reveal that Dan died and the entire last season was a lie, but they told the audience that Becky was actually married to David, Darlene was actually married to Mark, and Jackie had been a lesbian. So literally the ENTIRE show and all of its storylines had been a lie - not just the final season. That to me was an insane choice to make, especially for a family sitcom.

[@brianlipensky1722]

For me it's Once Upon A Time. I hated most of that final season. They got rid of most of the cast and made the remaining characters move across North America, from Maine to Washington State, giving most of them amnesia, and aging them for most of the season almost a decade. Truthfully the only reason why I watched the entire season is because I'm attracted to Lana Parillia, who played Regina/Ronnie. I did like her change of wardrobe for that final season, changing from bland suits and blouses, to form fitting denim and rocking t-shirts.

Be it Bloodraven or the old gods having taken over his body, or Bran doing a 180º in his personality. The real issue wasn't that they heard Tyrion into placing Bran on the throne, it was them giving Greyworm the power to imprison Jon.

From that point on it derrailed completely. But in Revenge it felt like they were out of ideas... it was just a grasp to ensue some chaos untill they figured out what they wanted to do.

[@JenniD1990]

I feel kinda similar on that one. Resurrecting a long dead character rarely helps a show for long. (Eastenders - UK soap opera, did it best with Dirty Den, but even they pushed it too hard and kinda ruined it eventually).

[@JessicaAVoigt]

@@JenniD1990 Yeah... it seems like a desperate idea, and then they don't know what to do with it and everything goes sideways, it's pretty messed up. I watched Revenge all the way to the end but this decision was pretty strange... however PLL was the end for me when they brought Alison back... it just felt boring for me after that

@@tylerhansen5186 Barney and Robin were always meant for a divorce. Barney was never going to last as a one-woman man, and Robin was always too independent and career-focused to ever have a relationship tie her down long term. I agree that centering the final season around their wedding only to immediately divorce them was a terrible narrative decision, but the divorce itself fits both characters. Also, neither Ted nor Robin ever fully lost their torch for each other. History says that their relationship will fail again, which is why the ending isn’t happily-ever-after, but rather here-we-go-again.

Who cares about character development? "Seinfeld" and "Married With Children" never had growth, or character development, yet remained funny throughout, lasted many seasons and ended on its own terms. Character development ruins sitcom characters. Name me one sitcom character who was funnier after their character growth than before. Fact is, immature characters are funnier, and that is the whole point of a sitcom. Growth stifles laughs.

I tactually think that the death in Grey's Anatomy is TOTALLY ruined the show was the death of Derek Shepard . . . After THAT death the show just went WAY down hill from there . . . So much so that I stopped watching a little bit after that . . . 🥺 Another death that I think ruined a show would be the death of Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey . . . I DID continue watching the show after it, BUT it just wasn't the same after Matthew dying . . . 😢 And, also, personally, I THINK that the maid (sorry, I forget her name now) would have made a WAY BETTER Gossip Girl than Dan EVER could!! 😉

You do realise that these are fictional characters don't you? They aren't really dead.

@@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie I will pull back on that. I probably feel sad about a character death when the reason for it is that the actor has died as well, like John Ritter in "8 Simple Rules", or a show I like called "The Goldbergs" where they killed off the grandpa off screen because the actor who played him, George Segal, died between seasons. It is more sad because a real person died, as well as their character, and the emotions from the characters are more raw and real. That and animal deaths, and babies as well. But a character death written in for "shock value" or because the actor left, doesn't impact me as much as real life deaths.

Bran becoming the Westeros ruler makes perfect sense, but only in the books! That's because his abilities and role in the overarching story has been developed for years. Bran is also one of the most important POVs in the books. But in the show, D&D had no idea what to do with Bran. If I remember correctly, they were also weird towards the actor. They stopped treating Bran as a character and used him as an easy exposition tool. The end of GOT would have worked perfectly fine if D&D had steadily developed the final results, instead of bulldozing their way to them. But they were too lazy and unprofessional to actually do that! Under normal circumstances, that should have meant that no self-respecting studio or creatives would work with them again. Alas, Netflix executives have no respect for anything.

[@christinesinclair6938]

^This. Mad Queen Dany is also foreshadowed in the books, but the show never did the proper ground work for it and so it was very out of nowhere for Show!Dany to go mad. Some hand waved BS doesn't cut it. That being said, with how the show **botched** the ending because Dumb and Dumber didn't want to hand the show over to new show runners to finish out the extra fives seasons it needed to properly explore those arcs because they were selfish pricks, those arcs are now *tainted.* Doesn't matter how well the books justify it, that bad taste from the show will linger. Of course, the books would actually have to come out.....

I do not think so. The only thing that held all previous individual kingdoms together for so long was a dynasty. Other houses would not accept Bran as a king without any power base. What for? And what does she think about just focusing on her own territory or reaching for the crown herself? Certainly Bran has skills. But there are limits to this; he is not omnipotent.

And that while Tracey is gone, he’s not alone and has no regrets about meeting her and having his dreams fulfilled with her. The whole finale with him ending the story to his kids about him STILL being in love with Robin makes Tracey out to be a surrogate that would give Ted what he wanted in kids and that once she was gone, he could pursue Robin even though the series showed time and time again that they were not compatible.
