Milloti was perfectly cast for the role of The Mother. The vibe and chemistry she has with the gang is amazing. I agree that I wish we should have seen her earlier like Season 7-8. It's going to be an emotional finale for sure.

I watched the show when it first started. Then I felt it got stagnant/repetitive. I only watched it occasionally from season 3/4 up to this season. I started back watching every episode this season. I have enjoyed many of the episodes this season some more than others of course.
While it's not my favorite sitcom ever, I have enjoyed it and excited to see the finale tonight.

I hope there is a twist ending like the Mother being dead or Ted having Alzheimer's theories being true.

Well, it was obvious to me where it was leading very early in tonight's episode, but I liked it.
***SPOILER****
As I said in my other post, I had stopped watching the show, and one of the reasons was the constant teasing of Ted/Robin with no expected payoff. The show started similar to Friends with Ted/Robin and I thought that would be the hook throughout (Ross/Rachel). It became obvious that that wasn't going to be the case. I also had a problem with this season wondering why the constant Ted/Robin relationship vs Ted/Mother Barney/Robin. Tonight showed why they continued with that story throughout.
I liked the ending. Thought it was well thought out and obviously planned years in advance.

Can't believe it's over!
****SPOILERS****
I'm a grown man and seeing Barney fall in love (with you know who if you watched) was probably one of my favorite parts of the episode. 9 years he goes through it all (even a perfect week and month) and that was perfect. I do feel kind of upset that they built up the mother only to have what happened to her happen to her but it brought it around full circle.
Overall a great show that really got me through some hard times over the past 9 years. I'm happy with the ending.

I haven't seen it yet, but I read how it ends. I'm fine with it, but it seems they didn't allow the fans of the show to mourn the Mother. Just "oh btw she's dead".

Wow...I am truly speechless.
****SPOILERS**** If you have not watched the finale, DO NOT READ
I thought this was an incredible finale. Quite the tearjerker. My thoughts..
- Loved the opening sequence. Having Ted see the mother leading into the show was perfect. I couldn't stop smiling at Barney trying to hook Ted up again with "Have you Met Ted?".
- Initially, finding out that Barney and Robin got a divorce was tough. Truthfully, I have mixed feelings on this. At first I was very sad for Barney. I thought it would have been an incredible story to see Barney and Robin together, maybe even have them overcome the odds and have a baby together.
- That being said, I do feel like it was an incredible moment seeing Barney fall in love with his daughter. Would have been nice to see the mother, but at the same time, I can see why they didn't show her.
- Something I have believed all season long was only further stressed this episode. I LOVE the mother. She was incredible. I mean truly incredible, and she was PERFECT for Ted. Which brings me too...
- Heartbreaking to see that she was sick and really did pass away. Just truly heartbreaking and so sad to see. They had incredible chemistry together and I loved every scene they were in together. I also think she fit in perfectly with the group. Also heartwarming to see her scene with Ted under the umbrella, and to find out her name.
- I enjoyed the final scene. I had read that they had filmed the scene with the children in, I believe it was season 2. So they've had this planned for a while now. I really enjoyed them interacting with Ted. The way Ted got her the blue french horn again...an amazing moment. I was slightly puzzled as to why they kept bring up Ted & Robin, but it all makes sense now. An interesting twist and one that people will either really enjoy, or question. It was nice to see that 6 years had passed since she passed away. If I remember correctly, Ted is telling his children this story in 2030 I believe? So that would meant that he was with Tracy for 10 years.

But it was sad to find out she had passed within the last 5 minutes of the show without allowing the fans, along with the group, to mourn. This was my only issue with it. Other then that, I thought it wrapped everything up very nicely.

Did not like this finale at all. The only thing worse would have been if the mother faked her own death and became a lumberjack.

If they put more time into that though, it might've ruined the end of the series. I think if they decided to dwell on it too much it could've ruined the happy ending for Ted.

Sad to see the show end. Loved it from the start. I'll admit, the ninth season hasn't been great, but still. I've honestly loved it. Ill be watching the finale over Raw tonight. Well, I'm Australian so I haven't seen much yet. Heard some great reviews for upcoming episodes. Can't wait!

Well I guess that's it.
SPOILERS
It really is a circle as Ted is with Robin again. My only gripe is that this entire season was based off of Robin and Barney's wedding, but they just ended up getting a divorce the next episode.

Wow...what a show. That last episode I felt made up for the whole season. I loved it all, the flash-forwards were awesome and Barney meeting his kid for the first time was one of my favourite scenes from the show, that along with the ending scene was awesome. This show has been great, sure this season hasn't been spectacular but upon re-watching I have seen a bit more storyline development I hadn't previously scene.
