Three Glide writers debate the merits of ‘How I Met Your Mother”s controversial finale.
It’s finally here: the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ finale (#HIMYMfinale). It’s a real doozy of an episode that already has social media backlash! But what series finale doesn’t garner backlash from the entire population of Twitter? However, let’s try to enjoy the episode for what it is.
The final episode before the legen-waitforit-dary(!) finale. As the title suggests (although it could’ve also been named “The Locket, Part Three”), we finally (presumably) get to see Robin walk down the aisle and experience the start of TV’s most epic wedding EVER.
In this week’s in”stall”ment, a character from the show’s sidelines takes center stage as the series continues to build anticipation for the biggest TV wedding event ever (yes, even bigger than the Royal Wedding — or the Red Wedding).
As we creep and crawl to the series finale at the end of the month, ‘HIMYM’ spends another week stalling, distracting, and answering questions we had already forgotten we’d asked.
This episode had some funny moments, but the weariness of this season has fully set in.
With the Olympics (finally) over, ‘HIMYM’ kicks off its final run with this week’s ‘Rally.’
More fun guest stars — ‘HIMYM’ is trying to make a callback to every past episode this season, it seems — but do we need even more episodes about Ted’s love for Robin? Fortunately, this seems to be the final one.
So many answers, so many tears. This classic episode shows us how The Mother’s life intersected with Ted’s, and how close they came to almost meeting before the true first time.
After the big stall of an episode last week, this one at least gives us answers to many lingering series-wide questions
