âYou want a whole universe. Someone who has seen it all and thatâs me! Iâve lived longer, seen more, loved more and lost more. I can share it all with you.â
apparently Arthur Darvill is pretty good at portraying warriors of a long lost time.
Meanwhile⊠Losing âFriendsâ And Tumblr Nudity
Youâve been looking for this pee tape for two days, and now youâre reduced to digging up the garden.
You know what I find interesting? How I Met Your Mother just like⊠disappeared from culture after the finale aired. Like sure you might still hear the odd, âChallenge acceptedâ or use that gif of Marshall hugging the pillow as a reaction image, but no one really uses the phrases in vernacular, no one talks about the episodes.
And I think it has to do with the fact that the finale betrayed fans badly.
Take Friends for instance. It still is a lasting cultural thing. I think we can all agree now in hindsight, that Ross is an absolute douchecanoe, but at the time, the majority of fans wanted Ross and Rachel to get together because it had been this thing that the show had told us through cues was MEANT to be.
In HIMYM, the entire show was predicated on MEETING the Mother, and we had ruled out that Robin wasnât the Mother. More than that, they had shown us that Barney and Robin were actually perfect for each other. They had spent episodes and seasons redeeming Barney, and softening Robin and showing us why they were meant to be. And to see BOTH of those relationships forced apart for a series finale that they had written all the way back in season 1 that didnât make any sense for the story they eventually told, was damning for the showâs legacy in culture.
I firmly believe that writers should be able to write the story they want, and if you want to listen to constructive criticism or do a little fan service along the way then great, but when you get to the finale? That right there is 100% for the fans. The finale is when you let go of the story completely. The finale is a love letter to the people who made your show continue for as long as it did. Good finales are why shows survive.
It wasnât just that Robin and Barney were a good fit (though they absolutely were), itâs also due to the fact that, over the last few seasons of the show, the writers went out of their way to put the still faceless, nameless mother on a pedestal, to have Ted build up his love for her as something that was once in a lifetime and borderline perfect. His â45 Daysâ speech at the end of âThe Time Travelersâ is probably the pinnacle of this, with Ted telling his kids that, if he could go back to that night, heâd go to their motherâs apartment and declare his love for her right then because he wanted that extra time with her because he loved her so damn much (A speech which, by the way rang REALLY fucking hollow the first time I saw it after the finale (I was still incredibly bitter about the ending at that point and have since grown to love that moment again)). All of that was cheapened in seconds as the kids told Ted how the story was really about how he and Robin belonged together and I donât think Iâll ever forget how pissed I was as I watched that play out live.
The last point at which that ending was still viable was at the end of season 5, when Robin and Barney had tried the dating thing and it didnât work out the first time, when we still didnât know much about the mother or the circumstances under which Ted met herâŠBeginning with season six, they started the build up to the titular moment and began reexamining Robin and Barneyâs relationship. And it was at this point that the creators should have scrapped their original ending and began planning a new one. Instead, they tried to have their cake and eat it too, allowing the viewers to fall in love with Barney and Robin as a couple and Tedâs relationship with the mother (leaning particularly hard on the latter in the final season after they gave her a face in the season 8 finale), and then try to have their original ending, which no longer worked in any capacity.Â
They destroyed so much good will, burned so many bridges, more than theyâd ever managed to do during the less than stellar moments as the show drug onâŠIn a way, itâs kind of fascinating. I honestly canât think of any other show that managed to do that in such a monumental fashion. It was memorable, certainly, though not in the way anyone wanted. It may well go down in television history as the worst television finale of all time, and I, like so many others, was there to witness the train wreck.
