Ps you should have put spoilers in the subject line!

Sorry! Thought the word plus two hard returns would help.

No, not everyone reads these threads on a phone. Some of us read these threads on...wait for it...a computer! <gasp>

So, put your "spoiler" alert in the subject line!

I'm not sure what your computer had to do with anything, or why you assume to know how I'm reading/writing this (wait for it... it's not a phone!). And if you watched the show you knew the finale was Monday, and it's Wednesday, and I've already apologized, so...

It's the series finale. You seriously didn't think we'd be discussing what happened?

Back story on the mother was earlier this season, in January, right before the break for the Olympics. *Really* good episode....

Of course they would. The thing is that their dad told them this incredibly long story supposedly about their mother, but it really was all about Robin.

You're right, put like that it's really yucky.

**SPOILERS**

What does this mean? He was in denial of being in love with Robin?

As for the finale, I thought for something planned out almost a decade ago, it came off not too bad.

Kids were a bit overenthusiastic I think, but not hard to believe they would support the idea that their dad would remarry after such a long time and to someone they are close with. Probably 13 yrs ago they weren't planning to tie the death of the mother so closely to that scene. I suspect they might have planned to play out of the illness of the mother longer and have some sort of recovery phase too, but the mystique of the mother and all the vitriol about "wait, what if the mother has been dead this whole time" meant they had to compress all of that into one episode.

One thing I did find unbelievable: Ted had a desk phone that you had to dial! But perhaps that is Mosby being retro?

The desk phone that Ted had looked a lot like a current remote control.

Yeah, but I figured it would have Siri like capabilities, or honestly just be video.

I wanted robin and Barney to stay together.
