Rewatching the show after a long time since the last season and this ending up pretty much spoiled the whole show for me.
Gotta say it does feel like the writers totally forgot about the show after like season 4 and suddenly came back to write the last episode, pretty much deleted five seasons of story in 20 mins straight - kind of genius really. The whole ted-robin-barney thing is even more jarring especially after rewatching the benefits episode from season 4 and the whole ending was kinda something straight out of the pilot, only problem is that we were really invested in 4-5 seasons of what the original writers thought were fillers
