So How I Met Your Mother is one of my all time, top 5 favorite shows. Probably more like 3rd favorite show. I am still completely undecided how I feel about the finale. I think that the feeling that I am left with is a sense that there really was no closure for me. I needed something else that I feel like I wasn't given. I know to a lot of people getting so involved in a TV show is silly, but I think reading makes me that way. I get involved and I care, and these shows and books become family and friends, and I get invested. That is how I was with this show. I have seen every single episode, every single second, of this show, more than once. Probably five or six times, and I loved every second of it. And the ending did not leave me feeling closure, it left me befuddled. I am hoping that over time, and with a few more viewings, I will get what I need from it. But for now, I still feel utterly confused. <br /> And I know that writers have the freedom to write what they feel, to follow the path that their characters lead them down, but I also think that, especially with a tv show, that they should keep the people who watch and love their show in mind, too. Because, without us, those beloved characters wouldn't be beloved at all, and they never would have made it for 9 seasons in the first place.
