If you have not seen the finale of HIMYM season 7.
Warning: contains spoilers.
Sorry, but i really need to write about this.
Im still in shock, even though i knew who the bride was going to be.
So don't read this if you want to find out the answer for yourself.
Last chance to look away.
Better yet, go watch season 7 now.
Okay.
Don't say i didn't warn you.
WOW, what a finale. FINALLY some answers.....that only raises more questions than it solves, but that's besides the point. Two bombs dropped in the last episode that can be ranked a "10" on the crisis rating, and can have some serious implications.
1. Robin is revealed to be the bride at Barney's wedding. Which means that Barney's engagement to Quinn flopped. And that Robin and Ted probably won't end up together (yes im still rooting for those two). Its a shame really, i thought Barney and Quinn looked good together. They really suited each other.
2. Ted elopes with Victoria. Which means Clause gets left at the altar, and that Victoria could potentially be the mom. Personally, i don't think Victoria is the mom, for numerous reasons that i won't bother to go into details here. But it'd be a sweet notion if she was, seeing as Victoria was Ted's first girlfriend since the show started.
I seriously don't know what to think of this episode. The whole Barney-Robin-Quinn arc i could somewhat foresee, and my suspicions were confirmed at the point just before they showed Robin's face in the wedding dress (yes i recognised her boobs). But Ted and Victoria. Wow. That came as a shock to me. I can understand the rationale behind Ted choosing to elope with Victoria, as he is finally overcoming his fears and taking hold of fate and creating his own destiny by securing what he wants, but that's pretty selfish. He is partially responsible for another man being left at the altar, a feeling which he can empathise with and therefore he really should have shown better judgement. Although i am a romantic and he probably felt like she was truly the one and that if he let her go he'd probably regret it for the rest of his life but the reality is that things probably won't work out and he'll break her heart, again. Especially given everything thats happened on the show, personally i think its highly unlikely that she is the mother.
So yea, i'd just like to take this opportunity to say: WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?? Why are they all so fickle?? They keep changing their minds about each other, and everyone seems to be going in circles. Ted, Robin, Barney. The 3 of them just need to make up their fucking minds and stick with it. It feels like even Robin and Barney are still not set in stone, given the history of the show and an uncanny tendency of brides to get cold feet on their wedding day. I think Robin was right. Ted is only single because of his own making. What used to seem like romantic idealism to me is now just cowardice, naivety, fickleness, and insecurity. Ted just needs to man the fuck up and stick with one girl. Or risk dying alone.
Overall i think season 7 has been as good as any other season. It got off to a slow start but its really picked up in quality in the second half. I really like the character development of Barney and how much depth he's shown this season. I also like the addition of Quinn. I think she is one of the better female support characters. In terms of comedic entertainment, i still find alot of the episodes funny, and found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. What the show HAS lost in humour, i think its made up for it in depth and sentiment. Only things that kinda annoyed me were the sudden and somewhat unrealistic plot twists, but i guess that's what makes these shows so addictive. So yea, this post has somehow turned into a review and i probably lost all of my readers at the title (lol nice one bobby but you dont have any readers). But seriously, i think i haven't lost faith in HIMYM quite yet, and its still one of my all time favourite shows, alongside Community.
So yep, that's gonna be my closing statement. Bobby out.
