What was creepy?
The fact that he seemingly talked with more reverance towards Robin than he ever did for the kids mother. The fact that six years later the kids seemed to barely even react to the fact that he wanted to go after the woman who was always his first choice. The fact that the story was about how I met your mother, but even the kids realized that it was actually a story about why he loves Robin. The fact that Barney had a child with a woman on the 31st day of a streak of sleeping with a different woman.
When you put all of that in context to speaking to his two teenage children it is a little bit creepy.
there was a critic who pointed out that the creators should've altered what ending they originally had planned to fit the narrative after all these years of stretching the show out (it wasn't intended to be a 9 season show). the chemistry between barney and robin was too good to throw away so quickly; and the love triangle between ted, robin, and barney held attention away too much from "the mother" that it really didn't matter who she was...and since she's pretty much killed off right when you start to like her...it seems like they did, in fact, cop out.
unlike david chase, who changed things once "the sopranos" got renewed after getting a dumptruck full of money at his front door and ended it on a "cliffhanger" rather than having an actual ending...these guys decided to chug ahead and use their original ending.
the problem is that it didn't work after all, not with all the other things built into the show.
it did not need to cram all of that into its finale. a finale shouldn't feel rushed or have *too* much going on. it seems like it could've been a sweet ending if it didn't betray the rest of the series. in fact it sounds like it would've made a great nicholas sparks novel.
not necessarily a good sitcom ending.
