I've got very mixed feelings about this and it's all to do with the last couple of episodes. I'm currently rating this a seven out of ten but may knock it down to a six based on that ending. The ending was just so infuriating. This in the end didn't turn out to be about the mother at all - it's about how Ted was so in love with Robin. Honestly this show treated Ted and Robin like they were some sort of Ross and Rachel shit when they shouldn't have been. They dated earlier in the show that was fine move on.
What infuriates me about this as well is that we find out in about season 7 that Robin can't have children so we have the mother on screen just long enough to provide two children for Ted before dying just so he can go running back to Robin.
I must admit this show does have its stellar moments and has really lovable characters but I do think the ending fell victim to bad writing and that's saddening.
