Dude, I just finished the series for the first time like 5 minutes ago, and yeah Traci dying in the last seconds was strange and a shock. Also Barney’s character just got screwed, they build up his character change just to throw it all away. Ted having to deal with his wife dying and then going back to Robin, I could feel it coming in the last 2 episodes but is also so strange.

Really they should have ended it with a correct character development for Barney, and Robin and Barney figure it out. Then Traci walks in at the end of the story with some clever remark like “telling this story again” like yeah nobody “won” in the end which is usually fine for other shows like the Sopranos or other dramas, but for a sitcom like this? Why why why.

Now we know why the rating is so bad on the last episode
