^ I am SO glad you asked lol

For starters: I think they dedicated more than one season to Barney and Robin. Barney was in love with Robin (I think) all along and always did the things that he did for her. Like when he proposed to her, I'm pretty sure those events happen long before season nine. Even when she was with Gael (played by Enrique Iglesias), i'm pretty sure you could tell how much it hurt Barney even if he didn't act it. The scene with Barney and his daughter was cute, but I really believe that he should've stayed with Robin. I think the writers of plan that all along.

Regarding Ted and Robin, I never liked them. I was thought he was too needy for her. I don't believe in love at first sight, maybe an attraction, but he was in love with her when he first saw her and I think that's ridiculous. and like you said, it seemed like the entire nine seasons of the show was just so Ted could meet the mother and have a family because he couldn't get that from Robin and then the whole story of how he met the mother was really his way of asking permission to be with Robin? The finale ruined the entire show for me.
