<p>I don’t think you have to dislike Robin to think the ending was wrong. I’ve always been a big Robin fan, but The Mother was the one for Ted. </p>
<p>There was an episode some years ago which Robin narrates. At first we think she’s talking to her own kids, but at the end we learn that the kids are imaginary and that she’s childless and sad. How does that fit with the ending? I got the impression she was alone.Would she have been speaking sometime after she and Barney divorced but before The Mother died?</p>
