The mother dying wasn't the problem. They teased for years that the mother was dead. It was the whole Barney and Robin relationship they had been building up for years and spent an entire season getting then married only for them to be divorced within the first 15 minutes of the finale because of really stupid reasoning, just so Ted could get back with Robin.

The idea that there was something wrong with the mother was never established early on in the series. Hell, they even joked with Stella being the mother in one episode, and she didn't appear til season 3. Producers didn't even know who they wanted to have as the mother til after season 4.

You know what frustrated me the most? The end of Barney and Robin's marriage. I mean,I'm still thinking if they were a good match since Robin hesitated before the ceremony. But what the worst for me is, is what Barney was doing after the end of their marriage. Like he's changed, why was he back with his old habits? But I loved his words to his daughter. Sometimes I think that maybe I should re-watch the series because I was 20 when it ended so maybe I was immature and now it would make more sense to me but I'm not sure.

And instead ended with the mom coming in and telling Ted - - "OMG! That's your favorite story... let them GO already!" and then they host a evening party with Barney/ Robin and Marshall/Lilly. They sit around a kitchen table laughing over beers as it fades to black. Not the most dramatic - but satisfying.

I had loved Aria and Ezra's romance. I thought they did the "forbidden love" trope really well by having it portrayed as two people in unfortunate circumstances that couldn't resist their feelings for each other no matter how much they tried to stay away and respected each other to wait until Aria was 18 to do the big do. The whole thing started because he thought she was in college. But then all of the sudden somebody decided it would be brilliant to make Ezra a stalker who approached the girls knowing who they were??? all to write a book???? (which completely contradicted everything in prior seasons, as if continuity errors weren't annoying enough) and turned Ezra into a predator and a creep with priors ruining anything that was potentially romantic about their relationship. I'm still mad.

The sad thing is Barney really tried to accommodate and adapt himself in Robin's lifestyle so she could follow her dreams, but she took him for granted and then when he finally has enough she thinks maybe they weren't meant to be together. At least Barney got his happy ending. AND as the "Lobster Theory" proved Robin only wants things she can't have. Who else is to say she wouldn't later divorce ted because she wants to "be free again"? That's why i hate her character so much, She NEVER did anything for anyone (or if she did, it as like 3 or 5 times) yet almost everyone had to sacrify something for her (and even an episode showed her as the self-centered person she is now that she has an engagement ring)

I'm okay with the mother being dead at the end of it, that to me was okay and made sense. However, I do think that Ted going after Robin again was a mistake. The whole show they did allude that they were more than friends, but every time they were in a relationship it didn't work for many reasons. The whole 9th season dealt with Ted having to let go of Robin, but then he just falls back into her. They were never a happy, perfect couple and they had many differences that didn't work, which made the ending seem weird. I felt that after the show was over, if the story continued, Ted would fall in love with Robin again and it wouldn't work out again, leaving him even more crushed. I love Robin and how the character was written, but it was clear she was not right for Ted. However, I am okay with the mother (Tracy) being dead, even though I wished they developed her more and we got to know more about her. The whole series, there were no perfect, happy endings for anyone, and that's not always how life works. Even if Ted went through a lot during the series, it doesn't mean everything in his life will be perfect just because he got married. It also gives a reason why Ted is telling the story, I know it's years later, but I still think it's something Ted would do for his kids. with that being said, Victoria is the best girlfriend Ted ever had

I think Ted and Robin getting together in the end is actually justified more than we realize. In season 7 I believe, Ted and Robin are talking at Punchy’s wedding I believe, and Ted is down because he can’t find “the one” and Robin tells him that there are two things that need to happen for that to happen to him. Chemistry and Timing. She then says that he definitely has chemistry but the timing hasn’t been right. In a way, that was foreshadowing to the ending of the show. Ted and Robin always had chemistry but now in the year 2030, the timing is finally correct, as Robin is now living in New York after experiencing the whole world with her work. The only thing that I still disagree with is how her and Barney got divorced so quickly after devoting a whole season to their wedding

If you wish, only keep the its of Ted almost going to Chicago, then his meeting with Tracy, and put a voiceover over all the important episodes and your own explanation about why the story kept focusing on robin (Say, the Mother almost died, but Robing offered herself to save her in a surgery, and both made it Ok; OR say Ted was diagnozed with Alzeheimer, or something; OR my favorite to imagine: Ted suddenly stops the story, summarizes what his kids did after telling the story for the first time, and now asking WHy they wanted to hear the stor a second time. They say "To Stall" and they drive him to meet the gang and tracy to celebrate the anniversary planned by tracy to recreate that moment. THEN we get the recreation of the moment and the first meeting shown back to back PLUS cameos of the gang in the "present")

I have never in my life heard a Buffy fan enraged over bringing Dawn into the series. It was incredibly smart and preplanned. I love seeing the clues when you rewatch the show. Joss Whedon planned Buffy 2-3 seasons in advance. In the last episode of season 3 Buffy has a dream where Faith says: “Little Miss Muffet counting down from 730”, foreshadowing someone, which we now know is Dawn, two years later. There are other hints much closer to her first appearance. Also, her being the Key is revealed very early on in the fifth season.

Not only that but the monks made Dawn out of the Slayer's essence, so she was indeed related to the Buffy as it was how they could hide Dawn from Glory. In fact, when Dawn finds out what she is, and doubts everything, Buffy tells her that they are made of the same stuff and that makes them truly sisters. It is also why Buffy can do what she does to stop Glory and close the dimensional portal the end of that season.

I loved that twist (if it is one). Mostly because Joss Whedon managed to slip in atleast three spoilers for Dawn and nobody noticed at the time, but in hindsight they were awesome. 1st in the shared dream Buffy and Faith have in the final episode of season 3 ("little sister is comming soon"), second in the shared dream they have mid-season 4 (the episode where Faith wakes up again, "I hope you are prepared, she's almost here") and third Buffy's dream segment in the last episode of season 4 (Buffy: "I have to go now", Tara's answer: "Be back before Dawn.", after Buffy remembers the shared dream she had with Faith).

@@nicholasonciul5770 If you mean what WatchMojo mentioned, well, they kinda presented it wrong, Dawn was one of the best additions to the world(not because of her character, even though her character is nicely written, she comes of annoying-as any 14 y/o in that show would come off like. she's a nice addition cuz she makes a lot of room for storytelling, the whole season 5 is about her & that season is arguably the best season of the show) & the mystery of her character unravels only 3 episodes later. plus, in the context of the show, & how it was played, it was really awesome. that's actually Buffy for you: the name of the show is corny, the ideas & what fans usually argue about would probably seem stupid in the eyes of an outsider, but if you watch it(till the end of season 2, because season 1 is a bit rushed) you'll definitely fall in love with the show, it's truly one of the greatest TV shows in the history, & I usually don't make a bold statement like that.

I'm not too interested in hearing their opinion on Buffy season 5 when they clearly don't even know what happened in season 5. Dawn was revealed to be the key in the 5th episode, not after most of a season as they say in this video. Also season 5 is the favourite season of many Buffy fans. It really doesn't belong on this list. For one thing, Dawn's sudden appearance was DELIBERATELY confusing. Do a little more research, WatchMojo. Don't make statements about something you don't actually know about.

I don't think that the whole "Seymour Skinner secretly being an imposter" twist will ever really be forgotten, but for mostly the wrong reasons. The show writers were obviously trying for shock value, but they threw a huge curveball at us by having Skinner not be who we thought he was. It's arguably the moment where the show's quality dropped, and the plots stopped relying so much on realism that the previous seasons were fueled on. Even many of the writers have disowned this episode, and it's hardly ever mentioned again!

I would actually call the distancing from reality a reaction to "Homer's Enemy." As a representative of our own reality dropped into the insanity that is Springfield, it is Frank Grimes' mission to kill our suspension of disbelief. I actually liken it to what Family Guy did in the Season 8 episode "Jerome Is The New Black" where Quagmire deconstructs Brian as a character. Both The Simpsons and Family Guy dealt with this sobering dose of reality in their own ways: While FG decided to dive head-first into that "uncomfortably real" territory by making the rest of the cast equally "flawed," The Simpsons decided to distance themselves from that in order to maintain that suspension of disbelief. At least, that's my working idea of what happened.

Haha, distancing from reality? I'm no Simpsons expert, but I have been going through the series on DVD, currently on season 6, and reality has been distant from the start my friend. So far pre-season 6 there's been; Bart going to France and suddenly speaking French, while foreign exchange students are espionage super spies, Homer surviving that fall into the Gorge, Bart stumbling into a job for the mafia as a bartender, Martin's rocket powered soapbox racer, subsequent crash and survival, Homer becoming a manager to a country singer, a baseball mascot, an astronaut, a monorail driver (and everything else in that episode) A baby translator, everything about Kamp Krusty, Bart's elephant, Tamzarian's pursuit of Bart for skipping school, and killer Itchy & Scratchy Robots at a Jurassic Park-esque theme park. I honestly feel like at this moment that most complaints about the Simpsons now vs then is just thick nostalgia glasses and that maybe "Principle and the Pauper" just woke the audience up to the absurdity that's been inherent in the show all along.
@trinaq

bustedsim You've got a point there. It's possibly nostalgia that keeps us thinking of the Simpsons favourably.

The twist just took it a step too far, in my opinion.

It wasn't a bad plot twist for Buffy. The key would have been a bad plot twist if it had been done at the end of a season. Dawn was actually mentioned in a few episodes at the end of the previous season, just in a very cryptic way because there was no reason to think they meant Dawn as a name and not just the word. But moreover, it was good for the story arc and made Buffy grow as a character. It can be debated, but I don't think she would have jumped in the portal if the monks hadn't done exactly what they did.
