How do you blow a landing so badly that you wipe out everything that happened before it? Even Seinfeld didn't do that.
It blows my mind how they thought that was a good idea. Like you, Hulu can keep 'em. Which is a shame because it really was a good show.
If the show had ended after 3 or 4 seasons the ending wouldn't have been that bad at that point.
After 10 seasons it became clear that Ted and Robin should not be together. I was so sick of ted pining over her. Their characters had grown so much since those first couple seasons that the ending was a slap in the face.
That is a cautionary of locking yourself into an ending and not allowing the story to change as the characters do.
