Timing Is Everything

Everyone will be talking about those cameos, but even without them this episode would be great. I think this is going to be nice little spin-off if they can keep up with quality of first season finale.

The one who didn't scream or cry or after what happened doesn't deserve to be called fan of HIMYM

Beyond that, I think that 10 episodes was a little bit short to develop a plot like that with many "main characters".

Some stories felt kinda rushed, but I like it a lot these finale among being solved a bit quickly.

I'll keep this simple. Amazing finale. I am definitely looking forward to season 2 now. If this episode was bad, I would have dropped this show. Fingers crossed that the writing keeps improving.

I will get downvoted for this but I have to say it again. I have not laughed once at any joke Ellen has told this season. I do not like her character. I hope they replace her or just figure out a way to phase out her character.

I had a great time watching this episode. It was what I hoped HIMYF would be like, and I hope it will be more like this in the future

This episode did something right which the series failed to do overall thus far, acknowledging and expanding on its original (the apartment has been the only link up until this point). It therefore truly sets itself to be a spinoff series rather than a series with a similar concept. It has been the first time in which this series had some payoff for viewers of HIMYM (on multiple occasions), and gave me the best laughs of this season.

I've been optimistic about this show since the beginning, and it was good to see each episode being better than the last, and seeing people liking the show more and more as it went on.

We all knew though that the season finale would be the decisive factor in whether or not people were going to be looking forward to season 2.

Well I'm glad, because this season finale was not only good for How I Met your Mother's fans (for obvious reasons that I will not spoil), but also really good on it's own. The comedy was better (still not as creative as the original show's, but better), the conflicts were all interesting, and it's a great setup for season 2. Hopefully, with the extended number of episodes, season 2 will get to be more creative and explore different dynamics.

As it stands right now, I'm really excited.

Also Ellen is funny and that's a hill I will die on.
