i am absolutely speechless.This is why I love HIMYM so much. It intertwines the serious with humorous very well. Although, I will say I was a bit shocked at the end of the show last night. You go from laughing to just....sad.For anyone saying HIMYM is only a comedy, go back and watch from episode one... There have been true to life moments throughout the run of the series: Marshall sitting in the rain after Lily leaves, Victoria moving to Germany, Ted "cheating" on Victoria with Robin and having them find out, Ted and Robin, Ted being left at the alter, Robin and Don, Barney and his brother's meeting of one of their dads.
People get so wrapped up in Barney's funny over-the-top antics that they forget the show gained notoriety because of the "close to home, I remember when that happened to me" feel the episodes had. The death is just the most impactful to date. i think the thing that did it for me was when Marshell tried to put on that tough face for Lily and not cry in front of her, but then it hit him like a punch to the face and he couldn't hold back. I was welling up before then but when that happened I lost it.
And don't forget how much timeline jumping is done, the dad I bet, is far from gone in the series. You've made me cry twice now HIMYM.... When Lily left Marshall and Ted found him sitting in the rain is the only one to come closeThe count down was very misleading, as was said in one of last seasons episodes that when they saw Barney's dopple ganger Lily and Marshall would have a baby. I thought the count down was for Lily to tell Marshall that she was pregnant and my wife and I were even counting down to good news and then WHAM! completely surprised and devastated at the ending
