The perfect example of fan pandering writing. Here you have a fake and tacky attempt, at bringing together, two characters that never clicked. Why? Because of all the obsessed shippers who threatened to stop watching the show, if writers didn't go their way. True story. And the cherry on top, was Ted doing the matchmaking... The first slap in the face, being when Robin said she wasn't in love with him, a year earlier.
And this is just the beginning. Because everything will be about their engagement and wedding, for the most part of the remaining of the series.
It's a good thing the show ended differently. Just to redeem things a bit. With Robin and Barney ultimately not working out. And Ted being her last minute endgame (who didn't see that one coming?) Only it's a shame they had to wait, not owning anything these crazy fans, before deciding to make logical decisions for the show's script... Obviously, the mother had to make an appearance. But at one point, it became anticlimactic. Also, they could've simply given Robin & Barney better match, to postpone the unavoidable.
What a waste. Bad teen drama level writing, there.
