About the alternative finale of How I Met Your Mother

About the alternative finale of How I Met Your Mother. Netflix has released the first eight season of How I Met your Mother or How I meet your mother as somebody use to call it. Anyway, thanks to Netflix thousands of people are following the story of Ted Mosby and his friends while the research of the Big Love. I mean, legally, because a lot of people have watched How I Met Your Mother streaming every episodes from a lot of websites, but you know, now we got it on Netflix (here you find the Season 9). So, who is The Mother?


SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER


Probably you know that there are two finales. One is the final episode of the nineth season, but after a revolution by the fans, the author decided to prepare an alternative finale. Well, I must say I prefer the original one! I'm going to write about them so if you haven't watched it please get out of this website, unless you don't care about spoiler.

Someone seems to miss here... or not?

THE OFFICIAL FINAL EPISODE. OH MY GOSH!
Let me begin by saying about the official final episode. I watched it with my heart inside my throat. It's really emotional, every word, every scene are like a knife on my thoughts. We've spent 9 years following their adventures, crying when Ted was abandoned on the altair, clapping when Barney was arrested just to declare his love to her stripper fiancée, and I could continue more and more.
The last episode is amazing. The bench on the railway station, the old woman, the yellow umbrella, the letters on it, the story of the relationship between Ted and the mother, between Barney and Robin, between Marshall and Lily inasmuch as Ted finishes his story with the illness of his wife and her death. I had already read something about it (fucking websites and forums!!!) but watching it was very sad. However I couldn't believe it could finish on that way and infact the authors decided to keep it up!
We are 6 years after the Mother's death (I can't even know of her role name because I don't remember it) and we see the daughter and the son of Ted that say to him about going to Robin for marry her. Because what's been clear from his story is how he has always loved her and not the mother.
The last scene could be perfect for a movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan: Ted with the blue unicorn under the Robin's palace.

To my mind, this one is the perfect conclusion for the story. Ted has always been in love with her and the 'Mother' was only a part of the story. A big part indeed, but just a part. I don't remember her name because of she's never been a part of the story and the story is about the relationship and the love between Ted and Robin.

This is... ehm, this must be the only one possible Mother!


THE ALTERNATIVE FINAL EPISODE
Now I go to the alternative final episode. This one finishes with Ted and the Mother under the yellow umbrella. Yes, the message about how the life is difficult but it's always worthy to be lived is good, but it's not enough. We wanted more, we wanted Ted and Robin together, since the first episode. Because they are perfect together.

This is why I like the original episode. This is why I must say this is the best sitcom ever (even better than 'Friends'). This is why I'm sad about its ending.

Crying crying crying... is it possible to cry in a comic tv serie?
AND YOU?
Which is your favourite Mother? Do you agree with the original episode or with the alternative? Do you think that even if the Mother is the one Ted ends up to be married for only few years before her death or the real Mother is the only woman he has always loved since the first episode?
