I LOVE this series! about a year ago, I started purchasing the DVD's one season at a time. About a month ago, I moved across country. While unpacking, I ran across my DVD's and realized I had not watched them all yet, so I started over from the beginning. Within the month, I had finished Season 8, only to find I didn't have the last season!!!! Not good! I looked all over the area, but it was nowhere to be found. I rushed onto Amazon and purchased it right away! Two days later (Thank you, Prime!) I was sitting in my living room watching the last season of HIMYM.
This review is in two parts, first the physical product itself. The disc arrived brand new and completely sealed. No cracks, scratches, or anything. It worked perfectly, and the case is in pristine condition. Couldn't ask for more!
And now for the content. First I will say, that I HIGHLY recommend this season, and series! Just remember, this is the FINAL season, so if you haven't seen the rest yet, you will lose a lot if you don't start from the beginning!!! WARNING!!! Contains spoilers, don't read any further if you haven't seen the final epic season! This final season was so bittersweet. The writers are amazing, and they so skillfully stretched out one weekend into a full 24 episode season (admittedly, the last 2 episodes which were the 2 part finale only included a few minutes at the beginning that were at the tail end of the weekend). This season wrapped up so many open and loose ends that have been floating around in HIMYM space over the past 8 seasons. We finally learned exactly what it is that Barney does at work (Please). We saw Robin's ever absent mother in the flesh (with a great performance by Tracey Ullman). We see the final conclusion to the infamous Slap Bet (Best. Wedding. Present. EVER). We also get a more detailed history of the illustrious yellow umbrella. We get to see the culmination of everything the show has promised for 9 years, Ted meets, falls in love with, and marries the mysterious mother, and we even get closure with Ted's inability to get over his unresolved feelings for Robin. In short, the series final season was legen....wait for it....dary!
The cover boasts an alternate ending. In my opinion, the alternate ending left a lot to be desired. It really felt as though they just "chopped off the last bit where there is any references to the mothers illness or passing There may have been some minor dialog changes as well, but it really just left it feeling unfinished. If they were going to make an alternate ending with the "happily ever after" for Ted and Tracey, I feel they should have either: A- ended with their wedding, or B-flash forward to their later years, perhaps ending with Ted and Tracey sitting with their grandchildren, and you hear Ted say: "Kids, did I ever tell you how I met your grandma?"
