It sucks we missed out on the pineapple being explained and the Mall being sung again, but I can understand those being cut considering how much happened in these episodes. Well, actually they should have made the finale 3 episodes long and just cut the whole Gary Blauman episode, but put the whole parking lot future scene in the finale (it would seem more fitting to find out everyone's futures in the finale episode, rather than a few episodes before the finale)

Lily and Marshall's bet I didn't find out about until like a month ago lol. I still haven't even seen every episode (I've still got like 6 or 7 more to see, but they're all really early episodes) but I just saw the one with all the bets recenntly. I wouldn't say Barney went into a depression though. Maybe off screen yes, but he seemed just like his old self at the halloween party and in the bar. Unless that was all an act...

If the mother of his child was revealed to be Nora or Quinn, than I'd be slightly happier to at least know Barney wound up with someone who loved him at one point, rather than being alone and away from Robin.

The entire thing seemed really off to me somehow? I was aware I was watching the LAST episode the entire time, but it didn't really stick out much because we've had a crap ton of future scenes through out the past seasons. A few things I can say I liked about the finale was the way it was played out. Future scenes that kept cutting back to Ted on the bench and transitioning back in forth between future and present made the whole thing seem really long. I really liked future Lily's hair and I would have been super happy to see Robin's dogs back (I was upset when she had to get rid of them) if they weren't present in such a terrible scene.
