I wouldn't call the finale awful. Just the Ted/Robin/Tracy stuff. I don't think Barney went a step backwards, he just went into a state of depression when he lost Robin, who he thought was the only women he could ever love and came out of it when Ellie was born. I just wish the first 2 episodes of season 9 focused on the wedding and then the rest were just what the finale was, showing the gang through the years, maybe then they could have made the mother dying and Robin and Ted easier to except. The finale just seemed rush and 18 freakin' minutes were cut from it (Details of some scenes that were cut are here: http://ie.ign.com/articles/2014/04/03/18-minutes-were-cut-from-how-i-met-your-mothers-series-finale).
