I see the Robin-Barney thing getting the blame but I have a feeling you end that finale with the exchange on the train platform and everybody loved it.

Personally I think there was more of a payoff with this ending. Makes much more sense on why Robin played such a huge part of all the ongoing storylines and how it always tied back to Robin.
Its a sitcom. People watch it to laugh and enjoy the characters. Not for characters they love dying and non-cliches stories, complex. If this was a dramatic show... kill the mother and I'll give it a fair shot. In a sitcom - give me the happy cliched ending.
