Everything in the storyline was aimed at a particular endpoint and then it just got pushed out like 30 more episodes.
So they just meandered for 2 years and every episode just felt like it was stalling for time so they could do in 30 episodes what they'd planned to do in the last 3 of season 7.
And then right as they were trying to bring it in for a landing someone yanked the stick to the right and killed everyone on board.
I've never seen a show torch goodwill like HIMYM did. If anyone here watched it they'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I can't even watch re-runs anymore, the dicked up the last 1/3 of it (and the ending) that badly. Yes, worse than GOT.

Great comparison. And yes. I came in late so I only endured the madness for 2 years. I couldn’t imagine being in from the beginning. I imagine there was a good portion of the audience hate watching that shit.
I don’t see an endpoint conclusion they’re stretching out. But I definitely see the meandering.
