5Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky
How I Met Your Mother (2005 - 2014)
Like so many others before me , I was let down with the coda ofHow I Met Your Mother . Not only was seeing Ted end up Robin a predictable conclusion that anybody could have guessed based on the first episode alone , but it went against so much of the antecedently established story that it felt like a smack in the case . While Ted and Robin ’s kinship was primal toHIMYM , I realized they made Barney and Robin a far better distich once they were together at the oddment of Season 4 .

When Barney and Robin got married , I was really happy for them , and it felt like an crucial moment of character development for both of them .

While I revere that Kim could meet an untimely death at the hands of the cartel , the fact that she and Jimmy simply split up and disconnect from each other ’s life was somehow more heartbreaking .
