6 Reasons I Didn't Like the 'How I Met Your Mother' Season 6 Finale (and 3 Reasons I Did)

Last night marked the end of How I Met Your Mother season 6, a season that has taken us through fun and touching highs (Marshall's storyline with his father, and Robin Sparkles three, y'all!) and painful lows (pretty much anything to do with Zoey). Unfortunately, "Challenge Accepted" ended the chapter on a mostly low note. Here's why:1. The return of Zoey. If I had just one word, it would be this: REALLY? Sure, Ted's almost reconciliation with her laid the groundwork for Barney and Robin to project and finally lay out their own residual feelings for each other, but did we actually have to see Zoey again for that to happen? And did Ted have to close out the season like a total goon for that to happen? No. The answer to both is no. And instead of giving me the ol' Barney and Robin warm and fuzzies, all that plotline did was remind me what a stinker this entire Zoey story has been. If "new is always better," then why did they (the gang, and the show) drag out that completely unlikable character fooor sooo looong? Oh, and speaking of dragging, how about that ...
