' How I met your mother' series finale recap: 'Last Forever'/must visit

"How I met your mother ' final series confirms our greatest fears. ¦ CBS

"Ewig" confirms our worst fears. The one-hour "how I met your mother" series finale proved the law of conspiracy theorists. The mother, whose name we found Tracy McConnell, was dead at the end of the episode. With time, which tells the story of Ted his children, she was already dead victims "Illness", in which Ted very, very much loved her for six years.

Blergh.

It was a moment fans saw coming, but the nail in the mother's coffin (sorry, I had to) came after Ted revealed that she died. In the final moments, Ted's children convinced him calling Robin to her on a date to questions. It said it for six years. It's okay to move on from MOM. Ernst. Then, he appeared outside her apartment with this blue French Horn. About halfway through the finals, people on Twitter started, follow the instructions: Robin and Barney divorced (we will come back to), Robin had surgery with Ted and his daughter on the street and they too cute Lily said that Ted who was guy should have married her. It fit together. It was the best, but also thanks to the worst.

Backing up something, the final, raced through the years between Barney and Robin wedding and present. Within the first 15 minutes we found out Barney and Robin have divorced three years after their marriage. Quickly left her career as a news anchor, and she began Jet-setting all over the world. Barney's blog suffered. She got drunk in Argentina, had a lot of sex, sober and decided to separate. Robin was slowly and unconsciously, pushed out of "the gang".

Barney, went back to his old ways. There was a text book II, the "Mannequin" and "Jim Nacho." He then began a perfect month struck 31 girls in 31 days, until the number 31 was pregnant and had girl Ellie. In a moving scene Barney said to the baby, "you're the love of my life. Everything I have and everything I am is you forever."

Lily became pregnant with her third child, and she and Marshall finally decided to leave old apartment. In an epic Halloween / goodbye house party, they disguised as a white LaTeX whale and said one of the most dramatic scenes of the episodes in the outfit. (Major USV, Alyson Hannigan for this one.) The party Robin showed up, but clearly the gang had not seen even years in months, if not. She left in a fit to see all together and "the gang" for Lily broke. "It is never to be like it was," she said. "It may not be. It must be a sad thing." And that goes for all relationships.

Ted Tracy waited seven years to get married. There was no hurry, because an extraordinary and happy life in the way now. Marriage had been the ultimate goal for Ted all the time: to meet the right woman to marry, children have. Change order, but portrayed a dedicated, shaken loving relationship without the ring immediately. It grew from TEDS and proved her love was not centered around a wedding (even though a French Castle could have been nice), or a single moment. Instead, it was on the basis of millions of small moments and created a life with another of them.

As a series finale, going this time as one of the Heartbreakers go up. They killed the mother. I repeat, that she killed the mother! After the finale, aired I heard from a friend farewell party and left shortly after arrival, to explain that I had until the end of the short summary of a very confusing hour of television. Dies when someone asked how to stop the show, "to admit that she had not seen an episode in years said the mother." Everyone broke out laughing as if I had been the victim of a bad joke. My guess is that it's like "HIMYM" should not be in the end, after the first few seasons. "This is so f * cked up!" my Mitbewohnerin--, also the show in years had observed non - yelling at our TV are Cristin Milioti in his hospital bed when she saw.

But life is cruel, as it with Ted since time immemorial and Tracy McConnell died.

It was not the happy ending, which we that we promised thought, tell the story of how Ted Mosby meets mother of his children as Carter Bays and Craig Thomas. To viewers, it should be a story about the search for your true love in a messy, mysterious city with best burger and stripper versions of themselves be filled. But instead it was a story, what you wanted to say, we never see on television. It was a total of nine seasons a long story about judging from loss, accept the increase in pain, the reality of friends drifting apart and the negation of the "one true loves." Ted didn't have a true love. He had two, maybe more. We can all be so happy.

But the pineapple incident never solved. Just to say.

Some stray thoughts... Robin's hair. With Robin's hair, went WTF at the present time? The Bob was someone not a favor do.A + return of the Cockamouse.Teds "ET" farewell to Lily at the wedding was the only moment to me crying. Anyone else?The last asshole used was very wise.Supreme Fudge tended on Twitter. It dominates.Alyson Hannigan is a gift to TV, if only because the whale Kostüm.Ein last "Murder train" song for the Straße.Hasse it to Marshall to break, but Gazzola in Chicago closed in season 5. nobody would eat this crap again.Ted's "grey" hair was most certainly blue.

Accused 'also tried to kill mother'/must visit

26 February 2014 Last updated at 16:26  Sean Hackett with Tyrone GAA manager Mickey Harte (right) and his solicitor at the funeral A County Tyrone teenager who shot dead his father had previously attempted to throttle his mother, a court has heard.

Sean Hackett, 19, is charged with the murder of Aloysius Hackett, 60, outside the family home in Aghindarragh Road in Augher in January last year.

The 19-year-old admits that he intended to kill his father, but denies murder.

His mother Eilis told the court two months before it happened, he had thrown a cord around her neck after breaking up with his girlfriend.

Mrs Hackett told Dungannon Crown Court her son was "someone she was very proud of".

She said he "never gave us any bother" until October 2012 when she noticed he had become withdrawn.

She said she was in the garage with her son examining a leaking tumble dryer when he began sobbing and told her he had split up with his girlfriend.

Mrs Hackett said she told her son not to worry as he was still a young man and would find someone else.

She said he replied: "I don't want anybody else."

She added: "I was turning to go out of the garage when I felt a lead being thrown over my neck.

Aloysius Hackett was well-known in GAA circles in County Tyrone

"I ran out of the garage door and Sean was saying 'I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it'. I said to him: 'You did mean to do it. What's going on?'

"He said that he wanted me to go to heaven to look after him and granda."

The sobbing mother said that her son's grandfather had died some time before and Sean Hackett was very close to him.

"I told him: 'I don't want to go to heaven. I want to stay here with you."

"He said: 'I hope you will always be very proud of me'. I said that I would always be proud of him."

The jury heard that Mrs Hackett took her son into the family home where his sister Aileen was sitting in the living room.

"He told Aileen all of what he had done. Aileen kept talking to him."

'Seriously wrong'

Asked by a defence barrister if she believed her son had lured her into the garage in an attempt to kill her, she said: "Yes. He said that I could look after him better there with granda. He was extremely close to his granda."

When asked if she could explain what had happened, she said: "There is no reason at all as to why he would want to kill me.

"I thought there was something seriously wrong. We were very concerned. We didn't know what we were dealing with."

She said her husband made an appointment the following day with their family GP, who said her son did not need any medication but recommended that he see a counsellor in Omagh.

She said she and her son later drove separately to the appointment, where he spent around an hour and a half with the counsellor.

'Almost like brothers'

Mrs Hackett said that following the incident in the garage, she had found her son had changed and would increasingly spend more time out of the house.

"He would keep himself to himself and started to go out and play pool.

"He would be very snappy at times and very vague in his answers." she added.

Mrs Hackett told the jury that her son and husband, who was known as Wishie, were "almost like brothers" and that he and his father had been going to football matches since Sean was the age of three.

On the evening her husband was killed, she said everything had been normal in the house and she had left for a GAA function in Omagh.

She said she received a phone call to say "something dreadful" had happened at home, and she went to her neighbour's house where her son was talking to police officers in a bedroom.

Throughout my life you have been a gentleman, a role model, manager and an inspirational figure to me”

End Quote Letter from Sean Hackett read out at his father's graveside She said she was told her son "wanted to speak to me in private" and the detective agreed.

"There was a single bed in the room and we lay down and hugged and cuddled each other. We were both crying," she said.

"I asked Sean did his father see him, and he said 'no'."

Mrs Hackett told the court that the day before the shooting, her son had told them he had received an invitation to play Gaelic football in the US in the summer.

She said that after his son was remanded in custody, he was granted compassionate High Court bail to attend his father's funeral while accompanied by his solicitor and Tyrone senior football manager Mickey Harte.

The court heard the family had been told that Sean Hackett had written a letter while on remand at Hydebank Young Offenders Centre in Belfast that he wanted to be read out at the funeral Mass in Augher.

However, Mrs Hackett said that it was decided that the letter would instead be read out during a graveside oration.

She then read the letter to the jury. It said: "To my special dad. This is just a few words I want to say to you as we send you to rest in heaven.

"Throughout my life you have been a gentleman, a role model, manager and an inspirational figure to me.

"All that I have done and achieved in my life I offer up to you. It is you I must thank.

"This is just a short note. He has been a great dad. I love him and I will miss him in my life."

Mrs Hackett said she tries to visit her son at least once a week at the young offenders centre.

"We were the perfect family. Sean loved his dad and vice versa. Wishie loved him."

A prosecution barrister asked her: "Have you ever ever asked him straight out the reason why he killed your husband?"

She replied: "No. I have not asked him."

Sean Hackett denies the murder charge and two others of possessing a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life.

The trial at Dungannon Crown Court is expected to last up to two weeks.
