Jaw dropping good. (Like literally, my mouth hung open a little when I found out Max was dead, and her monologue with his memory solidified my love for her.)

I was a bit skeptical when Milioti was introduced, but I'm so glad they chose her.

The creators were able to, somehow, in this drawn-out as f**k season, tell a tragic, beautiful, funny, and, most impressive of all, concise story of The Mother's life.

(Also, HUGE props to whoever had the idea to make the receptionist the one who indirectly introduced them. That one put a sh*t eating grin on my face that lasted until the end of her song.)

That being said, it peaked at the end of La Vie en Rose, directly after she finished.

When the camera panned to Ted, I was hoping that they would finally let them meet.

But they didn't. This isn't the episode where the two of them meet. I was about to write a 9 star review just because they didn't meet.. But I decided to give it a ten.

I hate this cliffhanger... But I'll be damned if I don't have the utmost respect for its beauty.

Bravo, HIMYM.
