SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
Many How I Met Your Mother devotees were enraged by the grand finale involving the death of a main character, and the reunion of Ted and Robin with the blue french horn.
Fans were all on the Twitter attack, rabidly sharing their thoughts with the show’s executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas about how they thought the season’s end was royally screwy!
While Carter kept relatively quiet on social media, Craig chose to take the finale’s criticism with an open appreciative mind in this series of tweets:
The fact that we have been a tv sitcom that has received this much passion from fans, for 9 years (not just tonight) — thank you.

We wrote a comedy with dramatic elements till the very end. Thanks for taking that ride with us. #HIMYM
— Craig Thomas (@HimymCraig) April 1, 2014
We did a finale about life's twists and turns and that is not always what happens…but THANKS!
— Craig Thomas (@HimymCraig) April 1, 2014
Seriously – no matter what you thought of tonight, THANK YOU…you were with us. We love you.

Though these words may have stifled a few HIMYM stans, it didn’t stop them from creating an AH-mazing alternate ending that they believe would’ve been much more widely enjoyed!
