As most can agree, “Misplaced” was not a present like “How I Met Your Mom,” the place there was a easy, anticipated ending out there that would not have ruffled many feathers. “HIMYM” may’ve ended straightforwardly with Ted assembly the mom and dwelling fortunately ever after, however nobody can actually say how “Misplaced” ought to have ended; they simply insist it ought to’ve been higher than what we obtained. 

Even for the showrunners, the better half was determining not what they need to do, however what they should not: “Early on, we arrived at the truth that attempting to reply all of the unanswered questions was a recipe for catastrophe,” Cuse defined. “It was didactic and uninteresting and really, simply as Damon has mentioned, not true to life.”

Certain sufficient, season 6 of “Misplaced” was at its least attention-grabbing when it was attempting to supply solutions. Followers claimed they wished all of the mysteries solved, however when an episode like “Throughout the Sea” got here alongside — an episode that was mainly a 40-minute clarification of Jacob and the Man in Black’s backstories — it largely fell flat, usually being thought of one of many worst episodes of the ultimate season. Perhaps audiences did not truly know what they wished from the present, or perhaps the reasons “Misplaced” needed to provide merely weren’t that good, however both manner, the case was clear: a finale that simply targeted on tying up each unfastened finish would not have been effectively obtained both. As a substitute, “Misplaced” targeted on what it was at all times finest at: the characters.
