@Purple: Totally agree with you that shipping should have received closure in iGoodbye, so they tried to have their cake and eat it too. The Creddie kiss was obviously a way to pander to Creddiers while leaving things somewhat open-ended to keep Seddiers watching S&C for Seddie.

For HIMYM, they seemed bent on misdirecting the fans and were stubborn in only letting all this drama play out in the last episode, so it felt like a slap in the face over and over throughout those 40 minutes. My problem is they had this ending planned so long ago; they should have been able to write towards it in a way that doesn't anger most of the fanbase. All they did was drop a few hints throughout the series without writing the development that comes with it.

@Embargo: While you are right about that being the perspective of many of the Creddiers especially on the wiki, and I agree that they felt closure from the episode, I would avoid generalizing all of them that way. If I were a Creddier, I wouldn't have been happy with the ending considering Freddie seems largely conflicted about everything and Carly's kiss just seemed out of the blue; it hardly seems like a win for anyone unless you merely just accept the kiss as a confirmation of feelings.
