Bravo, Dan. You gave us a good finale. My biggest fear was iCarly's finale would sort of just be like any other episode, but it wasn't. It was sad and beautiful, I of course bawled like a baby. It was very touching and left me broken as a shattered doll. So much so that rather than watching the new Victorious that's currently airing, I had to play sad songs on my ipod and write this post.
It was really amazing to see Miss Briggs and Lewbert back. Would have been cool to see Wendy or Melanie though. 'Course there's still a chance Melanie could show up on Sam & Cat someday. And it was really awesome to finally see Colonel Shay. And all the characters were given a good send-off, Carly, Freddie, Spencer, Sam...
I know I should say something more, something better, to capture the moment. But either you felt it or you didn't. Either this show meant the world to you and now it's gone, or it just didn't. iCarly was a coming of age experience for a lot of us, and we're better people for it. Lord knows how very true that is of me.
Mercifully, we don't need to say goodbye completely. iCarly will live on in two spinoffs. Jerry Trainor has his own show coming up on Nick @ Nite. And Nathan's in an upcomming found footage film. And we'll always have 109 episodes of iCarly to return to.
And the cynics were outraged,Screaming "This is absurd!"'Cause for a moment, a band of thieves,In ripped-up jeans got to rule the world.
