It was a good episode. I did laugh a lot, but I did go "OMG WTF?" at some points, like Spencer and Mrs. Benson... kissing? *shudders*

Great installment to the series. It really showed the emotional side to the show and included hilarious moments like when Spencer ran into the door in his room! Also, it taught us all that even if someone we love is totally insane, God made them that way for the better. The part in this episode I laughed the most at was the very end, with the Charlie Brown christmas reference (Where they all "ooed" Hark the Herald Angels Sing while looking at the christmas tree, which turned out to be better than they thought.)

when rona stomped on freddie's foot.. it reminded me of sam. hahaha

Yeah. When I read the description I thought of Sam right away, but Rona makes Sam look angelic.

I'm kind of mad now that Freddie's crush on Carly seems to have disappeared without any explanation or warning. He hasn't made a move in 2 episodes. While I'm all for Seddie, the writers can't just leave things hanging there like that.

Anyone see the iWeb award next to the tv in the iCarly studio? I thought that was pretty cool.

oh, i didn't notice that!

dan is so great at continuity.. even the hammer was there! lol
most kid shows would've forgotten little details like that

One thing that I noticed was the description for this episode on the Comcast guide. At the bottom of it, it said that Lubert was Carly's butler, in the changed reality I guess, yet no Lubert was shown at all. I bet that would have been pretty funny if they actually did throw that in the episode though. Too bad for whatever reason they didn't.

yea but then.. it's also a positive thing that his obsession for carly is going away. to have a mature relationship and to be considered as a possible bf.. he has to stop with the obsessing. it's like.. ginny and harry. ginny had to mature a little bit in order for harry to look at her in a different way.

it's funny.. i always referred to seddie as a ron/hermione thing.. and now im referring to creddie as a harry/ginny thing. so i guess we'll see which ship wins out.. the ron/hermione-like ship or the harry/ginny-like ship. lol

Before I can truly enjoy Freddie not hitting on Carly, I have to find out: what the heck is going on? Nobody just drops a crush just like that, it's as if all the flirting in the first 30 episodes never happened.

I understand that it would be hard for the writers to find a way of showing us the inside of Freddie's mind, since there are no monologues like in Ned's Declassified or The Wonder Years. Maybe he can confess his girl troubles to Spencer? Of course, Spencer's advice will probably be just as useless as the "fork in your arm" talk.

The thing is, in "iGo to Japan", we had the peephole moment, the plane moment, and the check-in moment, all signs that Freddie's crush on Carly was very much alive and kicking. Then we had nothing at all.

So while I agree there has been change throughout the series regarding Freddie's crush on Carly, for it to suddenly disappear is odd to me.

We'll see about "iKiss", probably Freddie's best chance to try and take another go at it. Chances are I'm overanalyzing and Freddie's just laying low.

I'm telling you it was the slap in the face! XD The pain made him give up.

Nah, I kid. You raise an interesting point. I would like to see what happened, but I expect Sam to call him on that when he kisses her. She's no back-up girl and she'll wanna know just what the heck is going on.
