Carly used to call herself the future-mrs.-cute-boy in the OG, but usually just because he was hot and unavailable, not because she had a deep love connection with him. Freddie, however, was friendzoned from day 1 because she actually cared about him so much and i think on a subconscious level she knew that if she let herself fall, it would be real and scary. I hope next season she and Freddie have fun with the back-and-forth of proposing. Who will get to do it first and how? Did the crazy whirlwind moment pass?
This season has been the best yet. Also, although it the cliffhanger was shocking, it was also kinda predictable (or let me say foreshadowing) Carly's mum being talked about and also coming up was shocking. But it was predictable in a sense that when Carly brought up her mum, it was kinda expected that her mom would show up. Like her feelings about her mother emerged as an 'intuition' or premonition about what would happen. Even if she didn't know it herself. It's like she was kinda stressed about her mother all of a sudden cos 'fate' was bringing her mom to her. So from that perspective, it was predictable. But from the general angle too, Carly's mum returning was such a huge deal and surprise.
@@emilyberte3663 It's not Sam, clearly. Fred did not recognize the person. It was someone he did not know. And if it was also Sam, Carly would be more happier than just shocked. Sam may possibly return one day but that stranger is no Sam. It's Carly and Spencer's mom.
My theory regarding Carly´s and Spencer´s mom: She definitely failed as a mother, it wasn´t anything like being a secret agent or any kind of misunderstanding. Otherwise she could have reappeared years ago to clear things up. My guess: Spencer has his own life (with 11 kids) and his privacy. He got in contact with their mother (or she with him) some time ago and has forgiven her, but he never told Carly because she just didn´t want to discuss anything about their mother. But when Carly mentioned her that night (with the exploding fireworks), Spencer thought that the moment might have come to initiate a meeting between her and Carly. So he called her and the mother was to eager to meet her daughter. That´s why she appeared right away at the wedding. Is there any other reason why she would be there at that exact moment? And Spencer seemed disappointed in that "Mom?" moment, he looked like he wanted to say "Now is not the right moment. You should have waited!" to his mother. So Carly will be angry with Spencer at the beginning of season 4 for not being honest with her.
I LOVED this season. Such emotion, so funny, so much growth for the characters… it was the best one yet. I love the direction the show is going by not shying away from more serious topics and having the characters have difficult conversations. I really love how the writers approached Creddie this season… it felt so natural for them and was everything the fans would want. I was NOT expecting them to be ready to get married in the season finale at all. I gasped when they turned towards each other when they realized they were ready. However, regardless of whether or not it was “fast”, with the way it was written and acted out, it felt natural for them. I’m so happy 🥺 I can’t wait to see where this goes! This season seemed to be a major success. I’m sure season 4 will be announced once the strike is over. Hopefully!!! Also, are you going to do an updated creddie video? I think a season 3 creddie analysis would be great.
They have to announce Season 4 now cuz Carly and Spencer’s mom has been one of those things both in the original show and in the reboot that people have been dying to see and considering how the original show revealed their dad at the end of the original show I think we’ll see their mom when Season 4 starts and I think that the next season will focus on Carly and Freddie enjoying married life and Carly and Spencer’s mom could be a reoccurring character throughout the season and may even try to make up for the lost time with her children.
Now we finally know why Carly was reluctant to face her feelings for Freddie for years and why she put him in the friendzone as proxy. She was always scared to lose Freddie because most of the time she freaks out whenever she feels like she's losing him. The examples I can think of is when she heard about Sam and Freddie's first kiss and when she was leaving for Italy she was searching for a reason to stay so she kissed Freddie. I'm so glad that Millicent finally likes Carly after 3 seasons!
This show has gotten a lot more deep than I think anyone ever anticipated- Carly having an abandonment trigger makes so much sense with her character and it ties in with her leaving people before they leave her and also her issue with announcing that her and Freddie were dating publicly. It definitely happened when she was really young considering they even had clips of young Carly and Spencer living together and also why in the original show she bonded so much with Sam when they seemingly had nothing in common. I can't decide if I want their mom to be apart of their life and have an explanation or if it's just a way for Carly to process and accept her trauma
For a season that started so great, then became decent in the middle part of the season, this finale was damn good. For one thing, thank heavens they did not get married. Again, I get so many Creddie fans wanted them to get married but I think it would’ve minimized the epic build up that got them together in the first place so I trust that the writers will come up with something big later on if and when an actual proposal does happen. I don’t think we’ll hear of a Season 4 renewal anytime soon just because of the current writers and actors strike and even if we did, as long as that strike is not settled, no one is reporting to work. I feel like some people don’t understand that, some fans that have started “I want a season 4”, not to bash them cause I myself want a season 4 especially with that cliffhanger BUT again, all that stuff needs to be settled first. Back to the episode and the ending, that was quite something. It will be wholly good to see the backstory of the mom, the reasons why she left, and the feelings that both Carly and Spencer have. Miranda’s facial expressions were perfect as was Jerry, as you could see the shock yet pissed off face he had. If I had to rank this season’s episodes from best to least, I’d go: 10-3-2-1-4-9-7-5-6-8. I’m curious as to what yours is. I’ll have more to add later on, but as always man, great review 👊🏾
Thank you! Always love to read your comments, you make a lot of good points. I think all parties in involved want a season 4, just need to solve this strike, and hope iCarly Season 4 is a sound investment for Paramount. I’m also happy they held it on the wedding, just wouldn’t feel right.
I loved this episode it was so Crazy especially the ending scene where Carly and Spencer’s mom returned to the series. So I really really really hope that we’ll get a season four and season five
The series was cancelled. Paramount+ already spoke about it and said that they feel the show is complete with Carly and Freddie being together. Such a terrible decision, I hope they lose a whole lot of subscribers for such incomplete work. Ending a series on a cliffhanger. Children would've written a better series finale.
I recently realized while watching this episode that I think Freddie has either met or seen their mom before because if you pay attention at the end when Carly sees her mom and Freddie turns around he seems to be surprised as to see her meaning he knew who it was
Great episode and great ending, i just hope we get a season 4. However it strikes the question, why did Spencer and Carly's mom visit them at a wedding that's not even theirs? For that i have a few theories? 1) As we saw Spencer trying to tie up loose ends during this whole episode, id be willing to bet that he always had a way to contact his mother but never did bc of what she did to them, and as stated in this episode Carly never wanted to talk about her. However after he had his heart to heart with Carly talking about her, id be willing to bet that there's a chance that he swallowed his pride and maybe finally called or emailed her and left her a message about Carly needing her. 2) Same theory as theory one but instead of contacting his mother Spencer actually told everything to his Dad who in turn swallowed his pride and contacted the mother. 3)Same theory as theory one and 2 but instead of contacting his mother or father Spencer actually told everything to his grandfather who in turn swallowed his pride and contacted the mother. 4) less likely but maybe the mother finally went to visit them after so long at their apartment building and then someone their told her that they went to a wedding. These are my top theories for why the mother finally came back and for why of all places she is visiting Carly and Spencer at a wedding venue, what do u think?
@@vjlong4581 Okay so after episode 3 of this season was posted paramount plus posted a list of shows that are staying, and shows that are canceled and not surprised #ICarly is hear to stay
Am I the only one who thought for just an instant, that somehow, someway, Paramount+ pulled some magic and got Jeanette McCurdy to make a surprise cameo as Sam at the end of the episode, and that's who everyone was reacting to?
I refuse to watch an episode until I watch your recap. I screamed! I thought it would be Sam, but HER MOTHER?! Oh my god! Hopefully another season will happen, and you’ll be recapping again! Love your videos!
Thanks :) That moment was crazy, the way they drew it out had me in suspense haha, I really thought it might be Sam. And yes, let’s hope for that season 4!
I loved most of this episode. I loved that Freddie and Carly had a talk about the future of their relationship. I also loved the fact that Carly's and Spencer's mom was mentioned in the episode before she showed up at the non wedding of Lewbert and Mrs. Benson. I was disappointed that Lewbert and Mrs. Benson didn't get married. I know that they wanted to elope in the first place but, when much of the season is set up to have a wedding, I expect a wedding. I think Freddie and Carly will not get married immediately and there will be a romantic proposal sometime in season four in either Italy or Japan. But, Creddie will move into together in season four and the wedding will be at the end of the season. Gibby can come back then. Tinsley can be written out of the show and Harper will stay on the show as Carly's friend. 9.5 out of 10.
Is anyone else a little upset that Carly's mom showed up out of nowhere? Why would she be at Marissa's wedding? And it was so odd how Spencer jumped into frame when the "mom" appeared
That's the main question I've been pondering. Why is she all of a sudden in Marissa's wedding? They gotta do some serious writing to justify her presence at the wedding.
@@christiankarlkarganilla2763I think they may try to use that moment in which carly was on live at the beginning of the scene her and spencer’s talked about their mom. Either carly forgot didn’t actually end the live, therefore, carly’s mom heard them speak. OR Carly’s mom saw Carly planning the wedding on live before Carly ended it and it sparked her mom to want to show up for Carly some reason
I wonder if Freddie has met Carly's mom. They were friends as kids before the original show aired and we don't really know when Carly's mom left. I would love to see another Q & A after this episode.
@@mayflower7811I think Freddie also met carlys mom but wasn’t comfortable bringing Her up because he probably knew that carly and Spencer would either be mad or upset if he brought her up or her name I think same thing with Sam Sam probably wasn’t comfortable talking about carlys mom because she knew or figured that Carly and Spencer would either be mad or upset if Sam brought her up or her name up
I can see Freddie & Millicent moving in with Spencer he has a lot of space. I wonder if we’ll ever see Potter & her mom again I miss fashion designer Harper. This relationship focused Harper is boring & very un utilized. When she was focused on her passion & dreams she was very entertaining. Next season is definitely going to focus on Carly & Spencer’s mom so I hope Mr.Shay makes an appearance we need to see that family meeting. Who do u think will play there mom? Millicent…seems like the writers never knew what to do with her character. She has 1 liners & is sarcastic & has seasonal friends. Next season I want her to have a passion or goal to work towards the end of the season. Kinda wish she left with Gwen because she’s not bringing anything to the show so it’d make more time for Harper.
Paramount+ already spoke about it and said that they feel the show is complete with Carly and Freddie being together. Such a terrible decision, I hope they lose a whole lot of subscribers for such incomplete work. Ending a series on a cliffhanger. Children would've written a better series finale.
The comment about Carly’s mom and Freddie’s dad turning out to be married was so out there but that also would have been incredible! Maybe too farfetched but it would’ve been SO intresting!
For season 4 #Creddie should just consider dual partnership especially since Carly identified Freddie as her person. This is the whole point of dual partnership so that both sides of the relationship can come together as equals. Plus Carly and Freddie both have issues with marriage this might be a better solution. Not to mention dual partnership is all the rage right now among millennials and Gen Z
I am damn sure that the show won't end like this. That could just make Paramount+ ratings go down. We will definitely get a new season but it might get delayed due to the WGA strike.
@@xvgm24 yeah I know... But it can still be saved by another streaming platform or Paramount itself because of the petitions and trending #SaveiCarly #WeWantiCarlyS4 hashtags. We can still hope for the best
I like would like to see at least two more seasons one Creddie gets engaged and then one where Creddie gets married! I’ve an idea for one episode: Nevel, Nora, Chuck (these three were nailed spot on by the characters who played them!) and maybe more iCarly villains team up (since they failed individually) to go for one plot to destroy iCarly, but in the end everyone makes amends and that’s why you see the former villains in the wedding! I was thinking just be at least two or parter though
Right..Superstore was my other fav show..loved the Danika character..they did her soo qrong😅..hopefully we still get more Danika, she is hilarious 😂 🙏🏻..
I watched the scene of her mom being explained on nick rewind and when carly said "expect mom" I paused my phone and walked out of the room bot being prepares for what was coming next,it wasn't as sad as I thought but it was still so sad
Oh they definitely won’t all fans want creddie they will not do that, her mom is there for some reason we will find out she may have secretly been friends with freddies mom but idk
I think Courteney Cox should play Mrs Shay in my opinion. I also hope we get to see Socko in person and maybe Gibby. Also, I still hope for a Victorious reboot
I am begging to the gods that this show will not be a victim of the writer’s strike. Also why are iCarly finales so dramatic? The writers love their cliffhangers
The final scene makes very little sence. Sure I guess it makes sense Carly doesn't wanna run out on a family like their mom. But we're discussing marriage, not having children. She's sort of jumping the gun. Why suddenly bring up the question of Carly's mom in the first place. Carly's mom doesn't make sense as its a venue for Marissa and Lubert. Unless one of them actually knows Carly's mom, why would she randomly show up. Maybe she has a new boyfriend she's gonna marry and was checking out the venue. Considering we don't see their mom it means they dont have someone to play her yet, which to me comes off as rushed and last minute. I would perfer this episode without the aspect of Carly's mom. Maybe be afraid that its too soon. They've known each other for years yes but they would need more time to see if they're truly compatible. Overall, I enjoyed this season less than the others
I think the outcome of this episode can only be evaluated after we see the season 4 premiere. It’s like we have seen half the story. I can’t wait to see how they will explain Carly’s mom showing up!
It may seem like it’s jumping the gun, but look at it from the perspective of Carly’s parents’ relationship and how it impacted Carly and Spencer: When Carly and Spencer were young, their mom walked out on them, essentially walking out on her marriage to Carly and Spencer’s dad too. Carly likely gets freaked out by marriage because of this not just because of the idea of “I don’t want to do to Freddie what mom did to us”. In her mind, it’s very likely that she doesn’t expect relationships to be long lasting because her mom didn’t make the effort to stay in their lives, so she’s afraid of marriage because of the idea that someone will walk out instead of committing to the relationship and the family being built. That’s also probably why Spencer had a lot of commitment issues in the original series with his own romantic relationships. It’s very likely the same subconscious issue for him as well. This is just speculation from how I’m reading the situation.
I hope there will be a new season, I can't with the uncertainty. Although I don't know why I thought, what if the person who arrived is freddy's first ex-wife? Xd
I feel like the marrige question will be a red hearring, and they won't go through with it, but will instead decide to move in together, alas Monica and Chandler from Friends.
I want season 4 to be the end! We have had already the plot points that we want and have it end with the answer of the big elephant in the room Carly’s mom!
Great review, I loved the finale, and I am reallyyy hoping a season 4 does come! Are you going to do a video ranking the episodes of season 3? I enjoy those videos a lot :)
One theory I have which is far fetched but sounds cool is that her and their dad were a military/military couple, and both served in the Air Force as pilots. She dropped Carly off at Spencer at a young age with the intention of coming back for her but never told them where she was going possibly because she was called on a mission that was top secret. While she was flying she must’ve been shot down by a Surface to Air Missile or she tried saving a squadron mate but got shot down by an enemy aircraft. Because the mission was secretive Carly, Spencer and even their father did not know she was shot down and thought she abandoned them when in reality for 15+ Years she was held as a Prisoner of War by the enemy and maybe either they released her or she escaped and knew where they were to hopefully surprise them after watching her live video after hearing about her being a successful influencer from her coworkers or husband. Maybe in season 4 she will try to redeem herself but both Carly and Spencer are furious at her for leaving and not coming home until maybe one of her friends or their father with now the details of the mission being declassified or Freddie using his tech skills manages to somehow gain details on the mission explains to them what happened and she explains to them her love and eagerness to get back to them was what kept her going and fighting to get back to them. Season 4 I feel will become epic.
@@williebelcher9303 Not with that attitude. Maybe if we all beg and ask Jennette real nicely, she might return for the wedding. If not maybe they can deepfake Sam into the scene. If they get married, Sam is no longer optional.
This was the last episode of the entire iCarly franchise. Paramount+ doesn't deserve to exist after cancelling this show with so little conclusion. I've found better writing in an elementary school classroom. If this show ends here, I'm sending just one message that will cost Paramount+ several thousand subscribers.
They would about have had to film the next part, so it wouldn't look strange for a continuation for next season, if there will be a next season, right? On the other hand, I guess it could start later, and we could just hear about what happened. I don't know. I just really hope there's a season four.
yea i think they'll just pick up the story a few days laterrr or something. cuz i can definitely see carly storming out at that moment and spencer saying that now is not the right time and they could tackle the issue some time later or idk hopefully we'll get to see
Very good season hope we get a season 4 and we find out why Carly and Spencer mom left I don't think anyone accepted this to be the cliffhanger i didn't love your reviews
The cliffhanger definitely opens a new potential story line for the next season, but also can fit as a series closer if the show were to get cancelled.
@@ThirdWindHow are the views, do you know? Let’s say this strike completely resolves tomorrow, hypothetical. Is there a good chance iCarly will continue?
