@Sweet- yes, it does happen in real life, but the point is, that being "your belief" is the very reason a lot of fans want something confirmed in canon- so they don't have to just go by what they each individually "believe"- I mean, ANYONE can make up their own fanon (I especially *prefer* it, actually, lol) but it still doesn't ever really lessen that urge to have some kind of official canon knowledge about certain things..

As a trio-shipper who usually doesn't care about canon at all, (fanon is where it's at, whoo) just wanna offer another pov on the iSaved Your Life thing. Carly didn't ~appear to be "sad" because she had already been infected with "doubt". Once you start questioning yourself, it be can very worrisome & since Freddie seemed to be *for* it (taking a break), she might have also worried that anything else she said at that moment *would* be cuz she was really just "under the influence" & so maybe it was better if she went along with the idea- maybe she thought if her feelings ~could survive however long a time-out they took, then later she would kno for sure that they were for real. After all- it's not like there was any rush or anything.. they're already good friends, they have all their lives for something happen. Also, sometimes it DOES take a major event for you to realize how you feel about someone. Just cuz that event was what made it possible, doesn't mean there's anything automatically artifical about those feelings.

So Carly's pushed aside her feelings this whole time, even tried dating someone else for a while. Unfortunately, that ended badly (it seems most of her relationships with other guys go bad, & usually Sam is involved somehow- making fun of Griffin's collection when Carly asked her for encouragement; planting that seed of doubt in Freddie about being with Carly; implying to Adam that Carly was with Freddie then getting Adam attacked by rabid iCarly fans; then when it was suspected Steven was cheating, Sam was the first one dying to prove he really was, even tho Carly wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt) & so now she's back to being single & maybe at some point she'll start letting those pushed-aside feelings come back to the surface again.. that is, unless it appears Freddie's already moved on, in which case she might just force herself to forget him. The same could be said for Freddie, he blames himself for initiating the break-up, & probably thinks maybe she doesn't really have those feelings for him, so he's trying to move on too. But he'll always still love her.. you may not always actively obsess over your first love, but the feelings do stick around, somewhere deep inside.. XDD

But yes, as for watching it regardless of who-falls-for-whom, everyone should! I mean, *I* only watch shows for the "shippy-factors".. but then I have TONS of shows & most of my fave ships aren't even canon, LOL ;P cuz helloo, seriously- what does a ship becoming "canon" actually ~mean anyway.. do you just reeally want to see them taking it to the next "on-screen" level, ie kissing/making out? LOL is that all that it's about? pfft, I'm just happy with the cute/emotional "totally soulmates" stuff we get already.. ahaha. My (various fandoms) fave ships already 1. finish each other's sentences 2. have adorkable "inside joke" moments 3. bicker like old married couples 4. get angsty over secrets & jealous over others 5. continuously risk their lives for each other.. really, the only thing separating them from being considered "romance" is that lack of ~kissage! lmao!
