I didn't enjoy the first half of the episode. Carly spent so much time crying that it was pretty OOC, and I disliked the Gibby subplot. And yes, Sam and Freddie so quickly accept her leaving was OOC considering the way they reacted in "iWanna Stay with Spencer" and "iMight Switch Schools".

Regarding shipping, I am glad it didn't exactly end with a canon ship, but I agree that there were too many teases on both sides for them to get away with a shipless ending. However, this is probably the best for the fans. I found Freddie's role in resolving both Seddie and Creddie to be a little awkward. He considered getting back together with Sam but then kissed Carly and raised his arms triumphantly within such a short time frame. Well, at least both groups of shippers got their moment.

I did like the way they created closure. The Spam scene was definitely great, and I appreciated the moments between the trio. It was nice to see Ms. Briggs again, but I didn't find Lewbert's appearance that necessary. I appreciated Colonel Shay's appearance, and I liked their flashbacks to the pilot episode and previous iCarly webcasts.

Overall, seeing as I haven't loved most recent episodes, I can't complain about the finale. It was an appropriate ending to a relatively well run show.
