I don't see a problem with Freddie having muscles. What a lot of you seem to be forgetting is that Freddie isn't the same person he was in season one. He's grown and changed in many ways. He's certainly not as much of a geek as a lot of you are making him out to be. Not anymore. Freddie, I think, is much cooler and smoother now than he was in season one. Recognizing that, I think the muscles are appropriate for the character as he is now, whereas they wouldn't have been in season one.

And I wouldn't worry about Freddie changing his and Sam's dynamic by becoming stronger than her. For one thing, she was able to beat him in three seconds in a test of strength in iOMG. And secondly...no matter how strong Freddie might or not be right now, I seriously doubt he's able to knock out a truck driver with only a carton of milk. Sam can, and has. Sam will always be stronger than Freddie, no matter how big he gets, and that just adds to the comedy.

I don't really mind Nathan:ns beard. He shaves for iCarly, and I don't think he looks bad with it. But I can't say I would care if he gives in and shaves it off. It's his face.
