That's true, iSYL was rare for revealing everyone's feelings (don't forget the paintball bit too ;D). We don't get enough character development IMO, and especially not lately.. funny is good but only if it's advancing the show along, if there's no character enhancement for a while it's just going to get boring. Unfortunately now what we have is a case of Dan reverting back to square (season) 1, in the character's behaviors anyway, with Carly chasing after different guys and Freddie and Sam doing the same dance they used to but that now seems out of place because they've gotten too much history bhind them. When are these characters going to mature and change, Dan? Is he really so lost for ideas that he's simply going back to what worked before? We want to see these characters grow up. I know I want them to-lately I just don't care about the friendship as much as I used to, and why? Because Dan isn't writing trio stories anymore. The comedy isn't much to speak of either, and hasn't been for more than a couple seasons, which is why we've been left with shipping as the main focus of the show to agonize over. Great planning, Schneider.
