1. I always thought the 10 years were from after they got back together. I mean those kids look too old to be just 6, and that's if Ally got pregnant the very day they sorted things out.

2. I love to think of the series as Dez's Rockumentary, he just decided to make it a TV series instead of a movie xD

Overall, I loved the finale so much. I had /always/ headcanon-ed that they'd break up eventually because I always saw Austin and Ally as being a lot more mature than they were on the first time they dated, but not quite there yet. I just never imagined Disney would do it! Even if just to add a plot to the final episode xD Two in a Million is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. And I'm way over the targeted audience of this show.

There's something about A&A that captivated people, and I think it's the dynamic between Austin and Ally. All tween Disney movies and series are terribly tacky and I never see it as very realistic (I mean, I was the targeted audience for HSM and I was captivated by it at the time but God it is so mushy) but... There's such a great /balance/ in this show. It's /just/ too perfect and too cutest-coupley to be real but it's /just/ too natural to see bits of it in real life couples. Ships aside, the actors had amazing chemistry and I loved that - must be why I can't get behind Brady and Mack in Teen Beach, A&A set the bar too high.

I don't think we could ever have a relationship like that. Our lives aren't scripted. But I would like to see this - no matter in what angle, friendship, romance - as something we should strive for. As the type of relationship we would want for ourselves. I sure would want to have someone that loved me as much as these two love each other.

The flash into the future was great too. I loved that they turned the Music Factory in a museum, perhaps because it became too big of a business to stay in that tiny place. And Ally's name! Lol, they should have given Alex & Ava terrible middle names just to keep the tradition. I was a bit ticked off at how they made all kids carbon copies of their parents though. Blond kid, brunette kid, redhead and a mini latino... You can see nothing of Chuck in Maggie (Magnolia is a bit tok much xD). Though that may be for the best. Also, I wonder if Dez and Carrie really just mashed up their names to make Darrie... Y'know, consciently. Dumb + Dumb = Genius I guess!

I also found it amusing that Trish&Dez didn't happen, because I always envisioned Trish getting married and eventually divorcing her husband - probably after already having kids, and since I'm a terrible person I always saw Dez loosing his wife to something, like cancer. And I love the thought of the remaining spouses to get together. So it fit so perfectly in my headcanons that I lost my breath. Can't stop watching the episodes.

One final detail: I loved how they managed to make the characters mature when they were 22. They were still /them/ but they weren't as quirky as they were when they were 18. I loved that.

I can say that this fandom is easily the most spoiled one I've ever seen, and that's so cool |D They managed to give us a wedding scene, a future scene with all the cute little spawns, and even a freaking proposal scene. I think they all love this couple as much as we do. <3

So thanks for an amazing 4-5 years of Austin & Ally! I'll never be able to forget the one series that kept me in Disney until I was nearly 20 years old. This is a finale for A&A and a finale for my time as a Disney Channel watcher and pretty much of my teen years. And man, it couldn't have been better.
