Talk:Seddie/@comment-3247345-20120305074721

Something @MiniRedCupcacke said got me thinking. Pretty much everything I'm about to say has already been said, but I want to ask a question in light of all this. We're all painfully aware that Dan broke up Seddie. But what was the reason in the show for the breakup? I don't think they gave a good enough reason. The real reason wasn't based on events in the show, it was based on Dan wanting to string the Creddie shippers along. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that the show itself doesn't give a good enough reason for Seddie to break up. The reason a lot people say the show gave is that they had nothing in common. But we all know that's not true. Sam and Freddie have plenty of stuff in common. They just focused on their differences to fabricate a reason to break them up. Looking at it closely, they did a terrible job keeping things consistent. Even Seddie had nothing in common, the obstacles they overcame were huge compared to something that trivial. First Freddie had to convice Sam he liked her back and convice her to leave the mental hospital. Then they had to get over their fighting problem and learned to solve their problems without Carly. Then they survived a concerted effort to sabotage their relationship by Mrs. Benson, Gibby, and Carly. That included bribing Freddie with $100,000 to break up with Sam and revealing that Sam sabotageed his chances of getting into NERD camp. After all that, they broke up because they don't like the same things. After all they went through, that wouldn't be a good enough reason to break up even if they didn't have anything in common, which we all know they do. The fact that they love each other makes this whole thing worse. So why did they use that reason even though it doesn't justify them breaking up? I think what happened was they couldn't find a really good reason to break them up after everything they went through, so they focused on their differences to fabricate a cheap reason for them to break up. Not only did they not give a good reason for breaking up Seddie, but they contradicted established facts in the process. This is a case of poor writing, something very rare for Dan. Before you tell me how well written the breakup scene was, let me say this. The breakup scene was very well written. The poor writing came in before the breakup scene. The poor writing gave the bad reason for the breakup, but the breakup itself was very well written.
