Yeah, I don't really want to get into this tangent too much.

My point was that Freddie became suspicious that Sam was right when Carly was pretending to be interested in his tech stuff. "You never found my tech interesting before", remember? Carly was acting OOC in that instance, which makes Freddie think, "She doesn't really love me. Just my hero-status."

His dialogue was important in that scene: "Nothing's really changed. You're still the same Carly, and I'm still the same Freddie."

Sam and Freddie certainly didn't have totally common interests either. They have some - they both like MMA and Sam is secretly tech-savvy. But the point is Sam and Freddie didn't try to share hobbies. It didn't cross their mind, because they're different people and you can be sure they realized that they are going to have different, independent interests and they don't have to share everything. Sam loves Freddie for who he is, but she would never pretend to be interested in Freddie's train club on her own. She'd just let him go off and do it by himself. She only did it because Carly suggested it, because that's what Carly would do with a boyfriend. Remember how Carly pretended to like Russian movies to try to land that smart guy in iQ? Carly has a shallow edge to her when it comes to boys, and the way she would do things isn't always the best advice.

Only when Carly suggested that they share hobbies did events happen that led directly to the break-up.

Of course a Creddier is going to think Sam should have stayed out of the iSYL situation. They want the ship to happen, so anything that threatens to derail it is going to be thought of as a mistake.

But if you're a Seddier like me, Sam's advice to Freddie was telling him something true that he needed to know. Again, if Freddie was sure about his relationship with Carly, he could have completely ignored Sam's advice. She's always messing with him - why should he listen to her? But this time it was obvious to me that she wasn't screwing around and that she was trying to give him serious advice. No games, no jokes, no pranks. If you watch the Ridgeway hallway scene again and listen to the dialogue, you'll see what I mean.

I also refuse to believe Sam would stand in the way of Carly's happiness if she really thought Carly had an authentic realization and was actually in love with Freddie. They're like sisters - no boy comes between them. Ever.

And again, I think the history of all the episodes after that one has pretty much shown that Sam was correct.
