@Seth1028 - "Freddie at the vertex." Are you a math geek too?

I am glad you said this. I have mentioned many of these issues several times on both the TKTJ page on the Sam & Cat wiki plus the Creddie and Seddie pages here. He had grossly undermined the Freddie character since the Seddie arc: stuff just happens with his feelings; they never have motivation or direction. So Freddie can ask Sam out and then celebrate kissing Carly. Then he can apparently have feelings for Sam while going on a date with Cat because she speaks in Spanish. Ugh.

I think there are two reasons the Seddieness was rather superficial. One was that he needed to re-establish a baseline for their relationship. Also, if he developed Seddie too much, that would make an iCarly reunion episode more problematic because it would require squaring even more circles that he's driven the characters' relationships in. TKTJ had more Seddieness than I thought was possible - even though it was flimsy.

I also think that Dan Schneider underestimated the adverse reaction of Seddiers to "iGoodbye" and was afraid of irritating Creddiers for any future episodes. So he tries to pander to both sets of shippers - even at the expense of his characters.
