Talk:Seddie/@comment-5679407-20130102222329

What initially drew me to the concept of Seddie wasn't just the idea of a "love-hate" relationship or the idea that "opposites attract." I liked the notion that any two people can grow close as long as the right gears are set in motion. So a "delinquent" like Sam and a "nerd" like Freddie can fall for each other. Not just that they can fall for each other, but that their interaction would inspire a purposeful change within each other, as well. What I like about Dan's initial handling of Seddie is that it was subtle and paced well; he didn't rush it, and had slowly built a foundation.

No offense to Cam, and some offense to Creddie, :), but A LOT of how Sam and Freddie has changed from season 1 is a result of their dynamic relationship. In particular, Sam, who's behavior has changed noticably AFTER dating Freddie. Coincidence? Freddie is a lot more assertive, less sensitive, and dare I say, more confident. Can one honestly say that's a product of Freddie's relationship with Carly?

Had Dan "stuck to his guns," and handled iGoodbye differently, I would've commended Seddie, even when comparing it to many of the well done [i]adult-toned[/i] ships I've seen.
