User blog comment:Bolivianbacon/iSAFW: Epic or epic fail?/@comment-4184884-20110809160256

Few points.

1. As many said, a "boyfriend of the week" for Carly is not a surprise. This is typically par for the course with iCarly. The boys don't stick around for long (unless they're Gibby or Freddie of course.)

6. I suppose you could say the speech was hypocritical. But I think he had a point. It was his way of trying to say, "Yes, romance is going to be an issue, but don't get so wrapped up in it that you miss the comedy." I think it's a valid point, though he may not have articulated it well enough.

9. I wouldn't expect that. This episode was meant to be a discussion over the two main and most likely to be canon ships. It was priming the audience for what was to come in terms of canon. Cam would never actually be canon on the show. It wasn't really apart of the creddie vs. seddie debate because it's not, in terms of canon, an actual threat to either. Not to mention, I'm not sure he could get away with a reference to two young female leads in the show being in a romantic relationship, even in passing. Blame societies screwy views.

10. I could see Dan using it as a way out, which is sort of lame as I don't think it gives full closure. But it wasn't just that Carly and Freddie denied dating. They denied being in love with one another. That's fairly significant and I do believe people were supposed to take Freddie's comments more seriously than it seems many did. I think iSAFW was meant to set up Seddie by showing Freddie's lack of feelings for Carly and for some reason, so many people seem to ignore his denials in this episode. They were there for a reason.

11. Ehh...shippers can be crazy sometimes. He had a point. People need to be able to make fun of themselves.

Though I do agree it was a great episode. Dan had a valid point, about focusing less on shipping and more on the comedy, but his execution wasn't too great and I think his timing was bad. It made him look kind of hypocritical.
