Nice to see that you're still around, Neonpink. And, for the most part I agree with you. I don't mean to come off as admonishing Dan of any liability in his poor writing, nor am I trying dismiss any personal sentiments towards the appearance of that scene. However, Sam being betrayed by Carly and Freddie cannot be a canon result of that kiss. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you see it,) only Dan can make that decision. It's a point that I bring up because in my numerous and fruitless arguments with some Creddiers, they have a tendency to argue on behalf of Freddie and Carly, as if they are Freddie and Carly. And there's no difference in such tactics, even if one is arguing on behalf of Sam. I don't like Dan's explanation, but I have to accept it as the only canon explanation, in the absense of any dialogue between the characters.

My personal opinion is that Dan wanted to have his cake and eat it, too. When Sam & Cat got the green-light, I'm presuming he planned to end things on a Creddie note, while also luring the Seddie fans with promises of Seddie in the spin-off. I thought that as a writer who had a bit of integrity in and fidelity to his work, Dan would answer the question he ironically set up and that's: who does Freddie want to be with? He has used Creddie throughout the series to sort of "spur tension" between Sam and Freddie--and I'm among those who believe that Creddie was set up from the beginning to, for the lack of a better term, "birth" Seddie. So, Dan's attempt to somewhat implicitly validate both Creddie and Seddie simultaneously in the series finale comes off as you said: sloppy, skeevy, and poorly written.

Dan may ultimately answer that question someday, though what I gather from his explanation, it won't be anytime soon. And if Freddie isn't going to make a decision or a "leaning" as you used to say, anytime soon, then I don't want to watch how Seddie progresses post-iCarly. Now, I'm just trying to settle on the notion that it's no longer worth it--something with which I'm obviously having trouble, LOL.
