User blog comment:Serene Girl/Sam & Freddie - Breaking The Emotional Shell/@comment-1976613-20110430010346

Wow...you wrote my exact feelings about their friendship in a way I wish I could have wrote it. That's why the Sam and Freddie friendship to me is the most interesting one on the show, anti-Sam people will just see Sam's abuse as pointless violence, but it does have a purpose. Sam is a huge reason why Freddie has matured so much since season 1, Carly too with her support and sympathy, but his interactions with Sam are what really guide his decisions/feelings (iKiss, iSYL, you can also say iOMG even though we don't know how that is going to end).

As an add on at first I thought you were talking about Sam when I read the first sentence, but then I read the second and immediately knew you were talking about Freddie. So absolutely true and so well written.
