User blog comment:Serene Girl/Sam & Freddie - Breaking The Emotional Shell/@comment-3221718-20110430065635

You're right. So very totally correct.

That's why I've always thought of Sam and Freddie's friendship and relationship as the most complex and interesting in the show. It was never just pointless violence, no matter what anyone says. To her it seems like playful teasing. To him it seems like physical and emotional abuse. But really, it's actually broken him out of his shell.

Great blog.
