User blog comment:CreddieLuv4eva/"Is it too late for you to love me?" Analysis Blog/@comment-3101374-20120627103929/@comment-3473808-20120628054914

Ok so I did read this comment earlier and it took me a while to formulate a proper response to it as well.

First-I agree so much with your first point. If this really is just a huge troll, Dan's gone past crazy cakes by now to go this far for drama. If anything, the biggest reason I think is that I have nothing else to go on, so right now I have to believe there has to be something serious behind the return of the crush (or love-as you said, Freddie and Carly have been close for years, and attraction springing from an already close connection has to mean more than just fleeting feelings-especially if they took place before <3). It's hard to believe Dan would do all this just for attention.

On the point of Sam and Freddie's "love", I have to say-I believe Freddie really does love her, and she him, but to me the confession in iLove You was of a friendship kind of love, otherwise they would have stayed together. It makes perfect sense than for Freddie to reassure her that he loves her then, as a friend (which did make it an aww moment for me). If they really loved each other romantically their relationship would have worked-but that's another issue. What I feel is that most importantly, they can't get along, because they're too different, and if they fight 90% of the time (as even iCarly.com said) then something just isn't working. Whereas Carly and Freddie are a lot alike, very close, hardly ever fight, blah blah blah-my point being that to me it makes more sense for a relationship to work for Creddie. relationships aren't just about attraction, they're about being considerate of the other person and maintaining a healthy relationship, and as you stated, accepting the other's personality and liking them for them, otherwise they simply can't work. Anyway sorry to get on a rant here, you just got me thinking.

Yep, I think Dan has gotten himself into a tight spot here for wanting to creat a little too much drama. You're not alone thinking there's too much, btw, because Dan's created a situation where I really can't see how he can end it while making everyone on the show happy (Seddie ruins the trip friendship, Creddie has the potetential of doing the same), short of going for a neutral endgame-forget about making all his fans happy, that's simply not possible anymore. I really do miss the days when both ships got little adorable hints and that was it...which brings me to my last point.

To me the most important bit in the episode that's being overlooked in the analysis of Sam's reaction is how Dan handles the scene with Freddie and Carly going to their respective apartments. See how Freddie's asking her to hang out and study again? how overprotective he got when she walked into Spencer's burglar trap? Those little nitpicky things remind so much of the old days before iSYL and give me the most hope that this is real. They remind me of the old days of Creddie, which is why I have some hope for these feelings of Freddie's being real and a significant point in the show's story, not a troll move from Dan. The only thing wrong with that is we still don't know how Carly feels, and if Dan keeps writing her as boy-desperate we might never know (but we better get a confrontation or something soon to clear this up, I'm tired of waiting).
