Making Gibby a main definitely hurt the show; some of his subplots (like in iDo or iStart a Fan War) were just completely pointless, he would have been better off with staying a recurring character.

Dan went a little crazy because of the shipping, I think ... a LOT is wrong in and around the arc;


 * Sam just started wanting to hang out with Freddie after the opening credits of iOMG; there was no trigger, nothing that explained her changing her behavior towards him. The ONLY thing that changed was that Brad was hired. Them having a major fight or something some time before or something similar to that that would have made Sam realize that she might lose Freddie if she keeps acting that way would have been more convincing.


 * In iLost My Mind, I would have expected Carly to try and have a serious talk with Sam, instead she just went "Oh, you like Freddie, that's awesome." and then started running around the room screaming "Sam loves Freddie!" Would have expected some more friendship interaction there.


 * I think of the webcast as kind of an admission that Seddie is fanservice; Given Sam's character that she doesn't really care what anything but Carly thinks, it doesn't make sense to have a fan survey if they should date from an in-universe viewpoint (not to mention the fact that letting other people decide about your love live doesn't make sense at all).


 * Freddie all of the sudden knows about the chip in his head; we NEVER had an episode showing him finding out, that would have been a lot of potential for character / relationship development for Freddie and his mom.


 * Sam just mentioned something random we never heard of before as the point when she started to like Freddie; that could have been fixed simply with adding another half-line mentioning the events of a previous episode; It almost seems as if they didn't care about answering any questions, they just did some Seddie, end of story.


 * And of course, as you mentioned, some after-break-up talk between Carly and Sam was SERIOUSLY missing (but actually, that was missing in iSYL, too); They are best friends, best friends DO talk about their break-ups and that stuff, don't they?
