Look out - iCarly question.

I was wondering if any of you have watched episodes recently that you re-evaluated as being better or worse than you remember them to be.

As an example, because of my theory that DS identifies with Freddie, Carly was his idealisation of a school crush, and Sam represented all his naysayers (i.e., he created iCarly to get back at people who had picked on him for being a geek, except they were meant to be in spite of the interference), I had to re-evaluate the entire Seddie Arc downward. If the episodes could be taken in isolation, they make a great instruction manual for how a real relationship with an amicable break-up can go. But, in hindsight, the anti-Seddie agenda - albeit far more subtle than the Creddie dog-whistling that came afterward - undermines the integrity of the stories so much that I could not feel as good about the episodes as I did initially.
