User blog comment:Electric Cake x)/ Your thoughts on Freddie's new behavior towards Sam/@comment-4542190-20120515082557/@comment-4196911-20120515235116

What I think is incredibly biased is actually claiming Freddie wasn't doing anything unusual or OOC in this episode. The people who are bringing that up aren't imagining it.

If Sam wanted a pear, she could have taken one? Really? The whole point was that he offered everone a pear except her. "She could have gotten one herself" completely misses the point of him singling her out on purpose just to be difficult and to give her a hard time - unprovoked. You keep bringing up the Techfoots example like it's relevant. It's not - we expect Sam to seemingly be mean for seemingly no reason.

Again, you seem to be claiming that what Freddie did was fine (or not unusual) because Sam has done similar things. They aren't the same character, and they don't approach situations in the same way. We expect Sam to tease Freddie and be rude to Freddie in the past, so when she does it, no one is suprised. We don't expect Freddie to do these things without Sam starting trouble first, so that when Freddie does these things, we're surprised because it's unexpected.

With your pro-Freddie bias, you seem to just take his behavior in stride because Sam is difficult in return, so you don't think what he's doing is unusual. Even if what you think Freddie did was perfectly OK, I honestly can't see someone saying this is no different from what Freddie normally does.

He hasn't behaved like this in a long time, if ever. Certainly not lately, and certainly not since they dated.
