---"I get your point, but I could buy that had Freddie NOT thrown his hands up in celebration. "--

Understood, though Dan admitted that the fist-raise was something one of the other writers thought up on set because he thought it was funny. I think they might have seen the humor in it without thinking through the implications that both sets of shippers would take from it. This shows one of Dan's unfortunate tendencies where he's willing to sacrifice character consistency if he can use the characters in service of some gag. The gag almost always comes first, and that hurts the characters (and the viewers who care about the characters) sometimes.

We sort of agreed on the Seddie forum that Dan might need a woman in his stable of writers. Because his "boy's-club" seems to think it's totally fine for a girl to romantically kiss a guy she has no real interest in as some sort of '"reward" (when she's leaving) because he always liked her. I'm a guy, and I don't like that mindset either. Maybe it takes a female sensibility to raise a hand on set and say, "Uh, guys? This makes Freddie look bad."
