Talk:Seddie/@comment-5679407-20121118203459

Now that we've had time to digest this promo, I think it's time for us to collect ourselves. The promos are always misleading, so whatever considerations we make must be done with a grain of salt. Believe me, last night I lost my composure a bit (a bit?) but let's give Dan Schneider a bit more credit, considering what he's done so far. Yes, it does seem as though Freddie and Carly will kiss. It's fine, because without the context we don't know much of anything to be happy or angry. We can't judge an episode that's going to be an hour long, based on what we see on couple of seconds of snapshots and sneak peeks. So let's at least reserve judgement until the episodes airs in 5 days.

I will say this, and you can disagree with me, but Dan has a way of using Creddie to explore Seddie. In iSYL, the conversation that Freddie had with Sam was substantive in that we got to see Sam give Freddie useful advice about his relationship with Carly. In iSD, again, in what some would consider a Creddie moment, Sam was purposely put in the picture to gauge her reaction. Even in iOaR, we see that Sam is the one who picks up on Freddie's "new little crush" on Carly, and how it visibly affects her. It's possible that the Creddie kiss is more of a resolution for Freddie's long-time crush on Carly than it is the birth of a new romantic relationship between Carly and Freddie. And I'm sure we'll be getting a reaction from Sam.

If my self-serving rationalization explains somewhat of what's going on in iGoodbye, I'd still be a bit upset. I'm a Seddier, and I bleed purple, but I still think exploiting Creddie is a bit messed up.
