haha, yeah, lol you tried and succeeded. ;)

1. Characters need to develop and change. I love Sam, but there are just times when I want her to grow up. As a viewer, I grow up with the characters. If Sam and Freddie were to just bicker and make out with no character or relationship development, it's not worth the amusement or entertainment. I have faith in Dan as a writer to go about setting a smooth transition from the seddie friendship to the seddie relationship. I'm already seeing it in the sneak peeks. Sure, they were fighting, but why were they fighting? Because crazy and sweet Sam with her good intentions went about defending her boyfriend the wrong way. But slowly, you are able to see Sam trying to convince Freddie that what she did was for his benefit--trying to make him understand. That's already a huge step for Sam. Being patient with him and trying to get him to see the situation through her eyes, rather than forcing him to. Dan's already taking a step towards the change in their dynamic. It's a slow process, and they're still entertaining to watch. ;)

2. I see what you're saying. It can only be assumed that Freddie felt completely fed up with Sam. The reason I feel this way is because Carly states "It doesn't even matter if you apologize. You went too far this time." Could Freddie have possibly mentioned his frustrations with Sam off-screen? But you're right. It is more of an opinion. But I do have to disagree about Carly telling Sam to apologize to Freddie. Carly actually did the exact opposite of encouraging Sam to apologize. Technically, if anything, Carly actually discouraged it by telling Sam that there really wouldn't be a point. About Sam arguing against apologizing, she actually never did that. She stuttered and stumbled with her words, trying to justify her actions. But the look on her face shows just how guilt-stricken she really was. In my view and the way I interpreted this scene based on Sam's character, I saw that Sam had obviously been in denial all week. She wanted to believe she didn't do anything wrong, that she didn't really hurt Freddie. But the fact that her best friend who loves her more than anything in the world gave her a reality check made her realize just how wrong she was. Carly also would've been satisfied with Sam's online apology, that much is obvious. Carly would have no longer been upset with Sam as long as Sam could finally admit to the whole world that she was wrong. But did Sam just leave it at that? No, she didn't. She admitted a humiliating secret just so she could even the score with Freddie. So she could make it up to him. Because finally, Sam had to come to terms with the fact that Freddie has feelings too, and she should be careful not to bruise his ego. And Freddie's acceptance of Sam as a friend and her treatment of him did come from feelings. Platonic feelings? Probably. But they were able to reach an understanding and appreciation of each other after iKiss. I took that to mean that they were able to reach a compromise. Like you said, most of this is based on my opinion and the way I interpret the scene. ;P

3. He's actually started the fight quite a few times. Not as much as Sam of course, but he definitely has called the shots before. Aha, very true. I actually never denied that Carly enjoyed the attention she gets from Freddie. I obviously don't view this as a sign of Carly having hidden feelings for him though. In my opinion, Carly just liked the attention because it made her feel...special. In my opinion she liked knowing that no matter what happens or how many guys she fails with, Freddie would always be there telling her how perfect she is. She liked feeling secure and knowing she could turn to Freddie when it was convenient for her. I feel as though Freddie's crush on her fed her ego. I don't mean this as a bitter argument against Carly, it's just the way it has always seemed to me.

4. lol sorry. I guess that point just slipped past me. Fixing their relationship and getting them to fight less really has nothing to do with the fact that he wants her to be more like Carly. If all he wanted was a Carly clone just because he couldn't have Carly, the last person he would be dating is her spunky polar opposite Sam. Freddie knows he could never turn Sam into Carly. He fell in love with Sam for Sam not because he had images of transforming her into his own little Carly puppet that he can control. Freddie's not like that. If he wasn't satisfied with Sam and wanted her to be more like Carly, he would've realized that by now. And if he had realized that, he wouldn't have led Sam on for so long if he wasn't sure if deep down somewhere he might still harbor feelings for Carly.

lol it's getting late and I'm tired, so I hope this made sense. If it didn't, I'll go over it tomorrow or something and make sense of it. ;P
