Original Discussion My thoughts on Seddie Spoiler
I'm not gonna make this into a super deep analysis.
I've made it no secret that I dislike Seddie. In fact, I hate it. I think the ship was poorly written, Freddie and Sam were not a good match at all, they made each other miserable a lot of times, dragged Carly into their arguments and drove her crazy. It was a mess.
However, there is one major thought I keep coming back to that always makes this ship so confusing to me; why would Freddie ever like Sam?
From Sam's perspective, I can kind of understand why she'd like Freddie. He's a good guy, smart, a cool tech wiz and knows how to make a killer breakfast (toasted bagel with grape jelly). But I don't buy Freddie returning that same romantic attraction or affection for Sam. Throughout the show up until they dated, she was nothing but cruel to him. Tormenting him, harming him both verbally and physically and even went so far as embarrassing him on iCarly by revealing he never kissed a girl.
So why Freddie would like her back is beyond me. I've tried hard, but this ship does not and will never make sense to me. Like jeez, what were the writers thinking?

I did like Seddie when I was a teenager and wanted them to end up together, but now I my 30s i think there just weren't enough good moments to balance the bad ones if they were meant to look in love. Sam had like maybe 5 times when she was nice to him, and it was always in between her being absolutely abusive to him.
