User blog comment:Smartbook/What do you think of Dave?/@comment-27588345-20150105210357

OMIGAWD Somebody finally made a topic. And about time too, I was about to make one myself, and totally troll all of the Cody fans, ALL OF THEM!!!!!!'

Anyway, on to my 3rd favorite TDPI cast member, yeah that's right you heard me, 3rd. I liked Dave from the second I saw his silhouette, and yes like most people did. I thought he would kinda be like Noah. Unfortunately, TDAS happened and I was a little bit skeptical of him when I actually watched the show for the first time, in Italian.

I didn't really think much of Dave for the first couple of episodes, it was in an entirely different language, that I couldn't understand. So then I decided to wait untill the show aired in English, to avoid potential spoilers. This failed, mainly because I kept wanting to know what happened next. And then I made a promise to myself to not watch the finale.........and that failed too. Because I ended up watching it, without knowing why the turtles Dave was going crazy, and what evil he had done to deserve being left on an island to be mauled by a bear.

Of course the latter question was left unanswered as I watched the show in English. After I had finished the finale, I still wondered what evil thing he'd done to deserve that fate. The former question, however, was answered. I thought for a little bit that maybe Dave was a teeny bit clingy, and was kind of......weird towards Sky. But then I remembered that guys (and girls) do crazy things when they are in love with someone, so I thought that maybe Dave is more of a.....hopeless romantic? If he was a stalker.....then why didn't Sky tell him to go away more often? Heck for it, why wasn't he creeping Sky out then?

Thing is here though, with Cody it's different. Gwen had been shown to be creeped out by Cody at times, such as when he sniffed her hair because "it smells good". Dave however never really did that type of thing so.....not really. I think that Dave probably was really a good guy, but he just got lovesick, and as I said earlier, love does make a person do stupid or crazy things.

If anything, I don't think that was really derailment Dave went through....derailment usually happens over a long period of time, Dave only had 10 episodes of screentime, not counting his mention in episode 10 (Sky's first confessional, not the recap.) so no I really don't think of it as derailment. Episode 9, I think was the Juggy Chunks making him act funny (Remember what Chris said about the side effects of the Juggy Chunks).

And believe it or not, but for the first 10 or so minutes that he was onscreen in the finale, Dave was rather normal. Still a bit sad over Sky, obviously, but he was rather normal otherwise. It was really only in the last 5 minutes where Dave started to go somewhat crazy and even that was understandable. Think about it, if someone who flirted with you, nearly kissed you, admitted to liking you once, and asked you out on a date, turned out to be seeing someone and never tried to tell you about it, how would you feel? Ok with it? Not really......he felt led on, and wanted to get revenge on Sky for it..and sometimes vengeance can make you lose yourself.

So, in conclusion I like Dave a whole lot and wouldn't mind seeing him come back. I'm actually sort of suprised you had the guts to make this blog. Alot of people hate Dave, y'know.
