For once I agree with Moneyballer, he makes an excellent point, everyone acts like Dakota's mutation also destroyed Dakota's personality, like she died out completely the moment she mutated. Now, I'm not justifying her mutation at all, what's to justify? But I am glad to hear someone else acknowledge that Dakota still retained her personality and was still Dakota even with this unfortunate physical transformation. Now if we could just see her reverted to her normal self, everyone may be happy. But her personality is truthfully still there and intact.

Yeah, sorry to segue there, I just had to acknowledge that point that was made.

As for this Dave thing.......I'm not so sure you can call this a derailment either. And if I may, he was not at all that hot of a deal when the season started out either. Was he bad with Sky? Hell yes, but his personality left a lot to be desired even before that came to its peak. A much less likable and sympathetic poor man's version of Noah I thought. With the attitude he displayed towards anyone who wasn't Sky, it was only a matter of time before he did something as messed up as what was in the finale when he couldn't have his way. Not that Sky is blameless, but I don't know what to say about her personally except that I sympathize with her more personally than I do Dave. This is a complicated matter to discuss.
