@Thomas, while they were both unintentionally unsympathetic, I still prefer Shawn's one, because he had some degree of redemption while Sky had none. With Shawn and Sky they felt like they were going in opposite directions; Shawn started off unsympathetic but later tries to improve, while Sky's morality degrades over time. Shawn felt unappealing at the start, while everyone was meant to side with Sky over Skave. Then along comes Terry McGurrin's atrocity Hurl and Go Seek, and their roles are suddenly reversed; Shawn went to a lot of effort to make it up with Jasmine, while Sky pushes Dave further away and shatters him.

Based on this I prefer Shawn's ending, it just felt more complete. And if Sky won that's even worse for Dave. Just my take on it.
