I don't know if I went into this completely unbiased as I had known full well about the bad press surrounding Dave in the time I held off on watching TDPI, but I still tried to watch all thirteen episodes with as objective a position as possible, even with my reluctance and truthfully, lack of any true desire to sit through it. But going in and coming out of it, I can't think of much I really like about Dave as a character. His snarky, put-down attitude put me off quickly, a very unlikable version of Noah almost. And Dave got very creepy very fast. I get uncomfortable when I see a character come on so strong to another. Like Cody resuming his stalking of Gwen, or Scott coming on to Courtney with that "You clean up real good" comment, and I don't know, that sort of stuff doesn't sit well with me usually. And that's not even getting into his violent hissy fit in the finale yet.
