This is a great post. The first thing that left me speechless was reading that the baby was David's. That's what I would have loved but he wasn't, right? I thought the paternity was stablished not only when Maddie said it wasn't his but also during the 'A womb with a view' episode.
I have to agree with Ilovewillis, for me "I'm married" is my JTS moment. That's the moment when all the magic is lost, the relationship enters into a comma and although they tried to bring it back to life, it slowly died. It would have been easier to see it end abruptly than to watch it as it slowly happened. I'm so glad I missed all that when it first aired. I would have been heartbroken every week until the end and then pissed off as hell.
Here are my two cents about Walter, as ridiculous as adding him to the mix was, I believed it because Maddie became someone spontaneous when she left in the middle of the night and headed to Chicago...so yeah, she proved that under pressure (for reasons only known to her!) she could be spontaneous. She ran away to Chicago because she felt overwhelmed with the relationship not moving forward (or so that's what I understood). David is the one that can't commit, apparently, so her answer was to run away. She decided to come back after accepting the idea that perhaps David was ready to commit but she got on a train and everything was flushed down the toilet. She married Walter to supposedly save David from becoming the perfect husband getting de-Daved forever...but wait, wasn't that what she wanted all along and the reason she ran away from him to begin with? So that whole thing, just didn't make sense. I know, Cybill was pregnant and that was the best they could do. In reality her marrying him was simply another way of running away from David. The funny thing is that the relationship would have survived all that, it actually did, when they see each other again for the first time in the office, it was there, it was alive and we could feel it. Until she said those words that changed everything forever: I'm married.
I tried the link to Maddie's diary, but it's no longer working... too bad. However, I don't think that anything that was written there would have changed how I feel about Maddie. As much as I love Maddie and David as a couple, I really disliked her towards the end. Specially when I realized she acted the way she did because she was selfish and shallow. She began and ended that way. It's true that she showed other parts of her character too but those two attributes stand out the most for me. It was always about how she felt, without taking into consideration how anyone else felt, specially David. He bent over backwards for her and it felt like that wasn't good enough for her. It seemed to me that the only time she could actually value David was when someone else wanted him, like a little kid not wanting anyone to have his toys even if they're in a box collecting dust and they only become desirable the minute someone else wants to play with them. Only when she saw Terry, she forgot about her little charade and left Walter in the altar. Same thing happened when Annie wanted David, suddenly he became the object of her affection again.
I really don't get why for some people the elevator scene was bad. I loved it when David held Maddie as soon as she began crying. I wanted to hug them both then!
