I think we ALL love Dave (in a manly, platonic kinda way). There are parts of him in all of us....some we like to show to the world, and some we keep hidden, only to reveal to ourselves. Very true, gray. Only some of us love him in an "I'm happily married and he's a TV character...but that's totally normal, right?" kinda way.

4 . 6. About David's behavior at the church: is he trying to make Maddie jealous?
Yes and no. Terri is there for a reason – to support him in what is likely to be a defining moment in his life (based on if Maddie goes through with the wedding or not – notice how, despite his sickened state, intently he was leaning forward during the ceremony).
Ooh--love this point! I had noticed it, but hadn't thought of that angle--great! It only occured to me because it was the same "hold your breath" expression I got whenever watching David & Maddie in an intense scene together. Surely the hangover wasn't the only reason he was feeling so miserable on that particular morn.

I concur with the latter sentence and your assessment of David. Though I probably identify more with Maddie in terms of personality, I find myself empathisizing more with David (IBM, please sign me up for the next Dave Rave . Right on, moonbeemer! You're signed up! I'm making place cards! LOL!

4. Why did Walter marry Maddie? (Maddie) was a damsel in distress and (Walter) wanted to be her knight in shining armor. Nice concept! Not so nice for Walter, that job was already taken, only not by the shining statue Maddie envisioned, but rather by a man in tarnished armor that was dented and missing a few pieces (probably from a few too many limbo competitions ).

Gosh! I still have some pressing business pressing! LOL! ;D 6. About David's behavior at the church: is he trying to make Maddie jealous?Oh, I think he is. Wait, I'll explain myself: I believe he didn't take her to the wedding to show her off. He did it because he needed an emotional crutch to lean on. BUT, at the wedding...Look at how he mimics the act of embracing Terri when Maddie is walking toward the aisle, and JUST when she's looking at them! And look at the spiteful grin he has on his face!!!! ;D Boy, if that's not an attempt at making her jealous...

hey all you cats and kittens! LOL WOWEE! i just finished reading this whole thread! it is amazing! Ok tell me now do you all answer the questions first or read through the whole thread first? LOL Cause i have to read what you wonderful people wrote first, i get giddy waiting to read your answers LOL Ok it's late and i'm bushed so lets see what i can answer now. Oh and you guys are really hysterical. Some super funny things were said in this thread! 1. Why do you think David really wants to throw a wedding for Maddie? i think he did it to get to her, to piss her off, to call her out on it and to prove its all a joke . 2. Why do you think Maddie hasn't told her parents about Walter, like David guessed? Just like everyone else said, cause she didnt think about what she was truly doing by getting married so fast, it would make it all to real, maybe she hoped she never would have to tell them LOL Maddie also didnt seem to be big on telling her parents alot. 3. There is much argument on if Maddie lied about David not being the father of her baby, so in regards to her speech in the hospital, where she tells David she wishes with all her heart the baby inside her was his, does it make you believe she didn't lie then to David and really believes the baby is Sam's? AHHH this scene really is fantastic, Cybill just is so right on in this scene with her emotions. PERFECT! I want to believe from this scene that Maddie has seen all that David has done for her, and by witnessing Terri and David, she has witnessed her and David together in a way. She really wants a baby with David and wishes it was his now so badly it hurts. Like the others this is definitely one of the rare honest as can be moments for them, like MTTC. SIGH!

When she tries anyting unplanned...a date on the town....a joke about a duck....a marriage....it goes completely awry. Ok I must say i about fell off my chair when i read this! The duck part did me in! LOL Graycav you are super! LOL

And luckily he does LOL LOL Rose !!! ;D But what I meant is that Dave is kind of a twin brother to me... There are just too many things we have in common! We're both childish! We're both sensitive BUT misunderstood... We both had to take a lot of c*ap...Well, maybe a different quality of c*ap, you know... LOL! ;D We both wanna have fun! YEAH!! Oh, and we both like singing, playing music and wearing Wayfarer and Clubmaster sunglasses! I'm not in love with him...I just relate to him. It simply comes natural to me to understand his inner world. P.S. I'm a Big fan of Bruce "Bruno" Willis, too!!! I think he and Dave have got A LOT in common! IMO, that's why he managed to portray his character in such a stunning way! His performance in ML is timeless.

4. Why do you think Walter married Maddie? For one he just met her and he knew of all her baggage , such as David and the baby. When it all blows up at the end , do you feel bad for him or feel like he should have known this would happen? OK it's just as weird as Maddie marrying a stranger, we know she walks the straight and narrow and it think Walter does too. Was he so taken by the whole experience with her? like it was a dream world, alot of people do this when they are drunk(see FRIENDS episode where Ross/Rachel get married in Vegas ,they were driunk! LOL) Well i dont think they planned it before they stoped off in vegas, it was spontaneous and like Graycav said,mAddie doesnt do spontaneous well! LOL I think Maddie really spun a story for walter, yes it was true but he didnt really take it to mean alot i guess, and yeah Maddie is one drop dead gorgeous woman who the heck wouldnt marry her it wasnt until they got to the real world where David was and then it all starts to hit the fan so to speak You have to feel alittle bad for walter, he wasnt obnoxious to David and flaunting in his face about marrying maddie, he was warm and kind to David, extending an olive branch to him. But yeah Walter should have seen the end wasnt going to be happy for him and Maddie. Ok i must go to bed NOW! LOL Thanks again guys! And thanks again to IBM! I will finish up tomorrow here with my answers!
