“Sleep Talkin’ Guy”

I’m not a big fan of this episode. It did the cardinal sin. For most of the episode, it split David and Maddie apart.

It has actually been happening a few times lately, but this one of my least favorites from the last year of shows. David and Maddie had some scenes together, and they were great, but there was just too much separate without it being necessary.

The episode made David look bad. Made him look like a jerk. An opportunist taking advantage of a situation for nothing more than monetary gains and sticking it to Maddie.

I found much of this episode put David in a corner, a corner that did not fit his character.

A prostitute has a regular guy who talks in his sleep and just happens to talk about some of the criminal activity that he is involved in. The prostitute went to Blue Moon and came across David. She told him about the fact and he dismissed her. When he saw that the crime was done, he decided to try and cash in on it. He paid her to let him know when the sleep talkin’ guy would say something else.

David became really successful and apparently very much in demand.

The whole end to the episode was a mess as it ended up in a bar fight and Maddie, discovering the truth, punches David too.

Did not like this one and it is even lower for me than the Miss DiPesto episode. At least that one kept the characters the way they were supposed to be.
