Dave hate is so OTT and he's one of the biggest characters in PI and it astounds me how unpopular he is

I personally actually like Dave. While he's kind of been slipping from my positive view lately, I would still say he was intriguing to watch from a psychosis point of view when it came to Skave. I'm also going to be in the really small minority here and say that up until he became in love with Sky, I actually DIDN'T like him like others did. While other people saw a relatable normal person in a cast of crazy people, all I saw was a really annoying buzzkill who just had to give their two cents and ruin the fun for everyone (and he wouldn't stop belieeeeving in Leonard either).
Thankfully Dave eventually became crazy due to becoming obsessed with Sky. Now I don't really need to go into detail about why Skave is so great but the point I will make is that Skave is a series of tragic misunderstandings between two people who started out pretty run of the mill, but then Dave takes his crush too far and tries completely idiotic means to gain her attraction in him that the old Dave wouldn't do at all, while Sky gets herself caught in this crush and is struggling to tell the truth that she has a boyfriend. I thought it was an exceptional plotline, and for a season that some people complain is "unrealistic" I think Skave was actually a perfectly realistic two-sided attraction that gave the saddening viewpoint that yes, some of your attractions will end in a horrible scenario. And you'll probably either be attracted too much, or toy with someone's emotions because your emotions are all over the place. I guess the only issue I do have with Skave is that it almost completely limits what Dave and Sky's actions are throughout the season, much like Topher's interaction with Chris. But considering it's a much better storyline, I can cut it some slack.

I guess people just miss the point of good writing
