Favorite Episodes of Season 7

[marple]

I'd like to start our favorite episodes of Season 7.

Sue's gNightmare on Maddiefs Streeth is always full of fun to read. It has adventure, silly chase and love scenes. And of course they fight hurtfully and eventually make up. Itfs a great entertainment of Moonlighting.

I really like the plot that the compatibility and incompatibility between the two are coming alternately along the story. This is thrilling like ropewalking! I enjoyed the dynamic sequence from the damn cat chase to the fight between those two, and finally relieved to see that in the nightmare she reconfirmed her love for David and the true value of her life. She learned great!


And I always love how Sue describes Maddie, about her feminine side and weakness and sometimes her sadness... and Maddie is usually determined, but unstable at times. When she is being insecure, feeling uncomfortable, she swings into action which is almost out of her character, well itfs actually her own character. ;D

In this episode, Maddie seems bewitched and wefre going to see how easily she is affected by the mood surrounding her. She is becoming insecure after the first meeting with the young girl. And I think the last nightmare reveals that it is actually about David, she is subconsciously being jealous, worrying about her age or money and their future. But she always doesnft admit it, and when David tries to intrude himself on her, she becomes aggressive to him. She says something to hurt him in spite of herself, I think itfs because she is insecure. On the other hand David is really sweet, isnft he?
It seems that this is Maddiefs character flaw and I think I like it. I think Sue has shown when and how Maddie tends to make mistakes and whatfs going on in her blonde noggin then in this fantastic episode!

"Up the Down Rabbit Hole "is Lizziefs first Virtual Moonlighting episode, and I feel as if we are invited to the good old Blue Moon office. David is completely absorbed in playing Pedal Ball, the staff is playing basketball while the bosses are out. The peace of Blue Moon has come back!

But soon Maddie and David have got a child issue. And it interested me to know how they were going to deal with it this time.
In the beginning I was concerned that both of them didnft seem very happy about their discovery. But reading along the story, I thought itfs great that they talked about it with their honest feelings, being considerate to each otherfs feelings.
They are not ready for having a baby, but certainly have a little hope for itcsomeday.

I think this is a great story about becoming a parent.
Every parent is required to have many responsibilities, but in this story I think love is more than anything else for kids and David and Maddie have it.

Maddie is impressed by David pretending a proud papacshe happily dreams that the day will comec I really like this scene, funny and heartwarming and glad to see he makes the use of his knowledge from the past.

David reveals his heart while they are investigating the tough background of the young girl, he reacts as if itfs his own matter.
I was impressed by the scene where he was so upset at the news of the dog. He was not able to figure out what was disturbing and hurting him then. And I think he was angry at the cold, hard facts of the situation that many young living things were treated so badly by adults for their own convenience.
The argument between the two reminds me of the old amazing discussion, ghe is so mad with loveh vs. gshe is so sure of realityh.
And I was surprised to see that David being still confuzed came to tell Maddie gYou are righth. The scene is really touching! I suppose his heart suddenly swelled with the love for her and the coming baby at the moment. Maybe he believed it coming. And he knows only Maddie can understand his hard emotion and live with itc just my guess, indeed.

And the case is interesting, complicated; I enjoyed reading with drawing the family tree to understand it. Burt brings the great information about the family, they solve the case. Later David finds the truth hided by Mrs. Hubbard, but then he takes care of it as he thinks best.

Finally, I always love Lizziefs powerful writing about David Addison. I think she has created many amazing battle tactics and fantasies between David and Maddie as well as Diane has.
And he is still fun-loving, quick and daring. He makes his silly jokes and funny comments everywhere quite timely. At times he straight goes crazy or tough on Maddie when he feels she is really wrong.
On the other hand he reveals his genuine heart, loving and warm, and insecure. He has the both characters that are angelic and devilish, and is as adorable as he was in the show! This episode is the opening of it. We can more enjoy the character development of David in Lizziefs later episodes. And it is really fun and stunning!
Thanks, Lizzie!

When My Heart Finds Christmas...by Diane and Lizzie

I have really enjoyed this and the following beautiful Christmas episodes in recent years. It always has been quite a great reading. And while reading this year I seem to realize a little about David referring Dianefs insightful comment gDavidfs driving force is happiness. He lives his life in search of happiness, and it motivates him.h

It is widely known how much David Addison loves Christmas like kids; he worked happily in Santa-hot-line in Season 2, and likened happiness to Christmas many times. And he sometimes acted like a teenager when it came to happiness. I once wondered why he enthusiastically sought happiness and especially in the Christmas season, and thought itfs just because of his optimistic naturec

In this episode Maddie and David share each onefs Christmas experiences when they were kids. Maddie was definitely a happy child throughout her youth. But Davidfs story is moving: he spent really happy Christmas time while his mother was alive, his memories of his mother is very alive with his affection for her, maybe it was his happiest moment in his memories, I think.
I read that after she was gone, Addison family turned dreary: there was neither their terrific Mom nor the joyful atmosphere made by their parents. However, fortunately Addisonfs men are always positive, they made another way to be happy with presents and a real family Christmas. It would have filled the hole in young David's mind. But I think he had known, having been excited about those presents, the fact gwho knows what'll happen next year?h I think it indicates that he was suddenly taken away his beloved mother c And I felt him as if his memories of true happiness had stopped at that point and he might be always back to his childhood when he was happy.
In this way I have understood why he lives only in the present, greatly enjoying now, and why he pursues happiness like kids. But I have to say that David acting like a kid is adorable and in fact he is not selfish or childish at all, (except for Annie arc!). He just wants to share big fun with all, and all he planned for the Christmas is devoted to the others. He is definitely not happy if he canft make Maddie happy.

I loved 'Nightmare on Maddie Street' - why didn't they actually make this one? Love the comedy/romance balance in this - was a joy to read and the mystery kept you hooked. Maddie and David at their best! Also love Moonlighting Adventures in Babysitting - the bed time stories really had me chuckling! Again, could really see this as a real episode! Boy these writers should have written the fifth season - they could easily have done those season 5 writers out of jobs. Maybe they could write the come-back special? Loving this Virtual Moonlighting. Would love to write an episode myself. Feel a 'Anselmo's Fire' coming on... xxxx
