What you said, how Denny could have come across as creepy so easily.
Oh yeah. Especially in his first few scenes with Izzie, before they've really gotten to know each other. I was totally succumbing to JDM's charm, and still thinking in the back of my head, "Whoa, did he just say that to a woman he doesn't even know?" And Izzie's all, "ZOMG, hot heart patient flirting with me," but I'm thinking that if he'd walked up to her in a bar and started spouting that crap, she would have found a reason to be elsewhere in a hurry. I hope so, anyway.
Funny thing is, though, the thing that just totally wrecked the character for me whasn't even one of his creepy flirtations. It was when he was angrily telling Izzie why his life sucks and death is not a bad option for himself anymore. He described himself as "a strong, virile horse of a man" stuck in his wasted body. I just went, "Oh, Denny. Did you just say that with no irony whatsoever? I'm sorry, but we can't be friends anymore." I just, who talks like that?
