It sounds like she took advantage of him. She knew Matt couldn’t remember anything, even who he was. They even said it wasn’t the point of the show, so why have any romance-centered drama? Why not just give little tidbits here and there that Matt and Kitty are together and just leave it at that? Also, I found Mike creepy.

For not wanting to mess with romance, some of the writers sure messed with it-and not in a good way. I can not suspend my disbelief that much. 🙄🙄🙄 And who proposes to someone they’ve known for at most a week? Bro, no one does that! That was such a poorly-written episode. I’m so sure Kitty would throw away the love she and Matt had spent years building for some guy she’d known for only a few days. (Pirates of the Caribbean, Downton Abbey, & The Office all suffered the same fate, unfortunately.) I also thought “Kitty’s Love Affair” was god awful. It’s sad when something genuinely good wears out its welcome because milking the cash cow becomes more important than producing high quality content. And this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I thought the last 3 seasons were superfluous. Sometimes it’s best just to let sleeping dogs lie. All of the Gunsmoke films were completely unnecessary. Everything with Matt & Mike Yardner is right out of a bad fanfiction or a soap opera. Just, dude, I’ve read plenty of fanfics that are FAR better written than that garbage. The Gunsmoke films are what Cursed Child is to Harry Potter.

#Gunsmoke dry road to nowhere movie
It was so obvious that that movie was written years after the Mike episode. Why wouldn’t she tell him about the baby sooner? Oh, that’s right: because Mike was never meant to be a significant character. Everything with Mike Yardner and Matt plays out like bad fanfiction, especially the movie where he learns he knocked her up, so they have a daughter…ALL THOSE YEARS AFTER THE FACT.
