Thanks for the writing compliment. I really don't like fics that deviate from the characters that the writers and actors brought to life. I've read a few fics that have Marguerite being all "damsel in distress needy" and those kind of fics make me want to gag (and some actually did make me gag).

I suppose the insights I have might be due to my being an amateur actor but I really think it's largely due to how readily I identified with Marguerite. :D She totally rocks.

I really have blocked most of that eps out of my memory. Lately when I've watched that eps, I only watch the beginning (cause of the R/M interaction) and the very end AFTER M/R & C are back...again for the R/M interaction. :D The rest of that eps is just filler. I would have much rather that they'd done a "clip" eps to give Rachel, Peter and Will time off. LOL
