Sooooooo sorry to not have replied before now. I, um, actually thought I had and just now realized I hadn't. *blush*
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you did like Maggie during your time when you watched Falling Skies. :D I think one thing that really has bugged me in the argument against Ben/Maggie has been the fact that she's 13 years older than him. :S
I mean, it's fine if you don't like a pairing or a character but to just be against it because the woman is older? Ugh! >:[ How common is a older man/younger woman pairing and most people shrug it off like they don't even see it. I just realized one of the main pairings in Terra Nova (just finished a rewatch so it's fresh in my head, lol ;) ) is Wash/Taylor and he's 23 years older than she is and I haven't seen ONE person mention their age difference! :S [/wow, apparently I'm easily miffed at the ol' double standard thing today, lol] ;)
Anyway! It's really so very rare for me to look back at something I've made/written/whatever and not be just mortified by it, so this was a nice change of pace! ;)
Thanks so much, hon! I always look forward to hearing what you have to say about whatever the subject is! :D And so sorry again for the huge delay in replying. *more blushing* *offers more cookies and hugs to make up for it* ;) ♥♥♥
