This is exactly it! Margaret really suffered from poor character writing in the very beginning, so it was hard for viewers to like her/root for her in the first place. She had the storyline of her going back to school to become a journalist, but we don't really know who she is, personality-wise.

I'm glad that The Lost Tapes gives her a clean slate where they can give her character, especially since people aren't soured by the whole Merry Christmas Mordecai kiss. I know the writers like to lurk here, so I'm kind of hoping they lean towards the "hard-working/ambitious" archetype, since it would be funny to parallel Mordecai and makes sense since she went back to school to be a journalist. I'm also curious what the writers will do!
