Don't Get Me Wrong, wrong

I'm at a restaurant and they're playing a terrible cover of "Don't Get Me Wrong" and I'm so sad. That's it. That's the post.

Tied with A Life in the Day but, same. Margo is my favorite character — her arc is everything, from "Margo's discipline is gossip" early days (I can relate) to High King Margo the Destroyer. It's one of my favorite examples of why women should write and direct episodes about women (if not all the time, then at least way more often). I have not read the books but I know that Margo is an amalgam of characters and there is no way Lev Grossman wrote this particular story (and Margos' journey overall) to be as impactful as it is, right? It reminds me of how Jacob Tierney (as a gay man) made Rachel Reid's Heated Rivalry story and characters soar.
