I wish we got more episodes that explored Margaret and the nurses and their relationships that were like. written well
#mash#margaret houlihan#I do like The Nurses but I hate the Margaret plot line in it where it turns out she's so upset because they dont talk to her#I think it would've actually been interesting to explore that through the nurses and Margaret discussing that#and Margaret being held accountable for how awful she's been to the nurses because she has been absolutely awful to them#multiple times#but the narrative instead acts like the nurses were at fault somehow and thats where it loses me#and its especially annoying because in other episodes Margaret takes more responsibility for how she feels isolated#and acknowledges that its her own doing#just. bad writing#the episodes that deal with Margaret and the nurses feel like they miss most of the time#and there's little to no consistency in those relationships#they dont particularly improve after this episode#Margaret being awful to the nurses continues to be a plot point in multiple episodes#and even then sometimes thats like. the intended plot point#but she isnt even being that awful#like in Images I think it is when she wants to transfer out the nurse who keeps breaking down#like sorry I think she was right for that#and the episode treats her like a villain#I could write an essay on Margaret's writing when it comes to her relationships with the nurses and where it fails#saw a gifset from The Nurses and didnt want to dump all this in the tags so here's this
