Oh, okay. Yeah, I totally get your antipathy towards the RL Thatcher you're referring to, but I've managed to dissociate dS Thatcher completely from her in my head. And yes, she's unevenly written, especially in the later episodes, and you have to kind of pick and choose when thinking about her character.
The thing about Maggie is that I think in some ways she's more ruthless and less bound by principles than Fraser. Maybe because she has to work to overcome the image of being a blond beautiful woman and appearing less dangerous than a big muscled man? So I think it could be interesting to see her in any casefic, actually.
