While I prefer CJ and Mordecai together, I  also truly do like Mordecai and Margaret together, even if Margaret didn't have much of a character. Margaret, while undeveloped, is still a very likable character. As people above have stated, the development that came for Mordecai from being with Margaret was great, both the good and bad. When Mordecai planned to ask Margaret to be his girlfriend, I fully supported it. Mordecai had gone through a lot with her, and he finally seemed ready to take that step.

I'm glad she was able to go to school; college is not something that should be thought of as ridiculous. Besides the writers, there is no indication anyone forced the idea of going to college into her mind. She wanted to go into journalism, and worked hard for it. She loved Mordecai, but she only had one chance to go to her dream college, and she didn't want to hurt Mordecai by attempting a relationship while far apart. There's a lot of high respect for actions like that.

CJ has won me over because of her more established personality (flaws included), but just because I want her and Mordecai to be together doesn't mean I think Mordecai and Margaret were ever awful together. There's a lot of good that came out of the romance, but it was for Mordecai's sake, not Margaret's. If she does come back. she needs character development of her own. I want to say she was a developed love interest, but unfortunately she wasn't. I enjoy her character, and I don't hate her, but after seeing what the show's done with CJ so far, I think Margaret wasn't the best.
