Season 7 has felt like they are consciously avoiding all the love triangle stuff. Did fans really react that strongly? I think it's a nice change of pace from Season 6, but I miss CJ a lot. I didn't like her too much in the beginning because her personality is quite strong, but she's grown on me and her chemistry with Mordecai is just fabulous. She was really good for him. He even seemed happier with her than he was with Margaret.

I was never a Margaret fan - her personality's too flat. Can anyone name one negative Margaret trait? I can't think of anything. And that's just it - we're all 3D because we have good and bad traits/habits. Margaret's just ... nice. It's pretty obvious they've been trying to flesh her out more since Season 6, but truth is, she'll never ride motorcycles, or come up with creative surprises, or worst of all - make actually funny jokes.

If you notice, everything about Margaret and CJ is different, even their context to Mordecai. Margaret is also a bird, making her seem aesthetically more compatible with Mordecai, so it's easy to naturally want to root for her. But CJ's not afraid to "challenge" her dates, introduces Mordecai to new experiences, and never has one dull moment. In fact, she and Mordecai have infinitely more fantasy adventures together, and she saves his @ss on many occasions. So their relationship has always felt more real with a strong connection, even though they look so different from each other on the outside.

When they finally conclude on this show, I hope they do the triangle justice - either go with what feels real, or have Mordecai not choose either. It would be a huge shame if he ends up with Margaret because they simply have nothing in common that will keep them properly together in the long-term.
