stalker: the simpsons

Chapter 8,
Being the last Simpson child, I thought that I should write about her before moving onto the parents. Not to mention the fact that Maggie is more independant and capable then she normallt leads on.
In this first season Marge writes about how Maggie is starting to walk on her own, which explains why she falls so frequently.
At the mall, Marge, Lisa and Maggie are looking at a toy display. I bring this up because to me, it looks like Maggie is focused in on the train, so she might want one when she's older.
Ok, after Bart gets his tattoo removed, Maggie is shown touching it, just like Lisa was. To me, I thought this represented Maggie looking up to Lisa, but then I remembered the episode where Maggie hit Homer in the head with a mallet. I believe the episode is named 'Marge Vs. Itchy and Scratchy', but that episode showed just how impressionable Maggie can be.
Maggie instantly loves Santa's Little Helper, like the others, and he licks her face. I don't know what it is about dogs and babies; it might have something to do with babies being messy eaters though.
And at the very end of this episode, we see Maggie riding Santa's Little Helper like a horse. Yes, it is cute, but I'm mostly mentioning this because she does this a few times so it's a behavioral trait that should be noted.
Maggie stacks building blocks that read 'EMCSQU', which ovbiously stands for E=MC^2. This shows us just how smart she is without much development. But then she knocks down the blocks which ciuld represent a destructive nature, or perhaps even the fact that she wants her intelligence to be a secret.
When Homer attacks Bart after using rhe word 'Kwyjibo', Maggie is shiwn hiding behind Lisa's chair. This could mean that she recognizes Homer when he is about to get upset and ducks for cover when she can.
Alright, at the opera, it appears that Maggie is sucking her pacifier in rhythm with the music. Not to mention the fact that Maggie watched the opera and rarely got distracted by her family.
When Homer basucally gives up and is laying on the couch, Maggie pokes him in the ege to try and get him up. Of course this does nothing so she simply walks away.
Ok, I know this isn't an evaluation of Dr. Marvin Monroe, but can we talk about the fact that he hooked uo a baby to a shock generator? I mean, she probably can't handle it as much as her siblings and parents, and babies love to push random colorful buttons. I seriously think that Maggie could have died from his incompetence. Unless there is a chance that he can adjust the amount of shock you get, but she is still a baby.
When Bart and Lisa argue, they ask Maggie to go to the one she loves best. Instead of picking either of them, she walks over and hugs the tv, implying that she loves it more then her siblings. Which, Maggie can be forgotten and left alone to her own device, and then TV is probably one of them.
When the Simpsons get stranded, and Homer and Bart go to find help and Maggie actually follows them. It's a little odd that she should do this since she clangs to Marge so frequently.
She unknowing scares off the men and is left abandoned in the woods. She finds herself face-to-face with a bear, and instead of being afraid, she simply gives it a spare pacifier which quickly subdues the creature.
So the bear carries Maggie safely to the den where the bears feed, care, and protect her. She is also shown riding on the back of one of the bears. It's possible that the bears were trying to return her, or maybe even tried to make her feed more comfortable with the knowledge that humans were around.
Now because she can understand the bears and they understand her, she managed to save Bart and Homer from their rage. Then she waves goodbye to her good friends and leaves with her family.
You know, I recall seeing an older Simpson episode from the Tracy Ullman Show and they sang 'Rock-a-bye Baby' bit in this episode it's a different song. I don't think I'll mention the Tracy Ullman Show often, but since the other rhyme gave her nightmare it's nice that they now sing something different.
After Marge kicks Homer out of the house, Maggie hugs Homer which shows that she really missed him.
Ok, so Maggie loves Homer, and we see that she is more capable the. Her family realizes. With this in mind, why isn't she more concerned about her father when he falls down the stairs and is unable to stand up.
In a letter that Marge writes to Bart, she says that she thinks Maggie will speak, and I find this funny because Maggie doesn't talk until the episode 'Lisa's First Word' and the family doesn't hear her speak until the credits of 'The Simpson's Movie' which is in between season's 14 and 15.
Honestly I haven't seen every episode of the Simpsons, but I think they are season 29 now; so in my opinion, if Maggie doesn't speak occasionally by season 30, then Lisa should be teaching her baby sign language. And it seems like something Lisa would do because scientists have proved that baby sign language actually helps young children develop communication skills.
Even though Maggie is very young, she loves Krusty the clown and is worried when she learns that he has been arrested. She is even shown sucking on a Krusty pacifier for the first, and most likely last time on the show.
As expected, Maggie has a bed time and she doesn't stay asleep when Ms. Botz starts going through the house. In this final episode, we really see how resourceful Maggie is, when she uses her toys to gently exit her crib. Not to mentioned the fact that Maggie is abke to untie her siblings after Ms. Botz ties them up.
But from what I know about Maggie this isn't that surprising. What's surprising to me, is that Maggie let Bart borrow her pacifier without any objections. I have seen many people who have had great difficulty in separating the two, so forgive me for being surprised.
And even though Bart is a wild card, she still trusts him to carry her on his back and not drop her. Well, that's it for Maggie so far, but I'm confident that like the other evaluations, this will get longer and longer.
