Chapter, Maggie season 2
[Bart Gets an F]
Technically, as a baby, Maggie doesn't really have any responsibilities. So listening to the radio to hear the closures just means that Maggie gets to spend more time with her dad and siblings. I guess Maggie really likes hanging out with her family.
I'm a little surprised that Maggie didn't hold Maggie when they were all ice skating, I mean the baby almost fell. Lucky for both of them, Santa's Little Helper was right there to stop Maggie from falling. Maggie and Santa's Little Helper are pretty close and there are times when they play or work together. So you should remember this bond when you're writing.
Looks like Maggie is just as worried about Bart as the rest of the family is. Though she probably doesn't understand why her brother was doing this.
[Simpson and Delilah]
I wonder if Maggie would have ran up to Homer and hugged him, like Bart and Lisa did. It's a little hard to see, but Maggie was swimming in the kiddie pool in the backyard. Actually, I can think of a few times that Maggie plays in the pool. Perhaps swimming could be a passion of hers. Or even a career if she is good enough.
[Treehouse of Horror]
Heh, Maggie's eyes just dart back and forth when her siblings fight. But what else could she do?
You know with the Treehouse of Horror stuff, you really got to take some of the information with a grain of salt. But I do find it interesting that Maggie doesn't seem to be afraid when she is floating around the room. Perhaps this is because she is so use to someone holding her, that she doesn't even think about it anymore.
Not only did Maggie recognize the fact that the 'severed finger' was actually Bart's, but she went a step further and sucked his finger which grossed him out. Smart baby.
On the alien spaceship, when the aliens talk about the feast, you can see Maggie eating her food like everyone else; utensils and everything.
Aw, Bart carries Maggie out of the treehouse again. Isn't that sweet?
[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]
Hm, looks like Maggie can easily get out of her high chair when she wants. And we also see Maggie using her binkie to eat her food. She really does love that thing.
Aw, Maggie is sleeping against Bart, she must really trust him.
You know, with Marge and Lisa on team Bailey, and Homer and Bart on team Burns, I wonder who Maggie would have sided with. Perhaps to be funny she would pick someone who wasn't running, or she could simply not care.
I wonder why Maggie was sitting on the arm of the couch instead of beside Lisa? There was more than enough room for her, so she should have been golden. Perhaps she feels so comfortable on the arm because she is so use to sitting on someone's lap. Or in a rebellious way, she could be doing it because she knows that she won't get in trouble.
[Dancin' Homer]
I assume that "Nuclear Plant Employee, Spouses and No More Than Three Children Night" is an annual event. So if last time the Simpsons went, then that means that Maggie is less than a year old. I know that they don't really age, but still.
Maggie didn't seem embarrassed, like the rest of her family. If anything she seemed to enjoy it.
Seriously? Maggie is sitting in Tex's lap? Perhaps this shows that Tex has been really getting to know the Simpsons.
I love how Maggie raises her hand to show that she is all for the move. The Simpsons have a sale to clear out some stuff and you can briefly see the way that Maggie is sitting in front of the tv. Which makes sense if you remember the 'moaning Lisa' episode that shows that Maggie loves the tv best.
Aw, Maggie cheers for Homer too.
[Dead Putting Society]
Maggie seems excited over the chocolate milkshakes. Since she doesn't actually play the mini golf game. Hm, then again, you don't really see her drinking the milkshake. Perhaps she likes going because she can crawl all over the displays as if it were a playground.
[Bart vs. Thanksgiving]
I think Maggie was smart enough to realize how important that center piece meant to Lisa. So she would have understood what it meant for her to add that little squiggle of color to it.
If Homer continues to watch football with Maggie, then he can teach Maggie all about it and they can bond over it. Heck, at this rate all of the Simpsons will be a football crazed family. It is kinda cute that Maggie continued to watch football without Homer. This hints at her actually enjoying the sport.
[Bart the Daredevil]
Again Maggie is unreasonably calm when the car gets eaten with them within. Even if she doesn't completely understand what is happening, all that back and forth should have scared her a little.
Ok, so when Captain Lance Murdock makes his jump, Marge does cover Maggie's eyes, but I feel like Maggie would have watched the whole thing like Bart would have. Remember they tend to make her smart like Lisa, but a bit more rebellious like Bart.
[Itchy and Scratchy and Marge]
Ok, now in this episode we see just how influenced Maggie is by Itchy and Scratchy. But why Homer? Maggie sees Itchy hurting Scratchy and the relationship isn't the same. I think there are times when Itchy and Scratchy have a real friendship. So it is possible that Maggie thinks that they behave this way because of how good their friendship is. So if Maggie keeps attacking Homer, this could actually be a sign of how much she cares for him.
But she hits Homer in the head with a mallet and she breaks his head. Ok, perhaps we have underestimated the strength Maggie has. Homer gets hit in the head a lot; heck when he boxed it is revealed that Homer has a condition where he can get hit frequently without any brain damage and such. He has had things thrown at him, fallen on him, and he fell down Springfield Gorge twice; and yet Maggie is the one to actually break Homer's skull? She must have a heck of a right hook.
She also tries to stab Homer with a pencil, but that's kinda over looked.
It did work, you know. When Marge changed the way Itchy and Scratchy could be. Maggie got Homer a glass of Lemonade.
[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]
It doesn't seem like Maggie really did anything in this episode, even though she did see Bart throughout this whole incident.
[One Fish, Two Fish, Blow Fish, Blue Fish]
Ok, so in a later episode, Homer tells Flanders that he lost the camcorder. So that could possibly mean that the video Homer made for Maggie is lost as well. So can you imagine how Maggie would react to the video. She would want an explanation for why the video was made.
[The Way We Was]
I think that Maggie really did enjoy Listening to Homer's story, even if she may not remember it down the line.
[Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment]
Heh, dang Maggie is excited to have cable too. But you still see her petting and sleeping with the animals more then actually watching tv.
Like any baby, Maggie keeps throwing items into her he cart when Marge isn't paying attention. But she also breaks a jar of strange orange product.
Hm, with someone who loves television so much, it is almost odd that Maggie would protest with Lisa against the tv.
[Principal Charming]
Maggie was hardly in this episode, so I don't have much to say. Other than Maggie looked surprised when Skinner asked out Patty.
[Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?]
I bet Maggie would participate in this 'Are we there yet?' Routine her siblings already do.
Maggie seems to bond to Herb instantly, this is probably do to the fact that Herb and Homer look so similar. So it would make it easier for Maggie to trust Herb.
Where is Maggie? At the pool you see Bart and Lisa swimming, but also you see Marge, Homer, and Herb sitting by the pool, but not Maggie. Did she need to be changed? Or perhaps she is playing elsewhere? Also, where is she when the family did the boat/pony ride? At least we get to see her with the penguins at the zoo, even if she is just standing there.
[Bart's Dog Gets an F]
Now Marge talks about how all of the women in her family could sew. And since Maggie clearly has Bouvier blood, it's only natural for her to be good at sewing as well. Not to mention the fact that Lisa started a new quilt for her family. So Maggie can add her own patch to it when she gets older.
Ok, now it is so cute that Maggie hugs Santa's Little Helper to protect him. She loves him, and you know what, it's probably because Maggie doesn't really have friends of her own.
[Old Money]
Looks like when they spend time with their grandfather, Maggie gets to sit up front with her parents.
Bart asked his grandfather for a tear gas pen, a blowgun with paralyzer darts, nunchakus, a comic, a baseball card and a monkey. Lisa did remind her grandpa who really needed money, but she asked him for a pony as well. And I kinda wonder what on the world Maggie would have asked for, huh? Makes one think.
[Brush with Greatness]
Ok, this is probably another thing that Maggie will do just because Bart and Lisa do it. They just repeat and repeat their request until Homer finally gives in.
In the Rock-a-Bye Riptide, the pool is only two inches deep at most, but Maggie goes straight to it. This shows all adventurous side of Maggie that would leak into her personality later in the show.
Heh, even Maggie, who can't talk, avoids looking at Homer when he asks if he is over weight.
Hm, Maggie seems to really like Mr. Burns when he is over. She hugs his leg and she even reaches out to him when Marge holds her in the air.
Maggie stays with Marge as she is painting the portrait. Now she does fall asleep downstairs, but she didn't crawl upstairs or anything like that.
[Lisa's Substitute]
Aw, Maggie lost her binkie while she was sleeping. But Homer made it all better.
[The War of the Simpsons]
Marge has been throwing guest's coats into her room, and Maggie was stuck in them and she ripped up a whole bunch of money.
Just like her siblings, Maggie is just as affected by Homer and Marge fighting in the car.
When Marge gives Abe the list of phone numbers it makes me wonder if Marge is being overprotective or if Maggie has been a crazy baby. I mean I've never seen the kid get sick, or her putting her finger in the electrical socket or have drunk pine cleanser. It's possible that she has all of these numbers because of things Bart and Lisa did when they were younger, but still.
Heh, Maggie got into the china and broke that? I bet that when she grows up she will be a total party animal. Especially if she becomes a famous singer.
We can question if Maggie can actually understand everything she does, but she does understand that her siblings worked hard to clean up the house. She may or may not understand why they did it, but she knows they worked hard. Otherwise she wouldn't have stepped on that spot when Marge and Homer came home.
[Three Men and a Comic Book]
Looks like Maggie got bored at the restaurant because she started smashing her fries to mush.
[Blood Feud]
Here we see Lisa with Flashcards teaching Maggie about animals and shapes and other things. And as it turns out Maggie is retaining a lot of that I formation; even if she did confuse Olmec with Aztec.
Alright, well, that's my time for now. Maggie is adorable and awesome, but I think we can all agree that there isn't much for her evaluations right now. The more I work with Maggie, the longer I'm sure her chapters will get. Ok, well, I hoped that you enjoyed reading this chapter.
I've talked about different shipping choices I could do, so I hope that you can forgive/appreciate how the following chapter isn't about a couple. I'm a romantic at heart, but I miss the black board and the quotes. Simple bullet point stuff. So my next chapter will be 'Cause and Effect'. Which will highlight the 'domino' or 'butterfly effect' a lot of these episodes tend to have. Hope you enjoy it.
