Yup. I think some of the complaints about Maggie may stem from a) greater expectations for her performance over Katie's, and b) the character as written. Face it: she doesn't have much to do. However, Maggie displays an actual WEIGHT to the role wholly absent in Katie's. In BB, Rachel seems like a petulant teenager, while here she's a force with which to be reckoned. I can buy MG's Rachel as a prosecutor; I never remotely accepted KH in that way.
Yes, KH is prettier, but MG isn't dog meat. For those who think it's irrational that Bruce and Harvey fall in love with a woman who's not a "10", ever think maybe - just maybe - her intelligence sways them?
