I just want to say that I absolutely love Mary. She is flawed, and I think that if she had a choice she wouldn't have shot Sherlock in the first place. In the previous episodes we see her pushing him and John together. She actually does like Sherlock and he likes her enough to share John.
I honestly don't care that she shot Sherlock, I'm not upset about it. I can't explain why. I just thought that part was particularly interesting. *shrugs* I'm pretty weird. So….yeah. I liked it.
You know what? I feel the same. I absolutely wanted to hate Mary before S3 started. I wanted to scream and shout at the tv and hate her with all my heart. But, from the moment she appeared, I didn't; I couldn't. I liked her. More than that. As episodes went on, I warmed to her. I liked her! So much so that HLV didn't change that. My heat went out to her and I didn't hate her even when I perhaps should have.
Whether that was right or not, maybe only season 4 will tell...
They make her so hard to hate, for me at least. She was just lovable form the beginning. And she did it because she didn't want to loose John. CAM was threatening her life with John and she just go tubber protective. I loved that. And I think Sherlock totally understood. And he's been through shit in the past two years. I think he understood why she shot him and that's why he forgave her so easily. I think fandom would hate her if she'd gotten in-between him and John but instead she pushed them together. There is nothing to hate about Mary. She did the thing that was the lesser of the two evils.
I agree....I liked Mary as shipper-on-deck, too, but I adore this version of her. I will savour every moment she is allowed to life and I really hope that the writers will take the time to explore the new dynamic.
She is also perfect for John. I understand why she lied. She wants a normal life but she can't have one under her real name, people will kill those close to her because of reasons. I think John understands that she's trying to protect him. I loved her from the beginning too. I'm glad they did it that way, so that when we did find out what she was we wouldn't hate her so much.
