Steven: “But also it’s a fun thing, isn’t it, because I think this whole sequence is being rather wonderful, but the truth is, structurally it allows you to get past the fact that Mary has shot Sherlock and been revealed to be a villain and now is gonna be forgiven, in a relatively short space of time! And you sort of buy it. Curiously, I think if we did that in a linear way, you’d think that not enough time has passed.” x

MARY HAS BEEN REVEALED TO BE A VILLAIN

YOU SORT OF BUY THAT SHE’S BEING FORGIVEN

THANKS STEVEN, BYE EVERYONE

Well, nothing in HLV allowed ME to get past it. I feel like the entire episode doesn’t hang together in that way, that Mary was forgiven. But I’m not sure what he’s talking about here. The transition to Christmas?

Fuck, I hope they get past this early in S4 and just resolve her as a villain. Because, frankly, nothing they do will sit right with me until they do.
