“There’s no real reason why she does it.”

Amanda Abbington during Sherlocked Con 2016 on Mary Watson shooting Sherlock, confirming for the 100th time that Mary didn’t need to shoot him, obviously. (via the-7-percent-solution)

What the hell does it mean? So Mary is a psycho who goes around shooting random people for no reasons at all?
Well, of course I know she’s a psycho, but still…

Exactly: there was no reason for Mary to have shot Sherlock rather than Magnussen. Shooting Sherlock did nothing to help her problem with Magnussen, whom she apparently proceeded to leave well alone for the next six months after that. She shot Sherlock because she wanted to. It’s pretty simple.
