The one big disappointment I have with the special is that Mary is still there. I was hoping her villanry would be confirmed in the special–such as her being revealed as the ‘abominable bride’. After all, this is Sherlock’s mind palace and SHE”S the big threat in more ways than one. I sort of expected him to reach some horrible conclusion about her (such as her being Moriarty’s right hand man).

But that didn’t happen. Throughout she was portrayed simply as John’s wife (and a spy for Mycroft, but not in a bad way). Ugh. It’s like she never shot Sherlock. That wasn’t even in the special–what it’s not as important as John meeting Sherlock, the Hound, etc? To Sherlock himself? That doesn’t even make sense. If this is his mind palace, she should have had a much more ominous role.

I’m so ready for her to be gone. She’s already been WAY more in BBC Sherlock than in the ACD canon or probably any other Sherlock interpretation. Makes me fearful for S4.

I hope they’re not keeping her around merely to combat the ‘gayness’ of the show. See! John is straight! gag me.
