I would feel COMPLETELY different about her character and this episode. They could easily have had Sherlock walk in on her shooting him but never see her face, and the rest of the episode he\u2019s trying to find the assassin before the police do in order to protect him\/her. Think what a fun episode THAT could have been. Maybe we see her face but Sherlock doesn\u2019t, so we get to see her struggle with revealing herself to him to get his help (but risking John) vs risking getting caught. Ugh, now I\u2019ve pissed myself off thinking of the episode we COULD HAVE HAD. *sigh*<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Oh my god<\/em>, I want that episode so badly grrrr {kicks a pillow across the room}.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anyone wanna write the fic?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>violethuntress: porcupine-girl: &lt;snip&gt; So in summary, here\u2019s what I get from our 3 characters:\u00a0 John takes lethal action in a legally justifiable way Sherlock takes lethal action in a way he justifies morally as revenge for someone \u201cevil\u201d who is shielded from the law Mary takes legal action against someone innocent in a way she &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/2014\/03\/21\/violethuntress\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[15,4],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221195"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221195"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221200,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221195\/revisions\/221200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
