This story actually threw over all my previous beliefs. Mary CAN be portrayed as a strong woman. I didn't particular care for John here - he was hurting a lot of people (okay, hurting himself too). I didn't like the way he behaved towards Sherlock nor towards Mary. Unfair to both of them. He kind of was too busy pitying himself to notice the people around him.
Alright, I really like Mary here. She's a bit boring at the beginning but the firm stance she takes later shows that she has got backbone, that she is independent and strong.
