While browsing for information on Season III (I've been soooo lazy and actually forgot to check for some time) I stumbled across another article about Amanda's role.
So, second episode confirmed to be The Sign of Three.
Makes me really anxious.
Please, Amanda, be Harry. Harriet. John's wonderful sister which .... I don't care, comes between John and Sherlock because she saw how hard Sherlock's death hit her brother. Now she's mad at Sherlock or... I don't care. Be Harry. Or Clara. Clara's fine, too.
Nothing against het couples, and even as a slasher I know that Johnlock will never be more than headcanon. Yet I am completely against Amanda being Mary. It just... messes up everything. Not only the entire bromance in there, but also it would make the scripts sooo predictable. One thing I valued about Sherlock was that everything is unpredictable (well, fan-service excluded, 'I am Sherlocked'). Why can't Mary/Amanda be Harry's wife? That would be interesting.
Because... come on. Is there anything more predictable than choosing John's (Martin's) girlfriend for the role of his lover?
If Amanda is Mary, and Mary is in a relationship with John, I will be severely disappointed.
Whining/Ranting End.
