I used the term revisionism intentionally, rather than retcon.  It's true there's no direct contradiction, because Mary had never previously said "Well I didn't want to be a journalist but here I am".    But there's no indication in the earlier seasons that Mary had wanted a career in journalism prior to that first interview; the revisionism is shifting Mary to someone who sought out her career path than than kind of stumbling into it.Mel hasn't gotten to the overt retcon episode yet, but there's direct contradiction still to come.</blockquote>
