seriousficI will say this for Elementary. It's living up to its forebears in fandom. The show HASN'T EVEN COME OUT YET and already Lucy Liu is causing more wanking than that time she kissed Calista Flockhart. On this very f-list, I've seen support, disapproval, and someone saying that fem!Watson should be played by a white woman. No, they gave examples of preferred casting that just happened to be white women, but still, chaos. This whole project is what the Joker would do if he wanted to reduce fandom to anarchy. "An Americanized Sherlock! Sherlock is played by one of Benedict Cumberbatch's recent co-stars! Watson is an Asian woman! Watson is now a disgraced surgeon! Wanna know how I got these scars?"
It's almost enough to make you forget that it's CBS and thus the end result will be so beige that five minutes into the pilot we'll forget why we were so offended in the first place. Not because it's good, but because it'll be so forgettable.
On the bright side, this paves the way for my book where Sherlock is a French woman and Watson is a female New York homicide detective. It'll be like Rizzoli & Isles, but on purpose. You know what I'm talking about.
