What.
well that certainly got rid of the possibility of gay subtext quite nicely.
but seriously, gay subtext aside, i am NOT amused.
um…what? I mean…what?
UM, no. If they made BOTH the characters female, then that would be interesting. One male one female just makes it the same will-they-won’t-they romantic angst law-and-order procedural as every other damn show on TV for like, ever.
Heterosexuality is so last decade.
Heterosexuality works great for other shows. Bones, Law and Order, etc. But there are a million other tv shows like that. I agree if they made them both girls I would be interested, otherwise. Hell no
Look at this bullshit above me.
POC FEMALE CAST AS FORMER CIS WHITE DUDE
WORLD ENDS

i am way the fuck leery of a lady watson if sherlock is still a dude
don’t get me wrong
i love the shit out of lucy liu
and i hope to balls they WILL be giving the sherlock role to an actress
because that would be BOSS AS FUCK
but considering how much of watson involves being very impressed by the ~*~incredible logic and reason~*~ of sherlock?
within a lady/dude dynamic
that makes me throw up in my mouth
Oh they moved to New York City.
How original.
They could at least have made Sherlock a WOC too.
But then they might as well be making No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.
But of course I wouldn’t trust them to do that right, either.

Ugh, I would watch the fuck out of Lucy Liu, Private Eye. Especially if it was, like, a Moonlighting kind of show, but...
this is only tangentially related but it occurred to me that the other side of it—where the incredibly intelligent...
Lol! Its like they’re trying to see how far they can go to piss us off that it’s happening.
Um. Seriously. SERIOUSLY.
but but i want it though :( lady detectives detecting :(((
I’m torn between rolling around in laughter or tears
Reblogged just for this ^ comment.
I thought CBS was getting sued for this? And if they’re not, WHY THE FUCK NOT?!
WAIT WAIT UNLESS THEY’RE GONNA DO A GENDER-BENT SHERLOCK SERIES, THAT’D BE PRETTY COOL.
