American modern Sherlock Holmes spinoff "Elementary" (already controversial for being very similar to Sherlock) announced casting and have swapped John Watson for Joan Watson, played by Lucy Lui-- thoughts?~
Wow, intially I thought you were joking pony_magician, and my first reaction was this
and then, came the horrible realisation that you were speaking the truth... so my reaction changed to this D:
Okay then, thoughts on the issue at hand....
If they're doing this for the will they/ won't they tension between 'Joan' and Sherlock, then I am afraid I shall lose interest very quickly. Whilst the idea doesn't sound like an overall appealing one, I am willing to give it a shot
)(but this willingness is merely based on the premise that the presence of a female will put an odd twist on the original 'dynamic duo's' chemistry. However, Lucy Lui's character had better be dynamic, and the writing had better be bloody brilliant if it wants to hold my attention for at least more than an episode
)
I'm still contemplating over whether or not I will actually
try to be interested in it :/ It is an unorthodox idea, and well... I'm not sure if my fragile mind can handle it
