Lucy Liu To Play Watson In CBS’ Modern Sherlock Holmes Pilot ‘Elementary’

fetchhappened:

The name is Watson, Joan Watson. Lucy Liu is set to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick in CBS’ drama pilot Elementary, whose tweaks to Arthur Connan Doyle’s classic include switching Watson’s gender to female. The project, written by Robert Doherty, is set in present day and stars Jonny Lee Miller as eccentric Brit Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction problems led him to a rehab center in New York City.

watch how no one denies that Holmes and Watson love each other now that one of them has lady parts

Darn Americans messing up perfectly good ships.
