I was going to just ignore CBS's new, unique, exciting, original, honestly-not-inspired-by-a-certain-BBC-programme-what-do-you-mean-we-cast-someone-who-doubles-roles-with-your-star updated and Americanised adaption of Sherlock Holmes. Then I heard that they were genderswapping Watson and had cast Lucy Liu, and I thought, actually, that could be really good; I'd have preferred girl!Sherlock if they were going that route, in order to avoid the 'wacky male genius grounded by a woman's common sense' angle, but it could still work very well and might be worth a look, and a female Army medic would be something new and different.
Then I heard that they were going to have her be a stuck off surgeon, and unless it turns out that the plot will involve her being wrongfully struck off, I must say that's not an iteration of Watson, who ought to be, despite all the possibilities for darkness and dubious attraction to risk, a fundamentally decent (and not, in fact, stupid) human being, that I'm particularly interested in seeing.
