tequesta1989:

That really grinds my gears. I bet it’s gonna be all about the sexual tension.

At least the BBC version kept *fairly* true to the friendship of Holmes and Watson.

WHY YOU RUIN EVERYTHANG, CBS?! D:

american shows seem to always be about sexual tension and raunchy “humor”
i bet it’s not gonna be funny either. 

YEAH. LOOK AT MY OUTRAGE. WE SHOULDN’T HAVE FEMALE CHARACTERS IN PROMINENT ROLES BECAUSE THEY MIGHT HAVE SEXUAL TENSION WITH A MALE LEAD.

BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THERE CAN NEVER BE A POSITIVE EXAMPLE OF FEMALE SEXUALITY ON TV. SO WHY BOTHER? JUST GET RID OF ALL THE FEMALE CHARACTERS. WHO NEEDS ‘EM, EH?

Oh, and look, of course. “American TV is inferior to ~anything else~ because it’s all ~raunchy~ and ~unsophisticated~.” Bullshit argument, and a stupid objective opinion. There are witty, well written, quality TV shows, films, books, etc. that come out of the US. There are well written, witty quality TV shows that come out of the UK. Or Canada. Or Australia. Or non-English speaking countries. Just because you haven’t sought them out, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

For arguments sake, if you’re talking about the UK, there is just as much shit on their TVs as there is in the US, relatively.

Also, lol. I know this will probably taint what I’ve argued so far, because it’s arguing “BUT THE OTHERS ARE LIKE THAT” but it bears mentioning: Because  Moffat’s Sherlock or Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes are the epitome of feminist literature, right? Lolokay.

Also, why does it need to be funny? Straight up drama? I’d totally be up for that.

I agree with TARDISCrash

I have been in love with Lucy Liu for a million years and I am going to watch the fuck out of this.

She has freckles. Your arguments are invalid.

Just rebloging because you nicely articulated the stuff that was pissing me off about people complaining about this. Yes, it would be nice if they just made them gay if they wanted to work the romance angle. You know what else is nice? Non white ladies getting to be bad asses in lead rolls. You know what doesn’t make someone any less bad ass? Being in love, or getting marred, or having babies. You can still operate a shot gun after popping one out.

Can we not damn this thing before it even has a chance to fuck up, because this looks like a GOOD call to me not a bad one.
