Everyone's Goal Is To Get Big-Headed.

So apparently fandom is being shitty over Lucy Liu being cast as Watson. Must be a Wednesday

Between this and the bullshit from Hawaii Five-O fandom, I'm really getting burnt out. :P

OMG YOUR ICON: LIU AS SHERLOCK AND DONNA AS WATSON WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUCKING PERFECT.

I was done with Hawaii 5-0 fandom a long time ago, but it's seriously pissing me off that people are bitching about a female Watson BEFORE THE SHOW HAS EVEN STARTED. Stay classy, fandom.

Ffffff, Donna as Watson is BRILLIANT. Maybe someone will write it since we're never going to get that on TV.

... oh my god, now that I have heard this suggestion, I am ruined for all other things in life. That would be SO AMAZING.

Every show that isn't about teeny animals being cute is not a show I want to watch! I'm honestly too exhausted to get invested in new shows. I just want to watch the shows I already love and just enjoy that.

1) I am jazzed by Lucy Liu, because I ♥ her and I am jazzed by everything she does

2) Jonny Lee Miller = seriously? JFC. That makes me grumpy on par with my grumpiness that the Doctor is always reincarnated as a male. I am no not excited about this show, despite the presence of LL.

3) that is the best rat ever. And I say this as a very biased girl who loves her rats.

Lucy Liu is AMAZING and will be the only reason I tune into this show, but Miller as Sherlock is really dampening any enthusiasm or intrigue I have so far. Also, seriously, can we not have a non-white Sherlock? If he has to be a guy, fine, but can he please be a non-white guy? I would've been happy with that too.

Rats are absolutely adorable, and that picture just made my heart explode with love. :D

hear hear.
all those continuous uproars of how everything on American telly is sexist or racist and the A FUCKING UPHEAVAL BECAUSE WATSON IS AN ASIAN WOMAN.
Hypocrisy fandom? OH YOU HAVE HEAPS OF IT.
and I agree, I'd much rather have Lucy Liu cast as Sherlock, cause frankly she would have been awesome.

[robanybody]

Well, clearly the show is only making Watson an woman so that she can finally have that hot, steamy affair with Sherlock, thereby taking away all the subtext and homosexuality. Women don't exist on TV for any other reason than to be the romantic foil for the male protagonist, as I've learned from fandom.

[poziomeczka]

And how fucking sad that is. *hugs*

[ghostrunner7]

Personally, I wish Liu was cast as Sherlock.

That, and that exactly, was the sum total of my reaction to the casting news.

[robanybody]

I guess it would've been too crazy if an ass-kicking Asian woman was cast as Sherlock, huh?
