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.
I thought you all might find this outrageous, so I am pointing it out to you, that you might express your outrage properly, vocally, and in the appropriate direction.
It would seem that CBS is cocking things up even worse than we had imagined.
Edit: Just to be clear, this is not a jab at women, Asian-American actors, or Lucy Liu (all of which I am in support of), it is a jab at CBS’s seemingly careless and irritatingly predictable bastardization of Doyle canon and characters and apparent need to wedge boobs into every possible situation.

In the 19th Century having a photograph taken was a lengthy process. Frustrated by the difficulties of getting children to sit still long enough to snap a proper photo , photographers in the 1800’s conceived of a technique called “The Hidden Mother”. Draping a sheet over the mothers head in an attempt to camouflage her as a part of the furniture to better emphasize the child, the mother was then able to hold her infant and keep them still long enough for the camera to get an exposure. Vintage photographs already have a eerie feel to them, but these images of moms as cloaked phantoms take the creep factor to the next level.
