CBS has cast Lucy Liu as Joan Watson to star in their new Sherlock Homes series (Elementary, I think). I do love genderswitch fics, and Lucy is a good actress, so that's going to be great! I do hope, though, that they don't pull a Castle (or SG1) and have an unresolved romantic plotline between Sherlock and Joan that runs for seasons. A good bromance between them would be great though! Like the BBC series, where they can be seen as together or not, with a running 'he's not my boyfriend' thing, so that shippers can ship, and everyone else sees bromance, and everyone is happy.

What worries me about Joan Watson is that she's not got a military background and she's incompetent enough to have her license to practice medicine taken away. I like military!Watson, I also like him being a doctor - a good doctor, so it's sad they've taken that away from her. I don't see why they couldn't keep it in. Grey's Anatomy has an ex-Army female talented surgeon, Teddy Altman. OK she doesn't have the trauma storyline about the war the way Owen Hunt does, but think, they could have gone down that route for Joan Watson - wouldn't that have been interesting?

Still, should the show ever reach the UK, I'll watch it.
