Okay, Elementary, a CBS tv show based on the Sherlock Holmes books... And it may have some similarities to the Sherlock BBC version... Oh, boy...



Well, to be completely honest, I´m excited for this show-NOW HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YOU KILL ME!

For what I read, Sherlock is still british but will move to New York for a rehab, because of his drug addiction, and there he will meet Joan Watson (yes, John is a woman) and she will be his "sober companion".



Now before you go all "THEY ARE RIPPING OF SHERLOCK!!1!!1!!", they might not... In the BBC version Sherlock had already got over his drug addiction, in this one he´s not, he went to rehab and still has a "sober companion", wich is a very interesting way to Sherlock and Joan meet. Not to mention his drug addiction may make it difficult for him to solve cases and thus needing Joan support to get clean. It will be interesting seeing their relationshiop envolve around that.

And now, female John Watson. Personally, I don´t hate it! I always wanted to see a female version of John, and even though Lucy Liu is asian, she is a great actress and I have my faith on her. Maybe they´ll make her a lesbian or maybe she´s a love interest for Sherlock, either way I´m fine with it. (Yes, I know I´m a Sherlock/John slut)



*Rant begins

But not everything is a sea of roses. Even though I love Lucy Liu, and I´m sure she´ll do just fine, they are taking John Watson´s military past, she isn´t a veteran, she´s a surgeon who lost her license... REALLY?! Why can´t se be a veteran?! What´s so wrong with a woman who was in the war!!?? Not only that but she´s aparently a surgeon who can´t do her job?? She lost her license for a reason, we know she lost a patient but we don´t know what the circumstances were and what she did... It´s very vague... We don´t know if she really messed up or if it was hospital bureacracy red tape crap!! But it still annoys me, they should have let the veteran past be and not messed it up... And does she even know how to use a gun? In the Sherlock BBC version John knew how to defend himself, does Joan Watson know too? Or will she be a woman needing Sherlock to rescue her every single time?... I hope CBS doesn´t mess this up.

*Rant over

But moving on...

I have been reading some reviews of Elementary´s pilot, so far they´ve been good. Some have said that it was CBS strongest´s pilots, others said it was good but it wasn´t really Sherlock anymore... They say Sherlock is still arrogant and self-satisfied and even though there are some similiarities it isn´t really a rip-off.

And aparently Sherlock is not assexual but... sexual. A playboy Sherlock?... Hmmm... It might be interesting, I want to see what they do with this character and how does he interact with Joan. I would also love to see how they will do Irene, she is The Woman after all, maybe she´ll be just like Sherlock with a femme fatale style. And I just can´t wait to see how Irene will intreact with Joan, since they are both woman maybe there would be some rivaly going on between them.

I also want to see how they´ll play James Moriarty, will they do a more similiar version of the BBC version or more like the books, or maybe a MIX! Sassy Professor Jimmy Moriarty! Oh god, I can´t wait to see it.

So, these are my thoughts. And to all the fans who hate the idea and hope it is cancelled... The pilot isn´t even out yet, when the pilot comes out and you see it and still hate it then, YES, you can rant all you want and hope it gets cancelled. But it´s not even out yet, don´t make a opinion on something that you haven´t seen yet. I´m a fan of the BBC version myself and I still have my doubts on this, maybe it will suck or maybe it will be awesome, we DON´T KNOW, so just wait and see. CBS has great shows, maybe Elementary will be one of them.
