As I’m sure most Sherlock Holmes fans are aware, Lucy Liu has been cast to play Dr Joan Watson in the upcoming CBS adaptation Elementary. This is very exciting news for us at Bustles and Bullets, since not only is John Watson being genderbent, but also racebent. We do have some worries about the portrayal, but only the sense of how women and minorities are treated in...

Officially retiring from even thinking or reading about Elementary until there is a pilot because there are too many stupid things going on to bother trying to keep them straight.

“She was cast just to fill a WOC quota!”
“Female Watson will be like this because of this!”
“Watson is a male! Male! Not a female! This is...

Dear god, this whole ordeal has given me a headache. It just makes me so angry. I’m wondering if I should go ahead and PM the founder of the group and respectfully request that the journal post gets removed and/or the contributor gets demoted. I’m that much of a vengeful jerk.
In other news, I’m so fucking excited for tomorrow morning. I decided I’m going to go to...

I wonder if this means the group won’t publish my Sherlock/Harry Potter picture because the admin thinks it’s ~their blog~ and their bias obviously shows.
LOL, WHOOPS. THE PERSON WHO WROTE THAT JOURNAL ISN’T EVEN THE FUCKING FOUNDER OF THE GROUP. NOR A CO-FOUNDER. WHAT AN ENTITLED BRAT.

… Wishing you well in this endeavor. :\
This is what I said. Yeah, there are some grammatical errors, but whatever:
First off, Sherlock Holmes IS a character most of /the world/ is familiar with. Holmes isn’t solely isolated to the UK, like Doctor Who is, Holmes has been part of the American...
I see your point completely but i do have to disagree on some things. First off Sherlock Holmes is not a character most Americans are familiar with (excluding the new movies)and House is most definitely not a true Holmes character. He may be loosely based on him in some ways but he is a totally different person who too most people would be the first to compare to Sherlock Holmes. Also,...

I tend to never read journal posts on the DevArt groups I belong to, so thanks for alerting me to this. Just left them a long-ass comment. I can’t understand why they would post that, just… FLAMES. FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE.
I left one as well and OF COURSE the admin who wrote it ignored my comment and...

On a slightly sadder note, news of who will be cast as John Watson in the new Sherlock Holmes series called ‘Elementary’, has been announced. I dont think i have the strength for this… As we all know by now, CBS has decided to create their own version of a ‘modern’ Sherlock. And if that wasnt bad enough, Lucy Liu, a former charlie’s angel, has been cast...

I know a lot of my followers are into Sherlock. And that’s cool, but I want you to take a good look at this picture and ask yourself what’s missing from your version that clearly makes this movie superior.
I rest my case.
This movie is the most beautiful thing and I love it, 100% serious.
Especially in the...

– Former Army Sergeant Kayla Williams dropped a lot of wisdom in an NPR interview earlier this week. You should go read/listen to what she had to say. (via thepoliticalnotebook)

Have to go back through my dash from yesterday…
It’s riddled with reactions about Lucy Liu being cast as Joan Watson in Elementary - and posts full of sexism and racism because of it.
I feel like crying because of all the bullshit I’m seeing… I must be really close to shark week. *sigh*

guys. cbs made a holmes movie already with a genderswapped watson, which i believe i pointed out ages ago. i know people are already raging about the *heterosexual* implications, but look up their last movie: ‘The film ends with the prospect of Jane establishing a relationship with Tobias, and Holmes coming close to Violet Morstan.’
we don’t know anything about the show. it is...

Sometimes I think having antidepressants is a bad thing.
Mostly because I want to chug the entire bottle of pills in order to feel better.
Not necessarily a suicidal thing (sometimes), but as an idea for helping?

Anonymous asked: Are you seriously arguing that someone saying Chris Brown shouldn't have been invited is racism? People have been and are banned from the Oscars for their actions. None of those people you listed beat a woman so hard that she was unrecognizable and had to get rushed to the hospital. This isn't racism. This is "Chris Brown beat the hell out of a woman and no one cared"
