Which Sherlock character are you?

I got Molly Hooper. Molly Hooper! I find this result unsatisfactory. It’s because I said I’d save my pets first in a fire, isn’t it?

Lucy Liu To Play Watson In CBS’ Modern Sherlock Holmes Pilot ‘Elementary’

The name is Watson, Joan Watson. Lucy Liu is set to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick in CBS’ drama pilotElementary, 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 Sherlock Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction problems led him to a rehab center in New York City. Just out of rehab, Holmes now lives in Brooklyn with “sober companion” Joan Watson (Liu), a former surgeon who lost her license after a patient died, while consulting for the NYPD. Michael Cuesta is directing the pilot, produced by CBS TV Studios and Timberman/Beverly. Ally McBeal alumna Liu, who had 2 pilots vying for her, is recurring on the current season of the TNT cop drama Southland and will next be seen in the feature Man With The Iron Fists.

This is certainly an original idea.  

I’m hoping she plays it ice-cold like in Kill Bill.

Hmmm. I think this would’ve been more interesting if Holmes had been made a woman. Or if both of them were women. Why does the woman (and person of color) have to be the sidekick? Hmph. Also, I’m afraid it’s going to devolve into boring het sexual “tension.” Blah.
