Can we talk about how Elementary casted a trans*woman as a trans*woman
Can we talk about how they didn’t make her storyline about how she is trans* AND she was seen as something desirable
Can we talk about how she had OCD but it wasn’t something that was made fun of or a big deal at all, nor did it define her character
Can we talk about how in the scene where Watson was changing on camera, they didn’t make it sexual nor objectified her body whatsoever.
Can we talk about the huge amount of minorities in the Elementary cast, ALONG WITH A MAIN CHARACTER BEING A WOMAN OF COLOR
Can we talk about how changing Watson into a woman didn’t change the dynamic of Sherlock and Watson’s relationship whatsoever, thus showing that a man and a woman can be friends without any romantic entanglements whatsoever, and the writers intend to keep it that way
Can we just talk about HOW FUCKING PERFECT ELEMENTARY IS AND IF YOU DON’T WATCH IT JUST BECAUSE WATSON IS A WOMAN THAN YOU’RE MISSING OUT
I wrote a thing for 2012 – the year not the movie. This is a good summary of things I spazzed over that I wasn’t expecting to spaz over (so, for example, Avengers isn’t on there because I expected that to be good, but The Amazing Spider-man is on there because I expected nothing going in and was pleasantly surprised) ^^
Naoto Shirogane watches the hell out of Elementary. She watches it with Kanji Tatsumi, who makes dinner for the both of them so they can watch together. Kanji doesn’t really pay attention to the show, instead he watches her as she deduces things. In fact, she tries to deduce things faster than Sherlock Holmes does on the show, pointing out clues, and perhaps getting a slightly British accent as she does it.
Kanji thinks her deducing things is quite attractive, though honestly, Kanji thinks everything Naoto does is attractive. Quite.
