Elementary Trailer

[neadods]

They should have released the Elementary trailer well before the show precis; while the precis was practically unrecognizable, the trailer shows good faith with the spirit of the canon & characters, if not the text. Watson, to my great relief, has teeth and an outside life; from the writeup, she sounded like she was being set up to be pushed around by both Sherlock and his unnamed father while being a damsel in distress for hosing up her previous career. There wouldn't be much of an upside in having a female Watson if she was just going to be set up for a hat trick of gender!fail: Woman must nurture! Woman must support man! Woman is pawn in man's game!

I should have had more faith in Lucy Liu and her usual career choices.

Also, I'm granting an awful lot of points for the Google comment.
