This is me. Completely disgusted.

Okay, so we all know I don't generally go for the 'DEAR GAWD THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID' reaction when it comes to TV, and all the things.

But this? This just kind of pisses me off.



LUCY LIU TO PLAY WATSON IN CBS' SHERLOCK HOLMES DRAMA PILOT 'ELEMENTARY'

Yes. Lucy Liu is playing 'Joan Watson' in the new show. WHAT THE FUCK, CBS?

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF IT'S 'ORIGINAL' OR WHAT-THE-FUCK-EVER. Ohmygod it just pisses me off to no end, and I am so thoroughly disgusted right now. It just. It seems like a cop-out. Obviously they're going to push the romantic element between the two, and OBVIOUSLY WATSON HAS TO BE FEMALE FOR THAT. gawd dammit. I just. Reading that article put me into a completely foul mood.

Fucking CBS. Just.

Ugh.

ETA: FUCKING NUTBALLS MAN. ACD COULD WRITE STORIES ABOUT TWO MEN LIVING, AND WORKING, AND SHARING AN ENTIRE LIFE TOGETHER BACK WHEN BEING GAY WAS FUCKING ILLEGAL, YET AN AMERICAN TV NETWORK IN THIS DAY AND AGE HAS TO BE LIKE 'OH NO. WE COULD NEVER DO THAT!!!' No. The closest they can come to that is going 'LOOK. WE GIVE YOU A BROMANCE!' every now, and then before going however-long trying to shove all the heterosexual in our faces.

Christ.

Words can't describe the wrongness of that. Why must they do that!?!?

As soon as I found out that it was Lucy Liu I said OH HELL HERE WE GO WITH THE HETERONORMATIVE AGENDA AGAIN.

It's going to be some stupid ~unresolved sexual tension~ because that's ~so edgy~ and ~LOL~

I am disgusted as well because oh, there is a 80% chance that good ol' American television is going to feminist!fail vomit all over itself.

I KNOW RIGHT? Everyone over on ONTD is creaming their collective panties over this. I'm calling the season one finale "cliffhanger" now: an ambiguous shot that may or may not mean they're having sex. Season 2 premiere will be ~surprise!~ they had sex.

Ugh. Also. The fact that they're taking away the army-doctor background, and making the character a surgeon who lost their license just manages to piss me off even more.

..................Okay. I think I'm done ranting now. I'm gonna go give blood, and then watch the new ep of 5-0.
