Possible sexism? Making Watson female is absolutely fine (love it personally), but then they also made her a failed/shamed surgeon instead of a respected, retired army doctor. Plus she got really squeamish about crime scenes in the trailer or something, idk. It's choices like that that've raised a few eyebrows.

Oh, I noticed that, too! WTF? Do tv writers understand some of the stuff doctors deal with? God...

Watson had some moments of shock in the canon in response to violence. We have next to no context for her reaction and her history as a failed/shamed surgeon is going to be an interesting plot point, imo.

[cyniconvention.livejournal.com]

I agree, although some have argued that Watson isn't used to seeing a brutally murdered body.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Another good thing about having her being a veteran--she probably WOULD have seen shit like that during her service. Watson's ability to deal with the stuff he and Holmes deal with comes at least as much from his time as a soldier as his being a doctor.

[spicandspan89.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I wonder what their rationale is for changing Watson's background. A female surgeon who's also an army vet is hardly an overused trope.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I just don't get it.

What bothered me most about the teaser thing I saw was the fact that they seemed to make Watson a woman for the pure and simple fact that she's supposed to be coming from an emotional place in order to help Holmes overcome his addiction. The apparent squeamishness cemented that for me, and I'm not happy about it.

I agree, I dislike the fact that emotional means a character is all touchy-feely and cries all the time etc. Emotional people can be pretty badass as well and I want her to be badass and emotional not just running around after poor Holmes who needs her love.

I mean yeah I've only seen the trailer so I'll wait to watch until the first few eps but it's worrying.
