Yeah, sorta. I thought it was really cool for Harry to be a man, and replacing him with Rose was actually a step backwards. If you didn't know who Harry was, his story was pretty coded for a mother, but he was still totally believable as a guy and I think most fans were pretty fond of him. Rose was pretty cool (and had much better chemistry with Cybil) but that's the standard mom horror movie plot right there. Doesn't mean it's that bad to show moms that way or anything, but likable people who don't entirely fit their gender role are all too rare, and I think necessary.

I'm just kinda meh about lady Watson. I don't think Watson loses anything by being a woman, it's just that it's a really 'safe' choice, you know? And it seems like this Watson in particular might be getting pushed into some gender stereotypes, even though Lucy herself is really wonderful (am I the only one who thinks she would have made a great Sherlock?) I get why people might prefer this Watson just because that's what they're more interested in, but I don't think either version is necessarily the "most progressive thing we should all support" or anything.
