Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[habilelapin]

...Thank you for that information. I'm off to beat some writers with a baseball bat now. Back in a minute.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[fenm]

Hee...

In fairness, my info comes from the Disney movie The Great Mouse Detective; I'm never read the Basil of Baker Street books.

Taking away Watson's medical license and military service is like taking away the whole character. It's an insult. It's like taking away Wonder Woman's powers and Amazon-badassitude.

OH WAIT they did that once and people fucking hated it.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[fenm]

Hee. I can imagine.. ~_~

The sixties were a hard time on everyone. Even comic books couldn't escape.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[anonymouslyyours]

Perhaps we should concur on your alibi first?

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[habilelapin]

"I couldn't of done it, officer. I'm a woman, and everyone knows women can't be angry people with awful life experiences that don't involve sexual abuse."

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[anonymouslyyours]

Ah, you've got it covered! How unfeminine of you!

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[habilelapin]

You know, I just realized that they might explain away her Watson-Is-Just-As-Crazy-As-Holmes-Has-Anyone-Else-Noticed-That?-ness by making her a survivor of sexual assault, instead of a war vet.

Because that hasn't become a tired, sexist trope, or anything.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[anonymouslyyours]

I thought that too but didn't want to jinx it!

/Is anyone else getting the vibe this is just another serious Psych knockoff e.g. (The Mentalist) and isn't really getting where the Holmes flavor comes in?

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[habilelapin]

No, I'm getting that vibe too!

And yeah, I think we should be prepared for it. I'll watch the premiere, hoping for the best, because I rather like Lucy Liu, but damn, if they say it, I will change the channel so fucking fast.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[anonymouslyyours]

Great! You can scout it out and report back and I won't have risk trauma or do squat!

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[habilelapin]

(Salutes) Will do. You'll hear me swearing from the state of Maryland. Trust me, it will carry.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[(Anonymous)]

But aren’t Psych and The Mentalist knockoffs of Sherlock Holmes themselves? Psych is more obvious about it and The Mentalist kind of round robin’s all of the CBI agents as Watson, at times, although usually it’s Lisbon as a combination of Watson and Lestrade. Honestly, the argument that it’s based on/influenced by/inspired by Sherlock Holmes could be made for any detective/cop/investigative show where one of the leads is very obviously smarter than most people. Person of Interest, White Collar, Numb3rs, Due South all have the underpinnings. Shows like The Dead Zone and Medium where the leads are actual psychics which means they literally see things others can’t. Hell, Eureka kind of does it in reverse, with the everyman, Watson-ish character in the lead, using his common sense and knowledge of people to spark the aha moments for all the Sherlocks in town.

Re: Sorry, but everything 'Watson' has been stripped

[anonymouslyyours]

Yes. Everything you said but none of those shows stuck to the names when they were clearly off on their own little tangent.
