[visp]

Huh, this'll be the first Holmes/Watson that I didn't ship.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah you and every other 'shipper out there.

Shame, really. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty tiny fanbase for this ship.

[visp]

Oh I'll probably watch it - I don't see shipping as the only reason for a show. In fact, I like seeing a well-developed platonic relationship more than I enjoy the shippy stuff - if only because TV seems to have a more difficult time pulling those off well.

[fenm]

Actually, the person you replied to said there'd be a tiny fandom for the ship. not the show in general.

[visp]

Never underestimate the power of the hetshippers. Just because some of the slash ships have noisier and crazier fans doesn't mean that there won't be huge factions that want this Holmes and Watson to hook up. Me, I'm mainly not shipping it because there are so few good male/female platonic pairings on TV that I'm gonna want that way more than another "two leads heterosexually hook up when the writers run out of ideas" plot point.

But, of course, that could all change once I start watching it. Hell, I started shipping Liz/Jack on 30 Rock, and if ever there was a beautiful hetero bromance, that's it right there.

[fenm]

I agree there aren't many platonic m/f relationship, so, yeah I can see that.

Have you not seen the pilot? Cuz, yeah, I didn't ship it until the pilot. In fairness, the episode itself didn't do anything shippy (well, there's a bit when they first meet, but he's just messing with her), I just think they have really good chemistry. Yes, already. (-:

[visp]

Saw parts of the pilot. Didn't feel that there was much reason to ship them. Then again, as I've said, I'm coming at this with a considerable bias, so it'll take a lot to change my mind.

[fenm]

Yeah you and every other 'shipper out there.

Nope! I ship every version of Holmes and Watson I've seen, and by the end of the pilot, I was totally shipping Joan and Sherlock, as well.

[brooms]

i didn't care for the pilot/don't care for lucy liu in general, but ia it's a shame.

originally platonic male/female duos tend to make for meaty ships because show writers have to develop them outside cliched romantic boundaries.

[(Anonymous)]

The first popular incarnation of the pair where one of them isn't a male.
How coincidental.

[visp]

I don't discriminate between slash and het, in fact I probably ship more het than slash - and to be fair, I haven't seen the Cumberbatch one. However, most of the ones I have seen (and that includes Great Mouse Detective) just seem to have great chemistry and slashy undertones between those two.

Go figure.

New anon

[(Anonymous)]

Asshole. You don't know them and they don't owe you an explanation for their ships. Besides, a big part of the reason that people ship slash ships is because there are so few canon same-sex pairings in (at least Western) works. So go to a corner and cry if you don't like it.

Re: New anon

[iggy]

If you honestly don't think there's misogyny behind at least a portion of slash shipping, you are wrong.

(and yes I slash)

Re: New anon

[visp]

True, but I think that a lot of the desire for this Holmes/Watson to remain platonic is the desire to see more good male/female platonic interaction, and not wanting her out of the way to make room for an unknown male character.

Re: New anon

[(Anonymous)]

OP. And yes I want to see more platonic male/female pairings. And assuming that just because someone ships slash pairings means they don't ship het is silly. My biggest ships are Vegeta/Bulma (old school baby), Buffy/Spike, Dean/Cas, and John/Sherlock.

And I don't ship every two hot guys I see together. RDJSherlock/JLWatson do nothing for me.

Re: New anon

[visp]

Go figure.

Re: New anon

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, their chemistry is amazing in the pilot but I refuse to ship it simply because there's so damned few male/female platonic friendship in mainstream media. That doesn't automatically make me a misogynist.

[(Anonymous)]

"THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS", DAMMIT.

It's fucking canon. And now as a general request to the universe/powers that be: I would like a dvd release with the grocery store scene restored, please. We SAW it when it first aired. It's in the teleplay (and the stage play? IDK, I've never seen that script for sale, I don't know if it was ever published?). People remember this scene. Where did it go?!

[visp]

Heh, I didn't know about that one.
