Thanks for this blog. <br /><br />I'm excited for Lucy Liu to be Watson. I'll post a link on my Facebook page, Pro-Liu: Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson (http://www.facebook.com/ProLiuLucyLiuAsDrWatson).<br /><br />Enjoyed your critique of the "Blind Banker" episode also. One correction: the George C. Scott movie is *They Might be Giants.* Thanks again.Hunting Violets (Resa Haile)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03844308194471133943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-60087684519812557562012-03-22T03:15:27.724+00:002012-03-22T03:15:27.724+00:00As usual, excellent critique of the often overwrou...As usual, excellent critique of the often overwrought and melodramatic adaptation of a classic character!<br /><br />BBC Sherlock is more of (visual) style than substance..<br /><br />Thanks for being the voice of reason :)Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498276962097853996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-44686029458548957982012-03-09T00:42:20.874+00:002012-03-09T00:42:20.874+00:00Yes, but have you seen this?

I'm less worried about that silliness because the whole thing is a bit of a pantomime but done very well. Depends on context — I'll suspend judgement until I've seen it (always a good policy). <br /><br />Like I wrote, if the Moffat Blind Banker had ingeniously reversed the racism (which is what I was expecting) I would have been applauding. It just goes to show how embedded this crap is.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-4014238273102215152012-03-04T21:53:07.346+00:002012-03-04T21:53:07.346+00:00I didn't understand whether the producers had ...I didn't understand whether the producers had threatened in a joking way or an actual imma-gonna-sue-your-sorry-arse way in most articles I read.<br /><br />Surprisingly, I didn't find many comments when the news FIRST broke about Lucy Liu being cast to be directed at her role.
