TVLine says
Further proof that CBS’ in-the-works Sherlock Holmes reboot will take the iconic franchise in a radical new direction: The network has cast Lucy Liu as Watson!
TVLine has learned that Liu has been tapped to play Watson to Jonny Lee Miller‘s Sherlock in Elementary, the network’s modern-day take on the famed detective saga.
Okay....this is just ludicrous! I can't process this anymore than Johnny Lee Miller playing Sherlock...I'm sorry. I normally have a pretty open mind about things but it's just not Holmes and Watson.
