Anonymous asked: What's wrong with Lucy Liu? She isn't that horrid of an actress..Who would you have preferred?

It’s not that they cast her in particular. I have nothing against her as an actress. 

What bothers me is that this feels like an attempt to take the epic friendship of Holmes and Watson and turn it into a big happy het romance. I would have preferred that they left the leads male or, if they were hungry to set themselves apart, genderswapped both roles. 

This just feels wrong to me.
