I think I was indoctrinated by my own subconscious...how does that even happen?
You know what? I'm actually looking forward to watching "Elementary" in the fall.
I will make an honest effort to like this show. Because:
* I actually like Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu, and I love shows that feature an intrepid, might be romantic, but it's really more co-dependent male/female duo, a 'la Scully and Mulder from the X-Files. And there were a few moments in the trailer when JLM and Lucy Lui looked sort of sweet together. Fingers crossed.
* This show is getting so much hate from the BBC Sherlock fandom and Moffat really isn't helping with his 'I just hope it doesn't damage the brand' and make his show look bad attitude. Ya know what Moffat, you just let the creators of Elementary do their thing and you work on how to make a decent female character that I don't want to punch in the face. SMUGLYSMIRKINGSEDUCTIVELY AND GRATUITOUS FANSERVICE DOES NOT EQUAL CHARACTERIZATION!!! JUST STOP IT!!
So yes, a part of me is going to watch this just out of petty spite. Judge me not.
* I had a dream that I was watching this show and even though I haven't watched one episode of it, I remember enjoying it in my dream and when I woke, I was actually looking forward to it. So some part of me really wants to watch this and who am I to argue with my subconscious?
Essentially, I'm just going to think of it as it's own show and not really hold it to any previous canon standard. Yeah, some of it looks awkward and a bit too "this is a srs crime drama, everyone angst" but whatever.
It's Sherlock Holmes. I am obligated to watch it, come hell or highwater.
