Jonny Lee Miller acting like Robert Downey Junior acting as Sherlock Holmes, we're watching the pilot episode of Elementary on CBS; having already read most every Sherlock story to date, let the complaints begin...
- Tiny Lucy Liu uncomfortably jogging #ouch #knees #cringe the series begins with fraudulent athleticism; take note of the *being something you're not* omen.
- We're supposed to believe this gentleman is a junkie from *junkie jail* due to alcohol abuse? For children much?
- Lucy Liu's phone rang, deep within a 42nd Street subway station, none of the cast or crew lives in New York? #unnecessary
- Trying not to hate the main character, because he's supposed to be this annoying, Watson on the other hand #ugh
- For the love of monologues, if a woman's name is Paula James, do you call her James or Paul? #stupid
- If the mailman saw the body through the window, why did we walk through a room AND hallway to see it on camera?
- While Dr. Gregory House would've appreciated that puzzle, please #cancel this show nonetheless, thank you.
There may be hope for this franchise elsewhere, all indications point towards a superior BBC product...

I have NOT given Sherlock a chance (Like I was originally gonna do) due to ignorance such as this. The Pilot.....Seems like you were watching just to be critical from the beginning. Like the show didn't have a chance. Get over a female Watson. She is good. Its a different take. A Modern Day take. This is obvious sexism. Yet no one complains. Its 2013. Its ok to have females replacing males in roles. The more the naysayers complain. The happier Ill be NOT to give Sherlock a chance. And keep watching Elementary happily.
