Elementary in Entertainment Weekly


(click image to read)

"The chemistry between Liu and Miller has sparked speculation about whether their characters will become more than just friends. But Doherty [the showrunner] insists it’s not going to happen—ever. ‘I feel like pretty much anytime you have two leads, one a man, one a woman, inevitably somebody out there wants them to get there. I absolutely get it. Doesn’t mean you have to do it,’ he says. Adds executive producer Carl Beverly, ‘It would be a little bit cliche to make Watson a woman and then immediately make their relationship a romantic one."

I enjoyed the pilot. It wasn't amazing, but it will most likely improve and I'm hft.

And to be honest, after watching, I kind of sorta almost want them to bang at least once or have some casual thing going on. I enjoyed their chemistry. But it would be cliche as hell.

they have ridiculous chemistry. I love them both but I wasn't expecting it, haha.
endingonfire 8th-Sep-2012 02:38 am (UTC)
I could be down for them boning. VERY down. Both are so beautiful and I'd like to see their o faces.

They'd be gorgeous together, but I don't want it to happen because I like non-romantic friendships between men and women. I also think it'd just fuel the anti-Elementary sentiment that's already out there from people who think that CBS just wants to get away from the 'icky' slash.

In love with this show!

Watched the pilot, liked it a lot, Lucy Liu is a queen, hope it has ten seasons and a movie just to make Steven Moffat cry, etc.
grapefruitzzz 8th-Sep-2012 12:20 am (UTC)
This wins all the Moffatbaiting awards and all the Lucy-Liu-containing awards and I haven't even seen it yet, so yay for Sickboy.
kanyewest 8th-Sep-2012 12:21 am (UTC)
i'm glad they're shooting down the possibility of a romantic connection <3
aflaminghalo 8th-Sep-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
Saw the pilot. It was pretty watchable and will probably get better. Really liked Miller and Liu together.

I'm kind of sad that it'll be going up against Scandal. I want both of these flawless leading ladies to have perfect ratings.
enid_keaner 8th-Sep-2012 12:31 am (UTC)
Wait.

It's up against Scandal? Damn it. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to DVR
roguewave3 8th-Sep-2012 12:50 am (UTC)
Oh shit, this sucks. I guess I will have to DVR this because Scandal is my crack and Kerry is the lead of Scandal due to this I have to support it.
shadyoutkast 8th-Sep-2012 12:55 am (UTC)
what? NO! i don't have a dvr!
treebraids 8th-Sep-2012 09:09 am (UTC)

Asian don't raisin.

I watched the pilot, and upon thinking about it, I don't think that I'll bother watching the show unless I'm really bored. I'm not a big fan of procedurals, and I don't like the main actors so there's not really much for me. I am kinda interested in whether or not they'll stick to what they say though.
nebulous_mirage 8th-Sep-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
omg i was just reading this article at the train station, wish they gave us more details
briknowsbest 8th-Sep-2012 12:26 am (UTC)
LOVE IT.
wauwy 8th-Sep-2012 11:15 am (UTC)
They won me over by having her be a Mets fan, gotta be honest
briknowsbest 8th-Sep-2012 02:33 pm (UTC)
YES YES YES.
I like squealed irl.
brosling 8th-Sep-2012 12:26 am (UTC)
i liked it enough to continue watching but omg plsss don't let them be involved romantically

i want them to have a cool partnership like emily / nolan on revenge (nhf those of u who ship them)
misoras 8th-Sep-2012 12:42 am (UTC)

blueskin 8th-Sep-2012 12:27 am (UTC)
seems like a mismatched pair
enid_keaner 8th-Sep-2012 12:32 am (UTC)
They played off each other well
angelmonster 8th-Sep-2012 12:41 am (UTC)
They did well together, especially the end of the pilot it was at.
evilgmbethy 8th-Sep-2012 09:12 am (UTC)
they were great together in the pilot, and they're adorable together in interviews imo
la_petite_singe 8th-Sep-2012 12:27 am (UTC)
‘It would be a little bit cliche to make Watson a woman and then immediately make their relationship a romantic one."

I will be impressed if they really and truly don't go there with them. Not because Het Is Ew or they have to protect the ~sacred gay subtext or whatever, just because it's obvious and kinda lazy and I'd like to see them rely on their chemistry without making it romantic/sexual. Haven't seen it yet, but I'll watch it at work next week. :)
wickedwatch 8th-Sep-2012 01:39 am (UTC)
I found it worked. They had tons of chemistry, but it didn't necessarily come off as romantic personally.
effervescent 8th-Sep-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
I actually think that a lot of chemistry can fizzle on the screen when you put two characters together... (Bones comes to mind.) Hopefully they stick to what they've said.

I COMMAND YOU TO GET IT ALL, THE RATINGS AND THE AWARDS
