Totally down with Watson being a woman, especially one that looks like Lucy Liu, but she has to be a real gung-ho, capable Watson! Even the Granada lawks-a-mercy Watson could shoot straight, save lives and deliver a keen right hook when required. Anything less than that and I will be outraged on behalf of women as well as Watsons!
Have you ever read Mrs Holmes of Baker Street? I have not, because I've not been able to get my hands on a copy, but it posits an argument based on textual evidence that Holmes was a woman. Apparently, it's fab.
As are the Grimm stories; wolves, blood, sex with corpses – all the good things kids today miss out on!
