If you look at the percentage of ethnicities and the percentage of women on television now, it’s such a different time. That’s how you keep things current. You update and you change them accordingly.
People probably thought the same thing about the president of the United States, how is it possible that you have someone who’s not Caucasian, in that vision. I think things are shifting quite a bit.
It’s nice to be able to portray an Asian-American on camera without having an accent, or without having to be spoofy. And I think that’s a big step forward, because there are still representations of people that are more comedic. And that’s not what I’m playing.
I’m just playing somebody who represents anyone else who would be living in America or outside of it, who is just a regular person.

I love all the Elementary haters who pull the “you’re ruining ACD canon by making Watson a woman!” like ok
In canon
- Moriarty’s first name was James. He had a brother named James. He also had another brother. Named James.
- Watson was called John and also James by his wife
- ACD pretty much forgot where he said Watson had been shot because he refers to the wound in three separate areas
ACD stone cold did not give a fuck.

I wonder if there would ever be a Arthur Conan Doyle episode in Doctor Who like the one they created for Vincent van Gogh.
Except when the Doctor takes Doyle to modern ages to see the Sherlock Holmes museum he cries for an entirely different reason.

The Most Beautiful Object on the 221B Set
If you follow me, you know how obsessed I am with the binoculars on Sherlock’s desk. I’ve managed to acquire 2 pair— both from Paris. It turns out that they were designed in 1897 by León Bloch who in 1912, with Edmund Bloch, invented “Le Sherlock Holmes,” a stealth camera disguised as a small briefcase!
León Bloch later sold the Mars binoculars by subscription as part of his Viallis package. The lenses of the pliable Mars binos were snapped in place on a box which was a stereoscopic camera, as well as a viewer for both stereoscopic glass slides, and paper cards.
A prestigious London firm, Leuchars & Son sold the French-manufactured Mars binos (called La Jumelle “Mars” in adverts) in the UK. Their storefront was located in Piccadilly until 1902.
I ADORE the crew of Sherlock!
This is amazeballs!

Sir, you are remarkable in all incarnations.
