#Dr. Joan Watson

Another from the list of polls I've been wanting to start, this time about your favorite "Watson" or sidekick character in a detective or mystery related piece of media! They can be an adaptation of John Watson or an entirely different character who fills that role, so long as they have a Sherlock-type partner they work with to complete that dynamic.

I can't possibly cover every Watson type character, especially since Tumblr polls only give me 12 options, so I've filled out some on the top of my mind or ones that are more famous, and then there's the "Other" option to support any favorites not on the list.

There's several John Watson adaptations where he's pretty close to the book canon, so I haven't listed all separately here, mostly just ones where there's a more distinct change (modernization, etc.) or he has more focus.

So without further ado:

Please reblog for a larger sample size :)

Best Sherlock Vibe

Now I didn't get the same amount of engagement in my last post as I did my first, but I did get interesting results with Psych winning and Elementary a close second. It's almost like once you remove the ship, people remember the other characters?

Now I was going to ask who the best modern Sherlock was. Then I decided on something else.

Let's do this!

By "roles" I mean playing a different character; someone playing one character across a franchise only counts as one thing for the purposes of this poll

Below are some of this actor's roles. Please only check after voting!

Ally McBeal as Ling Woo (2 Emmy nominations)

Kill Bill Vol 1 as O-Ren Ishii

Charlie's Angels films as Alex Munday

[fastidious-and-a-mess]

every so often i will just be throwing in a post or two about cbs’s elementary. please go watch it oh my god it’s so good. the modern day sherlock adaptation we deserved. dr. joan watson played by lucy liu what more could you want. they made her a woman and then didn’t make her and sherlock’s relationship overtly romantic, just deeply and thoroughly filled with love and mutual understanding. sherlock is kind of an ass sometimes but it’s just because he’s blunt and autistic, he’s also one of the kindest and most caring characters in the whole show like. they have a pet tortoise together and mrs hudson (WHO IS TRANS!!!) knits him little dinosaur outfits!!!!!!! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT.

Best Sherlock/Watson Meet-cute

As expected Lucy!Watson slayed like the queen she is. There's also something warming seeing that both of the Watsons of color doing well when both of the actors faced a fair share of racism from their fandoms.

Since we all like our ships around here, I figured I'd poll which Meet-cute is the best favorite. None of our Sherlock-Watson duos had the same introduction, so I thought this would be fun.

Let's do this!
