"Lucy Liu has spoken about her new role in Elementary. Liu portrays Joan Watson, the sober companion of Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) in the contemporary telling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle&amp;#039;s famous stories.   Liu compared her character to Holmes in that they are both &amp;quot;quite damaged&amp;quot; souls with a &amp;quot;fragile history&amp;quot;. She told the Wall Street Journal: &amp;quot;Joan Watson is somebody who, like Sherlock, is also quite damaged and has a little bit of a fragile history. We&amp;#039;re starting to piece her together... she&amp;#039;s her own puzzle. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s not maybe as eccentric as Sherlock is... in the pilot, she has something mysterious about her that&amp;#039;s going to reveal itself slowly as the episodes go on.&amp;quot;  Liu also revealed that there&amp;#039;s a harmonious relationship between Holmes and Watson. &amp;quot;They both listen to each other and they learn from each other. And I think that&amp;#039;s important, otherwise it becomes too one-sided,&amp;quot; she said. Elementary recently cast Anika Noni Rose and David Harbour in guest starring roles. The CBS drama will debut on Thursday, September 27 at 10pm ET. Watch an Elementary preview below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
