They were very pretty. Until I wiped my tivo, I kept them on season pass because of the pretty. But exactly. If all that pretty had been Mr. & Mrs. Smith`d, I would have been there every week. But there came a time when I just had to say, "It`s not me, it`s you."

Yeah Nick and Nora has to be done brilliantly or it is no good. William Powell and Myrna Loy were perfect for it. Zoe & Wash were Nick & Nora done right for the 21st century. They have to be brilliantly executed. Not a trope that goes with "so bad it's good" or "I don't care if its bad: pretty and shiny".

Bwah!
I can't believe that was it for Sherlock.
Too short.
Sherlock for me in around ten minutes. When this ends, total hours will have been the equivalent of a fractional bit more than six American episodes of 43 minutes each. Still less than half an American season.
Getting ready for Sherlock, right... now.
OK, I do not like this Moriarty. He's too insane. Canon!Moriarty is a mathematics professor as well as a ruthless criminal. And this guy's voice switching all over the place is highly annoying.
I agree, this Moriarity is annoying. But to choose to be a criminal mastermind, in this day and age when you can do essentially the same thing legally as a corporate executive or get into politics requires an extreme degree of eccentricity.
BTW, what is everyone's guess. When this episode was filmed, did the writers know how Sherlock gets out of this one? Or did they/ will they decide while writing next season's opener?
Moriarty didn't bug me, but neither did he impress me. Part of it was that he was too much visibly younger than Sherlock, even though they were clearly trying to play him as a contemporary.
Few things occurred to me in terms of a perfect Moriarty for this contemporary interpretation:
1) Sting- I think he could be cooly delicious as Moriarty
2) Alan Rickman
Or if you want to totally turn convention on its ear, cast a woman as Moriarty, which would drive this current Sherlock completely batty, I think. And in that vein, how about, Kristen Scott Thomas or Dame Helen?
I dunno... Lewis also seems to think that Moriarty isn't really Moriarty, but just another pawn.
