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?

“Not dead yet!”

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Huh. That view leads me to think that the Sherlock you saw is much, much older than the Sherlock I saw. The people you mention play older than even the Mycroft that I saw in this presentation.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, Cumberbatch is my age. Cool. I don't have to go through my usual "I'm so old" angst.

Though I'm not convinced this Sherlock is that age.

I read Sherlock as younger than actual Cumberbatch. Thus seeming much younger than even a Dune-age Sting (when he was a young-looking 33, in 1984).

Did anything happen on House after Cuddy found out the time of the positive test?

Yours cut off too? I probably got it at the beginning of Lie to Me, which I haven't watched yet.

Yeah, DVR swtched over to H50, I guess. And I wouldn't have wanted to miss that opening, so it's all good.

I'm liking Amber Tamblyn's doc better than 13 already.
