The problem for me was that we'd already been lead to believe in episode one that Mycroft/Gatiss was Moriarty and so perhaps we were expecting something similar (and for me it would've been preferable than this wet-beind-the-ears actor we had instead).

I presumed the Moriarty we saw wasn't the actual Moriarty - just a puppet like the rest of the people he was using as puppets. And that the real one was the one at the end of the laser thing.
However, I am rubbish at these sorts of things and guess I have got it completely wrong. |

THIS is what a Moriarty/Sherlock confrontation should be like:

I liked Benedict as Holmes (even though my favourite "traditional" Holmes is Basil Rathbone) - I think he brought things up-to-date well

) and he's been acting for a while and won an Olivier award for his work in the theatre so I don't think the BIB is accurate.

BIB your obviously entitled to your opinion but you seriously thought it was that obvious
I must be very slow as I had absolutely no clue up until Jim sauntered in. As for the 'channeling Graham Norton' I have to say I thought it was more him channeling a complete psycho...Moriarty came across as being utterly mad and capable of doing anything at anytime...I thought it was a fab ep! |

I love the choice of Andrew Scott as Moriarty. He was great in the film Dead Bodies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syjgS9sp4E4 Well done to acetree for clocking Scott as Moriarty. |

Personally I enjoyed the portrayal but we've only seen a tiny glimpse of the character. I've really enjoyed sherlock. Really good fun, i suspect I will run out to buy it on DVD as soon as possible. |

It's just a shame it will be a while before we see any more.

No offence meant its just it was only 5 minutes of Moriarty and he could be very different/toned down when we see him next. I have to admit that he did make me think of Graham Norton when his voice went high pitched...albeit a completely psychotic Graham Norton!
![]() Also if you are a fan of the books you have a lot of information about Moriarty and he was nothing like that portrayal. Like I've said, I have more of a problem with the way he was portrayed rather than the way he was written. |

Andrew Scott is an amazing actor. Hopefully you will see just how good in the next series.

I'm very happy with Andrew Scott as Moriarty. He's a fine theatre actor just like Cumberbatch and has won an Olivier Award, something even Benedict hasnt achieved yet.

I think some of the geeky guys on here were hoping for a Dr Who guy to play the role of Moriarty (yawn). Thank god the overacting Tennant or the ghastly Barrowman arent anywhere near it.

Just because someone won an award doesn't mean they will be up to the job

I'm not usually one for going over the top, but I thought that was utterly perfect.
Moriarty was an excellent piece of casting, creepy incarnate. They needed to avoid the cliche 'arch-villain' and I think they got it spot on. A small part of me thinks it might be best left there. It's almost too perfect an ending to risk spoiling in another series. |
