Trying to be rational and telling myself that all these feelings that I’m feeling, which is driving me nuts and tearing me up from the inside, is nothing more than a chemical reaction in my brain.
It can be explained by science goddammit!!!
“I imagine John Watson thinks love’s a mystery to me but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive…
I’ve always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof.”
*That one time when Sherlock is relevant to my life!
“Huh, did I really make such a fleeting impression? Well then I suppose that was rather the point.”
I admit that I hated Andrew Scott’s Moriarty when I first watched this episode but the one thing that really resonated with me was the way he said, “Jim?! Jim from the hospital?!” Chilling.
Ok so I finally finished watching The Great Game. It was good but somehow lacked the punch of A Study In Pink. I loved that they revealed Moriarty at the end but I guess that I’m one of the few who has some beef with this version of Moriarty. I can put aside the camp-ness and the manic bursts but the accent and occasional highpitched whiny-ness really bothered me.
I Youtubed some interviews with Andrew Scott and from what I can tell, it is the actor’s actual accent. Irish is it? Because it sounded all over the place! I truly thought that he was actually trying to pull off some weird American/British cross accent because that was what it sounded like to me! Moriarty seems like a petulant child. I guess one could say that Sherlock sometimes is too but I really expected more from the arch nemesis of someone as brilliantly clever as Sherlock Holmes. I wanted someone who was cold, calculating and didn’t talk much so you wouldn’t really know who he was, where he came from or any of his motivations behind the crimes. A lot more deduction would be required then! Instead I felt like I got a prissy, whiny, petulant, attention-seeking man-child.
Hopefully they get the opportunity to flesh out the character a little more in the next season and I’d be proven wrong.
Haters gonna hate so what do you think of this portrayal of Moriarty?
Finally got around to watching BBC’s Sherlock and my god…it’s just brilliant!
Benedict Cumberbatch is born for the role! Martin Freeman brings a lot of humanity to the duo as Dr. Watson. I love the dialogue! It’s rapid fire witty, the score is amusingly quirky with a tad of urgency. Everything is perfect!
This show needs to be a fully-fledged TV series.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively in “Sherlock”, the new BBC Miniseries by Steven Moffatt and Mark Gatiss.
I posted a link a few days ago with the new trailer for “Sherlock” and with his Victorian-era/modern mix clothes and mannerisms, does anyone else think that Benedict Cumberbatch could be a contender for the next incarnation of the Doctor? I mean come on! He so looks the part! He’s got a little Tom Baker in him.
