love-sickfool replied to your post: DOES MORIARTY APPEAR IN SEASON 3

OMG. WOW. NO!

Don’t shoot the messenger. This is definitely not new information.

I chose this response to address, but that goes for all of you who are suddenly having a panic attack about Moriarty not returning in Series 3. Moriarty died at Reichenbach Falls in the Doyle canon as well, so really, this plot development has been 120 years in the making.

ACCORDING TO BOTH MOFFAT AND ANDREW SCOTT:

NO.

HE’S REALLY, LEGITIMATELY DEAD.

Sebastian Moran: Moriarty’s right-hand man. He has been generally interpreted as the Watson to Moriarty’s Holmes. If memory serves, he made his first appearance in “The Adventure of the Empty House,” the story in which Holmes makes his grand reappearance after “The Final Problem.” The character has not yet officially appeared in BBC’s Sherlock, though many have speculated that the sniper watching John in “The Reichenbach Fall” was meant to be Moran. Because the character is well-known in the Doyle canon, however, and because the Sherlock fandom likes to ship all the things with all the nonexistent things, there have been appearances by Sebastian Moran in a great many fanfictions and fanart.

For those of you outside the U.K. who cannot watch the video posted on John Watson’s blog (http://www.johnwatsonblog.co.uk/) as part of an apparent hacking by Moriarty,this is a non-region encoded copy of it.

It is the very definition of creepy.

Jim: hello?
Irene: Hi Jim! You sound annoyed, is this a bad time to call?
Jim: yes, of course it is, what do you want?

Mad Libs with Moriarty

While this is, thus far, a small meme, it is the first true meme I have seen that is born of “A Scandal in Belgravia” (i.e. something that is not self-explanatory, such as Sherlock in a bedsheet).

Near the beginning of “A Scandal in Belgravia,” Moriarty receives a very poorly-timed phone call. While it is clearly implied that the call was from Irene Adler, and while we hear Moriarty’s side of the conversation, it is never revealed precisely what Irene said. This has left a gap into which the fandom has characteristically poured as much crack as possible by filling the blank spots in the conversation. While the call was canonically from Irene, Sherlockians have also imagined that it might have been Sebastian Moran, characters from other shows, and in one case, the Baker Street Pastry Shop.

Examples to follow.
