The casting of sherlock and watson was absolutely genius but there is something to be said about the sheer perfection of andrew as moriarty. Just spectacular!

My favorite scene with Moriarty is when he broke into the Tower of London's secured room. By the end of it I was laughing and applauding! Brilliant!

I love that Andrew Scott. How can an actor be so Moriarty and so the Sexy Priest and so great probably as Mother Theresa.

When they started talking about casting someone famous as moriarty, my first thought was Anthony Hopkins, and the first thing Mark Gatiss mentions in the conversation is Hannibal Lecter in Silence of The Lambs. Good goddamn!
