Hahaha yeah.... agreed. Moriarty stories are often my least favorite (except for the Game of Shadows plot, which I thought worked with all the over the top campiness and plotholes). I like the Holmes mysteries because they always end with some kind of hidden emotional human drama! Not because of the intricacies of a crime overlord.

Have you ever heard the BBC Radio version of Scandal in Bohemia? There the scandal is that Irene Adler is a crossdresser and the photograph is of the king of Bohemia kissing her as a man, which I thought was pretty clever and fun :D

I mean I'm excited anyway- I'm always excited to see new Holmes adaptations! And I always love Moffat's over the top writing. but I agree with ya I agree with ya
