AIBU to prefer Moriarty over Sherlock??

A little late to the Sherlock party - just finished series 2.

Ok, I kinda get the Benedict Cumberbatch thing (I've seen the Molly kiss on youtube), but for me.........it would have to be Moriarty.

I think I need a cold shower.....

I would have to agree.

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 20/07/2014 19:12

I'm in Team Watson here. I went all wobbly when he pulled rank at Baskerville.

Me next in the cold shower!

brainwashed · 20/07/2014 19:13

I like Moriarty too...

brainwashed · 20/07/2014 19:14

Watson? Are you serious?!

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 20/07/2014 19:14

I'd rather Sherlock (or even Mycroft) than Moriarty. Shudders I think I'd even rather Mrs Hudson...

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 20/07/2014 19:15

Deadly serious. I think I may be sectionable though. I have had some strange crushes in the past. First crush I ever had was on Wesley Crusher so I clearly have issues...

MollyHooper · 20/07/2014 19:21

YABU.

He's creepy as hell.

FixItUpChappie · 20/07/2014 19:24

YABVU - I've seen that Molly kiss too several times

TalcumPowder · 20/07/2014 19:24

YANBU at all. Mind you, my own order of preference would run Mycroft, Moriarty, Lestrade (Lestade? Anyway, sexpot Rupert Graves), Sherlock.

Lottapianos · 20/07/2014 19:25

No, not getting the Moriarty thing I'm afraid. And I think he's very overplayed by Andrew Scott - just too far on the side of hammy

But thanks for reminding me about the Molly kiss - off to fetch a cold flannel....

Tapirbackrider · 20/07/2014 19:40

YABU

It's Sherlock, then Moriarty, then possibly Lestrade.

squoosh · 20/07/2014 19:43

They're all very plain and I would turn them all down.

OorWullie · 20/07/2014 19:47

YABU.

But not as Unreasonable as squoosh.

...but I do love a bad boy....and a bad boy with a brain! (in my fantasy world!), I'm not sure what it is; the eyes, the mouth, the voice, his demeanour........I so would!

Talcum, Mycroft???? Seriously?

Moriarty is way better than Sherlock. Better actor, better character, better looking...

squoosh · 20/07/2014 20:11

Sorry Wullie!

Actually a friend of mine went out with Moriarty when we were about 15. For ages I couldn't think where I recognised him from. School discos.

FiftyShadesOfGreen4205 · 20/07/2014 20:13

YANBU. Total fanny gallops for the sociopathic little bastard.

MollyHooper · 20/07/2014 20:52

That was poetic Fifty.

Beautiful.

ghostmous3 · 21/07/2014 00:40

I wouldnt say no to Mycroft either. Yum

NotTheKitchenAgainPlease · 21/07/2014 01:25

Mycroft
Lestrade
Sherlock
Watson

I love Mark Gatiss
But I have loved Rupert Graves since Room With a View

steff13 · 21/07/2014 02:07

I generally go for the villian in any given TV show/movie, but I get the "fanny gallops" (LOVE THAT!) for Benedict Cumberbatch. The things I would do to that man...

OnIlkelyMoorBahtat · 21/07/2014 10:40

Sherlock
Watson
Lestrade (gosh, Rupert Graves has aged fantasically hasn't he?)
Mycroft
Moriaty

^^

PS "Fanny gallops" - hahaha!

Downtheroadfirstonleft · 21/07/2014 11:46

Mycroft.
Enough said.
Swoon.

Downtheroadfirstonleft · 21/07/2014 11:47

Mind you, you'd have to make sure you'd signed up for the right series. Mycroft in the original adaptations - NO!
