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 don't understand the fuss about Benedict Cumberpatch at all.

HayDayQueen · 21/07/2014 11:53

Moriarty???!!!! He looks too much like Ant of Ant and Dec.....

bendydickcumonmybaps · 21/07/2014 20:44

Yabu...not a patch on Sherlock, plus he was super annoying. Hammy and not really scary

Lottapianos · 21/07/2014 21:21

Owl, I didn't either - couldn't understand the fuss on here AT ALL. Then I watched him host HIGNFY and it was a whole new world. Then I watched all of Sherlock and was a total lost cause. Then I watched Parade's End and have never drooled so much in my life. So there is hope for you yet.

He is total Marmite though - you either think he looks downright weird or you think he's a total hod, no in between.

Lottapianos · 21/07/2014 21:22

Oh FFS! God, not hod!

HouseBaelish · 21/07/2014 21:37

Oh Lestrade is utterly beautiful.

FrankelandFilly · 21/07/2014 21:52

I had a very "interesting" dream about Moriarty last year (Blush @ the memory) But it's still Sherlock all the way

RiverTam · 21/07/2014 21:57

Sherlock
Lestrade (in fact, it's a toss up between these 2, maybe both together, you could start off with Lestrade while Sherlock unwinds, as it were)
Watson
Molly

not fussed about Moriarty at all, and Mycroft?? Really???? What would you (could you) do with him????

DoomDeer · 21/07/2014 21:58

Started out on the Moriarty team. I thought Cumberbatch's face was a little wierd , but its growing on me...what can I say I likethe weird ones and the bad guys.

RiverTam · 21/07/2014 22:03

for Owl And because you need pics for threads about BC and RG, oh yes.

OwlCapone · 21/07/2014 22:39

Is that meant to change my mind about the squinty eyed one?

Downtheroadfirstonleft · 21/07/2014 22:49

I went off Watson when I heard his (real) wife had gone bankrupt to avoid a big tax bill.

Fram · 21/07/2014 22:54

YABU, and probably are visually-impaired.
Moriarty looks like AntOrDec, and behaves like a gibbering baboon.
The little policeman chap is nicer- don't know his name, think he had a beard in series 3, looks like he should be named Andrew, and was in a little sherlock club...

MollyHooper · 21/07/2014 23:06

The little policeman chap is Anderson, so you're not far off with Andrew. :o

Fram · 21/07/2014 23:36

Grin Ha! I always guess people's names by their faces.

ABlandAndDeadlyCourtesy · 21/07/2014 23:40

Sherlock
Lestrade
Adler

Lottapianos · 22/07/2014 06:30

Wow thank you for those River!

FrankelandFilly · 22/07/2014 16:42

Fo

FrankelandFilly · 22/07/2014 16:43

For those with a Moriarty thing, Andrew Scott will be on Steve Wright's show on Radio 2 on Friday afternoon Grin

OnlyLovers · 22/07/2014 18:44

No, YANBU. He's hawt. I think he's a great actor too and plays a theatrical character rather than playing the character too theatrically/hammily, IYSWIM.

He's excellent and v attractive in Jimmy's Hall as a priest. [Inappropriate]

Apparently he's good on stage too.

But if it came down to it I'd have to go for Benedict. It'd be churlish not to, wouldn't it?

I quite fancy Gatiss though, although obviously in RL he bats for the other side.

I don't get the Rupert Graves thing AT ALL. Annoyingly scratchy voice, one facial expression.

Tanith · 22/07/2014 19:40

Mycroft the character is also gay, I thought? Didn't Sherlock and Watson have a very immature giggle over "the queen" in Series 2?

Tanith · 22/07/2014 19:42

I do like Mark Gatiss, too. He would have made a fantastic Dr. Who, I reckon.

Greypuddle · 22/07/2014 19:46

The actor who plays Moriarty is, I'm afraid to say, also batting for the other side...
