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.....

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

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.

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

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????

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

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...

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

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

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.

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

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

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