Moriarty annoys Sherlock by sitting in a different chair than the one Sherlock offers him, and Sherlock bothers Moriarty by offering the tea cup's handle on the opposite side, knowing Moriarty is left handed. Such an amazing show.
@@alfianadeem150 No that's showing respect and etiquette but since moriarty kind of annoyed him by sitting in the other chair sherlock just returned the favour. Jim had to turn the cup to the left side.
+Jeff Rickel The Irish Government doesn't recognise the term 'British Isles', for exactly this reason; Irish people aren't British, and the term implies that they are. Go to a pub in Dublin and tell everyone in there that they're British. I dare you.
Wanda Nemer, ding ding ding, correct! Answer to the riddle of the final problem. The best gentleman psychopath in the room is still a psychopath. And while Moriarty is the best in his criminal field, his field is full of corrupt, worthless criminals. Which means that Moriarty is the worst in being good, which makes him an idiot. He’s smart in crime, but not in doing what’s right. Despite popular opinion, only Good triumphs over Evil in the end. If Evil is still on top, that means it’s not the end. It’ll only be the end when Good comes ahead and breaks Evil’s back. Then Evil, and Moriarty, will never be on top again. They will be permanently placed on the bottom of the Reichenbach Fall.
True, but "Suddenly I'm mister sex" didn't inspire a song that made the top 10 on the Alt rock chart. And I don't think even Billie Eilish could have made it sound as wicked.
I love this interpretation of Moriarty. He reminds me very much of The Joker from The Dark Knight. A sick, twisted criminal super-genius, who has no motive other than pure anarchy and chaos
No. The joker would call this man a "schemer" because that's all he is. Joker would despise this man even though moriarty is probably a lot smarter than the joker
BaldManLogan Im not saying they`d be exchanging xmas cards, Im just saying that like the Joker, this Moriarty is incredibly unhinged and unpredictable. Also, he seems to have an obsession with Sherlock, which is the same relationship as Batman/Joker, and would go any lengths to vex him
They are both different versions of the same character. Moriarty/Joker=evil/death. Sherlock/Batman=good/life. Two sides of the same coin. "To be or not to be that is the question"-The Final Problem.
shogun harlem To be fair, I don't personally think Moriarty in this interpretation is a typical evil genius. Evil, yes, genius, definitely, but not typical; your typical evil genius' sole motivation is usually to show the world how brilliant they are, etc, etc In this series, Moriarty seems almost bored, like his genius is a curse to him and it's sucked all the fun out of life. Sherlock is the playmate who provides him with a momentary distraction, until he gets bored again. Moriarty seems depressed. In short, his motivation, contrary to the archetypal evil genius, is simply boredom.
I laugh every time he's like, "Ordinary people are so amusing. I should get me a live in one. That'd be sooo funny." Just the way he says it is hilarious.
"And honey you should see me in a crown!" Gets me every time. Andrew delivers it perfectly; the could not have picked a better person to play Moriarty. Gimme more!
Ikr, the fuck, it's funny cause he be acting so over the top and sarcastic and goofy but at the end of the day he looks dead inside 😂 Sherlock is a sociopath cause he has difficutly understanding social life and interaction, Moriarty is a psychopath because he just never gave a F
His eyes! His freaking pupils! Do you see how big they are?! It's like looking into an abyss where hidden creatures lurk, waiting for you to be dumb enough to enter so they can tear you limb to limb, and suck the fucking marrow from your bones. Jesus Christ, his eyes scared me. Bravo, Andrew Scott. Fucking Bravo.
The definition of a sociopath is someone incapable of experiencing empathy. Such a person is not necessarily evil. It is easier for a sociopath to do evil things due to their lack of empathy. But a sociopath can also be a person who does good things and has good relationships.
*further spoilers* The twin theory must be right! For fear of sounding like a massive sherlock geek, in non-dangerous situations moriarty in right handed, but at all other times he's left handed!
It's funny how Moriarty straight up tells Sherlock that "every person has their pressure point, someone that they want to protect from harm" but Sherlock doesn't pay attention. And then when Moriarty asks Sherlock about the "final problem" Sherlock is clueless. "I did tell you, but did you listeeen?". After what he said it's obvious that he'd be after Sherlock's pressure points (his friends)... he even told him about the fall. Wow Moriarty had it all planned in advance. I wouldn't be surprised if he planned his death and beyond.
well in Magnussen's explanation pressure points don't always seem to be people that person wants to protect isn't it funny that Moriarty himself is in the list of Sherlock's pressure points :-3
In an empty hearse sherlock explains that he did know but he simply pretended not to know do that moriarty didn't know sherlock knew ... Lol I think moriarty has come back thinking sherlock is dead
"Falling is like flying except there is a more permanent destination." I mean damn, we admire the actors ok, but the writing of the dialogue is just... Stunning
Omg I'm just gonna dive into this because I completely agree and I'm obsessed with both. The Joker, obviously, is like Moriarty. They both want to see Batman/Sherlock 'crack'. In the Dark Knight, Batman's rule was that he wouldn't ever purposely kill someone. Batman had good morals that he stood for. The Joker tried to get Batman to break his rule and make him realize morals were a joke. That's what the Joker found pleasure in, because Batman seemed incorruptible unlike all the people the Joker had successfully shown were hypocrites morally. The Joker tried to crack Batman by having Batman unknowingly responsible for killing Rachel (Batman's love and pressure point) and also many times giving Batman a clear way to kill him. The Joker thought the combined pain of guilt for in a way killing Rachel and also not killing the Joker (who lived went on to cause death and destruction) could make Batman crack his morals. Alright. Now, this relates incredibly to Sherlock and Moriarty because Moriarty finds pleasure in trying to break Sherlock's unemotional veneer and make him realize he's a regular person and not a sociopath. Omgomg i could talk for hours about this. Anyway, Moriarty tries to show Sherlock is a regular person and not a sociopath like him by making Sherlock emotional. In the dialogue between them, Moriarty says "I will burn the heart out of you." And then Sherlock says "I've been reliably informed I don't have one." I think. But Moriarty retaliates and replies, "But we both know that's not quite true." Moriarty knows that Sherlock has a heart, has feelings, and therefore isn't an apathetic sociopath. But Sherlock doesn't except this and wants to be a proper sociopath. Why? Because Sherlock is incredibly insecure. Yeah. That arrogance isn't from overconfidence, but a cover for his low self-esteem. Sherlock feels that being an ordinary person is a bad thing. His brother often talks about regular people with disdain for being so ordinary. And what's more ordinary than feelings, right? So Sherlock tries to be a sociopath and conceal those normal ordinary feelings because god forbid someone finds out he's not actually an amazing sociopath. Moriarty knows this. He says on the rooftop "i am you" to Sherlock (as in, we are both sociopaths) and proceeds to shoot himself as to show Sherlock "this is what real sociopaths do. You aren't me." Sherlock then fakes his death and metaphorically fakes his sociopathy. Another parallel between the Dark Knight and Sherlock is how both the Joker and Moriarty use the Batman's/Sherlock's love to break them, wether it be through guilt or showing emotion. Moriarty uses John to bring out Sherlock's emotion and prove that Sherlock is no high functioning sociopath. Like the Joker, Moriarty is nothing without his arch-nemesis. In the Dark Knight, the Joker clearly states, "What would I do without you? [You as in Batman] Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! See you... You complete me." Moriarty's sole purpose is to just show Sherlock definitely has feelings and has a heart. Without that, Moriarty gets BORED. But I don't think he would die without Sherlock. Uh-uh. Because in one comic book, (Going Sane) the Batman does die. But the Joker doesn't. He becomes an ordinary person. I guess you could say that the Joker dies because his persona does, but the actual person doesn't. So Moriarty wouldn't die. He'd become normal. Okay, last thing. Sherlock has to choose. Sherlock has to choose between becoming an ordinary person (showing his feelings) (Johnlock hehe
***** where have you read this ? It's very interessant I want learn more about that ! :) thx you ♡ And, by the way....The Killing Joke is my favorite story :) the Joker's awesome in it !
If he isn't back I will be gutted. I like Sherlock as a show but come on we all know season 3 felt different. Sherlock and Moriarty have a Batman and Joker relationship. One can't exist without the other. They love to hate each other
I love how polite-British-stereotypical this scene is. Two enemies that want the other incarcerated/dead are just talking casually over a cup of tea. About one of them's destruction by the other. It's just so darn calm and polite.
"Except you're boring", "You think I can't worm my way into 12 hotel rooms", "Easy-peasy" - the way he delivers these lines and many others in this scene always gets me. Even the most trivial things stand out when Andrew says them. And his quiet menacing voice is just something else.
Jim: ''I should get myself a live in one...'' >.> Sherlock (serious): ''Why are you- Jim: ^.^ Sherlock: ''doing all of this?'' Jim: ''It'd be so funny...''
'I.O.U' seems to have some special significance. I hope they go into it in season four, because it felt like Sherlock and Moriarty were communicating on a level that we, the audience, weren't privy to. (Also the fact that Sherlock seemed to convince Moriarty to kill himself on the roof in a matter of seconds. What was Sherlock really going to do to him? Only one of them had a gun... There must have been something else going on, it doesn't make sense otherwise.)
IOU-he is referring to the numbers the elements I,O,U have in the periodical system 53,8,92.The Grimms fairytales are consisted of 212 stories I think.And the stories marked with numbers 53,8,92 metaphorically go with what was happening in the lifes of Sherlock and himself."I did tell you,but did you listen" :)
Alexandra Larmen Funny, too I just finished a Literature course and had to read the original translations if all the Grimms Brothers tales&do an essay bringing forth new points on them.
S: I don't kown! ... M: hum that's clever, that's very clever, awfully clever roppopp... Ho god this is the best, I can't stop watching that bit, so evil, so funny, Andrew Scott is a genius actor really.
M: How hard do you find it? Having to say "I don't know?" S: ............I don't know. M: oh that's clever awfully clever S: *smirks* Had my dying. Rewatched that like 10 times.
Every time I watch this scene it fills me with something like anticipation, but the way they speak also has a calming effect. It makes me feel like I'm in on the conversation.. The third series didn't do this, it made me feel like I was watching it , not like it was happening around me. It's hard to explain, really. This just hangs so much heavier with an air of elegance and fondness... I feel like the show is missing that, now.
its only in a british tv show that the hero'd have tea with his archnemesis... i love that scene... like it could the end of the world but y'know lets have a cuppa...
After some thought my 3 favourite scenes: 1) This one, because 2 of the most talented actors you're ever going to see, playing the most famous hero/villain duo to perfection. 2)The Sherlock /Mycroft scene outside the morgue. One you've got that profile shot and secondly we get to see what they're really like when nobody's looking. 3)Crown jewels, it's so funny Andrew's having the time of his life and it shows, also yet again it's beautifully shot, the use of reflection is stunning.
No better counterpoint for this Sherlock than this Moriarty. I could watch an hour and a half of just them having tea, that’s how good their acting and their chemistry is. Brilliant writing but the delivery. Man, the delivery. Andrew outshines Benedict in most of their scenes together, and that’s no easy feat. Such brilliant actors. I really wish we’ll get a season 5 where they finally figure out how to really bring Moriarty back. Too good of a character not to, seriously.
This is my favourite scene from any show or movie ever. Not sure why but its absolutely amazing and I have learned every word. 😅 This whole episode was amazing though.
I wonder who died to make Moriarty into the man he is. It says it quite clearly with, "THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO!" He lost someone very important and he snapped.
It goes without saying that I adore the characters of Sherlock and John, but dear Lord, the actor who plays Moriarty was a freaking GENIUS in this scene. His performance here is abso-friggin-lutely BRILLIANT. 😯😯😯😯😯
The great thing about this show is that it brought together a gathering of great talents. (In front of, also behind the camera.) It’s best virtue is that of bringing the stories to a new generation.
Right now, I'm finally reading the story this was based on. It's quite terrifying how insane Moriarty is, and yet he's so much fun, like The Joker in some ways.
The camera angles are perfect in this scene. I don't know why, but this is the best scene in the entire series. I love the cinematography. It's quality.
"And honey you should see me in a crown." The best line I have ever heard from a villain.
Emma Louise Paradise hahhaha and sexy. the way he said it. And Sherlock is amazing too.

IOU-he is referring to the numbers the elements I,O,U have in the periodical system 53,8,92.The Grimms fairytales are consisted of 212 stories I think.And the stories marked with numbers 53,8,92 metaphorically go with what was happening in the lifes of Sherlock and himself."I did tell you,but did you listen" :)
Wow. I don't mean to sound like John, but that was brilliant. Which stories are they?
Little snow white,The Strange Musician,The King of the Golden Mountain
Alexandra Larmen Thank you. (:
Alexandra Larmen how does it correspond to sherlock's life?
Alexandra Larmen Funny, too I just finished a Literature course and had to read the original translations if all the Grimms Brothers tales&do an essay bringing forth new points on them.
S: I don't kown! ...
M: hum that's clever, that's very clever, awfully clever roppopp...
Ho god this is the best, I can't stop watching that bit, so evil, so funny, Andrew Scott is a genius actor really.
God, I love Moriarty. So perfectly wicked and terrifying. Andrew Scott was perfect.
interesting how both Moriarty and Magnussen use the same term "Pressure Point"
Almost like they were written by the same people with the same limited "bad guy" vocabulary.
Yes, almost.
"Every person has their pressure point"...I wonder if he spoke to Magnussen to find these out?
***** Rather certain Magnussen is dead. Chances of Moriarty being alive are at 34%, after S3E3 at 47% (there were some subtle hints.)
The stare he gives sherlock at the end js probsbly one of the most intense ive seen in TV or film. Brilliant performance
0:44, 1:18, 1:22
this was literally a scene of Sherlock just sassing Moriarty. 😂😂
I could really see Tyler Oakly sayin' Moriarty's "Honey, you should see me in a crown" line!
Andrew Scott's bone chilling portrayal of Moriarty is just that. Superb job.
love the editing for the bit where he's talking about falling
M: How hard do you find it? Having to say "I don't know?"
S: ............I don't know.
M: oh that's clever awfully clever
S: *smirks*
Had my dying. Rewatched that like 10 times.
Moriarty, man...he's the type of villain I think is truly scary. Absolutely brilliant, but completely and totally insane.
Moriarty, obsessed with solving the problem, just like a mathematician.
Going back to his roots as Professor Moriarty
"Aren't ordinary people adorable" that line it's just spot on.
“I should get myself a live-in one. Must be so funny.” I love that line.
Every time I watch this scene it fills me with something like anticipation, but the way they speak also has a calming effect. It makes me feel like I'm in on the conversation.. The third series didn't do this, it made me feel like I was watching it , not like it was happening around me. It's hard to explain, really. This just hangs so much heavier with an air of elegance and fondness... I feel like the show is missing that, now.
"...You're on the side of the angels."
*shiver runs down spine*
I'll take two please? :]
its only in a british tv show that the hero'd have tea with his archnemesis... i love that scene... like it could the end of the world but y'know lets have a cuppa...
Great show, great acting, great actors. The character Moriarty is scary in my opinion. Whenever Andrew Scott has that look in his eye... *shivers*
After some thought my 3 favourite scenes:
1) This one, because 2 of the most talented actors you're ever going to see, playing the most famous hero/villain duo to perfection.
2)The Sherlock /Mycroft scene outside the morgue. One you've got that profile shot and secondly we get to see what they're really like when nobody's looking.
3)Crown jewels, it's so funny Andrew's having the time of his life and it shows, also yet again it's beautifully shot, the use of reflection is stunning.
Someone needs to throw an Oscar at Andrew Scott
I love the dialog in this video. It's one of my favorites and I could listen to it a million times.
Thank you.
No better counterpoint for this Sherlock than this Moriarty. I could watch an hour and a half of just them having tea, that’s how good their acting and their chemistry is. Brilliant writing but the delivery. Man, the delivery. Andrew outshines Benedict in most of their scenes together, and that’s no easy feat. Such brilliant actors. I really wish we’ll get a season 5 where they finally figure out how to really bring Moriarty back. Too good of a character not to, seriously.
This is my favourite scene from any show or movie ever. Not sure why but its absolutely amazing and I have learned every word. 😅 This whole episode was amazing though.
can't watch this without smiling. this scene is so good, andrew is so good,, this episode is soo good.
Andrew Scott would be perfect for the Riddler in a Batman movie.
I've just realised that both Magnessun and Moriarty both used the term "pressure point". I'm happy :)
One of my favorite scenes!! Andrew Scott is brilliant as Moriarty!! No one can play him as he can!
I hope he really is returning in season 4. There's no way they could just kill off Sherlock's arch nemesis in season 2.
Jesus, that was so intense.
When Moriarty said everyone has a pressure point, does that have anything to do with S3E3 Charles Augustus Magnussen?
Yea it does. ;) Good catch!
I wonder who died to make Moriarty into the man he is. It says it quite clearly with, "THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO!" He lost someone very important and he snapped.
And now... S04E03 called... The Final Problem... really looking forward to that..
I was thinking the same thing
And then the episode happened :(
We all wanted him to brake free... but... :(
That entrance was really good though.
extremely good... every fairytale needs a good old fashioned villain.. and we got the best one for 6 mins
It goes without saying that I adore the characters of Sherlock and John, but dear Lord, the actor who plays Moriarty was a freaking GENIUS in this scene. His performance here is abso-friggin-lutely BRILLIANT. 😯😯😯😯😯
I almost forgot how good this show was and how i had to remind myself to breath at some scenes
The great thing about this show is that it brought together a gathering of great talents. (In front of, also behind the camera.)
It’s best virtue is that of bringing the stories to a new generation.
Right now, I'm finally reading the story this was based on. It's quite terrifying how insane Moriarty is, and yet he's so much fun, like The Joker in some ways.
1:44 is where the chills start
Did anyone else think that Sherlock serving Moriarty tea was so fckn hilarious? :D:D:D
"okaaay" "very good because?" the way he delivers those simple lines damn.. andrew scott, you 🐐
"Everybody have a pressure point"... Remind me of someone !
Superb television show. One of the best shows ever made. Beautifully adapted writing.
Moriarty: and honey you should see me in a crown
Me: great, another guy I'm addicted to is going to die! Darn it moffat
The two best actors in this entire show. The protagonist and the antagonist having a battle of the minds over a cup of tea. Just Brilliant!
I need Moriarty, or I am nothing
He will be in the Final Problem, I'm 99,9999999% sure of that. Check out Andrew Scott's imdb page ;D Our favourite villain WILL return
Lizzie hes the besttttttttttt
And oh how we have missed him ♡
Lizzie trueeee
Happy now?
The camera angles are perfect in this scene. I don't know why, but this is the best scene in the entire series. I love the cinematography. It's quality.
"oh yeah that's very clever..very clever.."
that Moriarty's face lol
"How hard do you find it, having to say 'I don't know'?"
"I don't know."
"Ahh that's clever very clever wooclever wupup."
Did you miss me?
Yes, yes I did.
I don't even like or watch the show. This scene is so damn brilliant, it can be watched (and yes obsessed over) on it's own. I am in love
After reading fan fiction EVERYTHING CHANGES.
After the Fire Nation attacks...
Andrew Scott should be up there with Heath Ledger and the Joker as one of the best portrayals of a villain in history.
