I think I have a thing for a bit more subtle references. :3
Actual Criminal Moriarty
You’re walking ‘round the pool
There’s no one around,
And your pink phone is dead.
Out of the corner of your eye you spot him,
Moriarty.
He’s staring at you
About 30 feet away.
He looks at you, he gives you a wicked grin.
This is your first encounter.
Moriarty.
You’re sitting in your cab,
But you’re look at the screen..
He’s almost upon you now
And you can see that evil grin on his face.
My god, that man’s everywhere!
Running for your life
(From Moriarty.)
He’s brandishing a plot.
(It’s Moriarty.)
Lurking in the shadows
Consulting criminal Moriarty.
Feeding of excitement,
(Moriarty.)
Looking for fun,
(Moriarty.)
Solving other’s problems
Actual criminal Moriarty.
Now it’s a new day and you seem to have lost him,
But you’re hopelessly lost yourself.
Waiting for a madman,
You plot silently under pressure.
AHa! In your pocket,
A small vibration from your phone.
Hope!
Your hand nimbly picks it up,
It’s a text! But it’s from Moriarty!
Putting down your phone,
(Thinking, thinking.)
Walking up the staircase,
(Thinking, thinking.)
Now you’re on the rooftop,
Waiting for you, Moriarty.
Listening to the Bee Gees
(Moriarty)
But he stops as you enter,
(Moriarty.)
You’re walking up towards him.
Confronting criminal Moriarty.
Battle of wits with Moriarty,
Wrestling a gun from Moriarty
He points it at his brain stem,
Safe at last from Moriarty.
You jump down from the tall building,
Blood oozing from your wounded body.
But you have won.
You have beaten Moriarty.
He’s a deconstructed and more vulnerable character who is easier to relate to and care about. But it’s a slow learning curve. He’s still staggeringly smart, violent, physically capable, irreverent, comically rude – to idiots or even anyone vaguely in his way – and dangerous

Sherlockians: Get your act together
Yes, this is about ‘Elementary’ - or rather all the hate that follows.
I am glad that so many people seem to have an opinion about the show - I think it’s interesting to read what other people see in the preview and in the limited minutes of characterization we get to see. Some people like it, some people don’t. Some people say they’re thrilled - some say it’s not what they hoped for. And that’s okay. Both points of view are okay. You’re allowed to like it the same way as you’re allowed to dislike it. What’s not okay is to send hate in other people’s direction because they don’t have the ‘right’ opinion according to you. Hate is not okay. Hate is never okay. Of course you’re allowed to disagree with other people - but there’s a difference between disagreeing and hating or attacking.
We’re all part of the same family; we’re Sherlockians. We’re clever, mad and rational. We have a good reputation. Crazy, but good. Why are we behaving like this? It doesn’t have to be this way.
This is the responsibility of us all: No matter opinion. No matter whether you like it or dislike it.
All right? I love you all. Brilliant, brilliant fandom.

![Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss says Mycroft Holmes is even more intelligent than the detective himself.
References in the original Sherlock Holmes stories suggest Sherlock’s brother does indeed possess superior powers of observation and deduction, although his sedentary nature prevents him from being an effective detective.
And Gatiss, who plays Mycroft in the series, says he’d like future episodes of the show to reveal more about the brothers’ abrasive relationship and Mycroft’s own talents.
“Why are the Holmes brothers the way they are? What are their parents like? Maybe we’ll see one day. I’d like to find a way of showing more than we have that [Mycroft] is actually even cleverer than Sherlock,” Gatiss said during a webchat with Sherlock’s US broadcaster PBS.
But he admitted it could be a long time before viewers learn more about the brothers’ enigmatic past.
“Far better to leave things in everyone’s imaginations,” said Gatiss in response to a fan question about whether the Holmes family background was to be explained in the new series. “It’s nice to give little hints here and there but never a full answer.”
Gatiss revealed that the problem of how much information to give the audience about Mycroft and Sherlock had arisen during the making of A Study in Pink, the opening episode of the 2010 reboot.
“We actually cut a bit from Pink which gave a bit too much away about the obvious frisson of animosity that exists between them,” the actor and co-creator said, adding: “It’s not there in the original stories. It comes entirely from Billy Wilder and Izzy Diamond’s brilliant [1970 film] The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and Christopher Lee’s cold, disdainful Mycroft. If you haven’t seen it - do!”
Gatiss also discussed how he came to play the part himself, confirming that his Mycroft has a real-life inspiration.
“Mycroft wasn’t in the pilot, so no [I wasn’t always planning to play him]. But when we came to rethinking and reshooting episode one it just sort of happened. I’d just auditioned to play Peter Mandelson in a TV film and we’d already discussed how reptilian and Mandelsonian we wanted Mycroft to be. We also saw a great chance to fool people into thinking I was Moriarty. And it worked!”

Hitler’s Reaction to “The Reichenbach Fall”
First I was like “Oh god. Another one of these.” But it’s pretty good, actually! I’m surprised!
