I'm 99% sure the only reason Moriarty reappears, is because he's stepped into the changing rooms or something and has nowhere else to go, but because John and Sherlock are still there, he has to pretend he's screwing with them.

Meh. I think Moriarty will be better off as a figment of Sherlock's imagination from now on. It'd leave room for more unique villains. Also, I personally don't think Moriarty is alive.

[@junpi8562]

+BillFrypher Or the Moriarty we see above was just a frontman. Remember the taxi driver referred to Moriarty as a plural. 'You're just a man, and they are much more than that.'

[@Cybermat47]

+BillFrypher if Moriarty exists as a figment of Sherlock's imagination, presumably he'd become more and more prominent as Sherlock ingests more fear gas, until Moriarty takes over completely. But then, Sherlock's personality would become Moriarty's fear, and Sherlock would lock him away for good. Sherlock would then activate the Knightfall protocol. Oh wait, that's Batman and the Joker's storyline from Arkham Knight. Oops.

[@billfrypher8335]

Cybermat47 Well shit, thanks for spoiling the game for me. I hadn't got around to playing yet.

[@darklipsharry394]

+Cybermat47 in 'The Abominable Bride' Sherlock figured out that she hadn't come back to life and people were continuing her work for her so maybe Moriarty is dead and someone wants to keep the memory of him alive by making people think he's alive and causing trouble. But then again Moriarty is probably still alive because 'Every fairytale needs a good old fashioned villain .' And because what would be the point he has a have a huge nemesis being the main plot as well as the other little cases he does. I'm going to stop rambling but that's just my theory.

I've finally figured out why Moriarty looks so terrifying. It's his eyes. Sherlock's at least hold a bit of intelligence, a spark of life. Moriarty's don't hold any light. It's like we're staring at a freaking corpse.

[@shreyasingh117]

A corpse's eyes are dull and clear, blank and kinda glassy. So it can't really be like a corpses eyes although it's true you can't really see the brightness. It's just... black.

The reason Moriarty is so confident is because he sees Sherlock as a mirror of himself, only Sherlock has a heart. He knows the worst thing he could do to Sherlock is turn him into himself

[@liselautenbacher]

"I will burn you. I will burn the HEART out of you." Still to this day gives me goose bumps. Simply brilliant acting from Andrew Scott imo.

[@professionalmemeenthusiast2117]

It was a mistake to make Moriarty the first big villain. He was just TOO good to kill off halfway through the show. Magnussen should have been first with an occasional appearance from Moriaty. Irene Adler could have had two episodes to herself and then the main confrontation would have been Series 3 Episode 3. Moriaty could then remain a villain throughout Series 4, and then Series 5 would feature his lieutenants.

[@ReaverLordTonus]

This could have been a great hint at something that would allow the actor to return as Moriarty. Note the following details: 1. His name is just Jim Moriarty, but a certain title is missing, "Professor" 2. When he comes back out he says "I'm so changeable", also why leave only to come right back in 3. He has another identity, Richard Brook, that could in fact be his real name seeing as how he was lying about a super code to alter records and unlock doors so the legit identity came from somewhere. They could have made it so that Sherlock was facing not one Moriarty, but two, twins. One leaves the pool and the other comes in, hence the "Changeable" line. One can manipulate things while the other is locked up. Finally, one can blow his brains out on that rooftop and the other can be free to do whatever with the world thinking he's dead. Basically the plot of the movie "The Prestige", where you have twins living the life of one man with no one ever knowing it.
