Elementary, my dear Watson.

My dear Sherlock, I've been waiting for ages for you to come to this obvious conclusion.

Dear brother.... I came to the conclusion long ago, but merely waited on posting it until I could draw you out of the insipid club of yours.

I approve

This Steven Moffat did wonders for the Doctor's story and I thoroughly enjoy his update of my life's work.

Elementary, my dear Watson!

Hmmm.

Indeed.

Is it possible that Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty are the same individual (a multiple Personality)? Not being familiar with the books, do other people see both of them together?

Is this a case of Superman and Clark Kent with and without the glasses?

No, it is definitely not the case.

However, ...

• Go forth and read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's excellent mystery stories!
• I can also recommend Jeremy Brett's interpretation in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" series.

Another of the ridiculous theories is The Sever Per Cent Solution, a novel that was made into a movie starring that fine actor Sir Laurence Olivier. A truly great actor, able to portray that criminal as a harmless math professor...

Mr. Holmes, I hope when you are done with the Moriarty case, you will find the real murderer of my two nephews. I am sure there's a Lancastrian behind it, if not Henry himself!

I'm not entirely sure you want use of my services, sir. The truth is seldom welcome by those who seek it.

There's been quite a number of theories both published and unpublished. One is that Moriarty is a figment of my imagination, since my mind needed an equal adversary and thus created one. One story published was that the actual Moriarity was a harmless professor of mathematics and my 'drug-addled' mind made him out to be a horrendous criminal mastermind (the story went so far to say I received treatment from Dr. Sigmund Freud for my 'addiction' and paranoia).

I assure you, these are merely stories. Some were written on commission by the Professor himself to defame me, others written to 'cash in', as you Americans say, on my fame.

Moriarity is as real as I am and as great a threat to London as any seen before.

"He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endowed by nature with a phenomenal mathematical faculty. At the age of twenty-one he wrote A Treatise on the Binomial Theorem, which has had a European vogue. On the strength of it he won the mathematical chair at one of our smaller universities, and had, to all appearances, a most brilliant career before him.

But the man had hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which, instead of being modified, was increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers. Dark rumours gathered round him in the University town, and eventually he was compelled to resign his chair and come down to London..."
