1. Moriarty Comes Back
For two seasons now, we’ve been tortured with the return of James Moriarty. But it’s never happened. We just get teased and teased and this season, part of our dreams came true. Part because he’s still dead but he did come back to the show.
Andrew Scott (the actor who plays Moriarty) was a part of “The Final Problem” and reprised his famous role. And it was all so James Moriarty that it was perfect. He emerges from the plane to “I Want to Break Free” by Queen and then just continues to get better and better as the episode goes on.
Honestly, Moriarty was one of the best characters of all time and I wish that their relationship was explored just a little more. Especially since he was, seemingly, close enough to Mycroft to get a plane ride over to visit Eurus.

So Sherlock season four has come to an end. We don’t know if that means the show is over for good or just for now but no matter what it is, we love this show. Sherlock keeps us all on our toes and we love going on journeys with John Watson and Sherlock Holmes. The game is afoot!
