I thought he just put his hand down in the time the camera was focusing on Moriarty, lol

Well, sorry to heap aspersions on this already-much-maligned episode, but does anyone else think it absolutely incredible that Sherlock would notice Soo Lin's flat simply because the phone book was outside the door? The open window wasn't on the street, so the resident(s) could in fact have "gone on holiday". And even if it did look suspicious to him, I just can't suspend belief sufficiently to believe that the flat was "coincidentally" rented by Soo Lin.

I thought the exact same thing. Like, would he just go around breaking in on anyone who looks like they've been away from their flat for a while?

I see your points. I guess at the time it seemed to me that he wanted the name for his own curiosity / playing the game ratherthan to prevent future killings or anything like that. It felt out of character to me but I do see where it makes sense =)

When Sherlock basically tortured the cabbie for Moriarty's name? It REALLY bothered me. I could understand if it was a matter of saving someone else, but just for a name? I didn't like seeing that side of Sherlock.
