I don't know the actor, yet. Pity, it's not his brother - Mads Mikkelsen would be great villain. But if Lars Mikkelsen has the same talent and charisma like his brother, his character will be a brilliant adversary to Sherlock.

I know Lars Mikkelsen from The Killing. I really liked him there but he played a nice character there, not a villain.

Do you watch Hannibal? *whispers*

That's a reason, but not an excuse...there are always...alternative means (I certainly WON'T wait until Sherlock is shown over here).

Yeah, that's true. I won't wait until series 3 is shown in Germany, either. But as I am also not very fond of these psychopath-stuff like Dexter & Co., I'm going to wait for Hannibal until it is available here on free TV. I would give it a try, mostly because I like Mads Mikkelsen very much.

But we're getting away from the subject .

My prediction for this new nemesis;

We know that Moriarty had a large network of people working for him; Sherlock says just as much during the trial. It makes sense to me that he would have a second-in-command, someone to take over if he died; Moriarty was a very clever criminal.

Now, consider how much Moriarty was built up in Series 1 before we even met him. When Molly introduced him to Sherlock, I had no idea who he really was, and then there was all those "puzzles" with Moriarty pulling the strings. I find it hard to believe that we've heard the last of him, even though he's dead. That's where this new nemesis comes in; to torment Sherlock on Moriarty's behalf.

So, I predict that this new guy, for the purposes of the show, is taking over as the head of Moriarty's network. There's always someone there to take over in groups like that, like in the Mafia. He looks pretty normal, but they tend to be the most dangerous. Look at Moriarty's first appearance in the hospital; he looked harmless and we soon learnt different. And he was a good actor, during the scene in Kitty's house. I have a feeling that this new guy will be just as dangerous, and that makes me worry for our boys

Any thoughts? 

He's a blackmail artist without any connection to anyone in the books.  I want Moriarty to be dead...dead, dead.  After "the empty hearse" is done, I want the ghost buried alongside the body.  Otherwise, the show will never move on, grow and change.

I hope that Moriarty has handled it so that he's even in death an extreme danger. I wouldn't let him go that fast.

In every interview, The Team have said Moriarty is done.  He will be there for flashbacks of course.
But pointless making a big reveal of the new villain, if M is still around.

Yes I love Moriarty to bits, but he had run his course.
Will definitely miss him.

Just like Irene Adler is THE woman, for me Moriarty was just THE villan.

Well, I am happy I won't see M's face any more. It truly reminded me of a pervy I once met and I used to feel uneasy when he was on screen.
