BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Sherrinford connection to Moriarty?

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** January 8, 2017 10:36 pm

She left "miss me?" in her note to Sherlock, which everyone knows is Moriarty's catchphrase...so what's the connection?

Wouldn't that be awesome. Moriarty is actually connected to Sherlock's family? Might be one of them even?

I cannot wrap my head around it right now. Maybe they are on the same side, and it's just for attention. But then why threaten John?

Mycroft said he/she was "secure". Apparently not. But it's a hint Sherrinford isn't really a nice one. Or at least quite dangerous right now.

I think she's completely unhinged!

When she began taking of her glasses in teh end, her mannerisms were just like Moriarty's. They must be connected somehow!

I may honest to god throw up.

why didn't Sherlock recognise her?

**Posted by Sherlock's Curl** January 8, 2017 10:57 pm

Do you think she's been in exile because she had/has something to do with Moriarty?

Was there a woman on board of that boat from the Setlock pictures?

At one point, when she was removing her contact lenses, I thought she was gonna pull off her whole face and it would be Moriarty underneath

I thought that for a minute too, Boss!

Mycroft might have sent her away, given his words in HLV about the other one. Interesting that Lady Smallwood and the other guy know about Sherrinford, then.

Yeah, that! That was so creepy! Complete with his jaw movements and favorite vocab!

Me too! I even thought her brown eye looked like Moriarty's.

Maybe she's picked up Moriarty's mannerisms because she's been dating him

Maybe because Sherinford was a risk? Like, for the national security? O.o

And Mycroft's

Maybe Euros hired 'Richard Brook'...

????
Mycroft's eyes are not brown. Or do you mean the eye without the contact lens, the "Holmesian blue" one?

I don't support the "Sherrinford is the 4th sibling" theory, but what if in some twisted way Sherrinford = Moriarty?

I agree it doesn't make much sense, but it was just a funny thought that occurred to me as I read Whisky's post!

**Posted by Lola Red** January 9, 2017 6:47 pm

I do not think the Moriarty is related to the Holmes family (at least not by blood). But I wouldn't it be great if they fooled us into believing that Sherrinfort was the third Holmes brother, when it was actually the code name for Moriarty?

**Posted by Ivy** January 9, 2017 7:13 pm

But is really the sister meant with Sherrinford? I first thought that she is aka Euros.
Someone on tumblr suggested that ...“Sherrinford” here likely suggests a mental asylum or prison, and a very high security one..."
