I’m sure that at this point the Sherlock fandom is geeking out at the thought of Moriarty being the mastermind behind the tragic events in 007’s life.

That would be absolutely fantastic to watch but the chances of that happening are about as slim as Moriarty coming back to life for the fourth season of Sherlock.
