MISS M(oriarty) E(lizabeth)?
Following the idea that “MISS ME?” is associated with Miss Mary Elizabeth (read MISS M(ary) E(lizabeth)?), I wondered if E from The Six Thatchers could be Moriarty’s sibling.
MISS ME?
Moriarty leaves us at the end of series three with a question: “MISS ME?”
ACD CANON SIBLING
In ACD canon Moriarty has a brother.
My hand has been forced, however, by the recent letters in which Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother, and I have no choice but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred.
His younger brother is a station master in the west of England.
ELIZABETH
As I have have stalked Elizabeths in Sherlock for a while, I though that the character who identifies herself as E was called Elizabeth.
Somobody confirmed that in the end credits the actress is credited as Elizabeth.
PARALLELS BETWEEN ELIZABETH AND JIM
As you can see in the following meta, both characters have parallels in the way they approach one of the leads:
Hey! The flirting villain!
THIS IS ME
When Elizabeth leaves her phone number, she says:
Identifying herself with the word “me”.
If she was Moriarty’s sister, her reversed initials would be M.E.
This could be a wordplay on MISS M(oriarty) E(lizabeth)?, akin to MISS M(ary) E(lizabeth)?
FAITH
We know from a magazine that the same actress who plays Elizabeth, will be playing a character called Faith in The Lying Detective.
In The Six Thatchers there is this line:
AMBASSADOR: They? Who are they? Seems to me we put an awful lot of faith in they.
If Faith was actually the same character as Elizabeth in disguise, this sentence would fit with both:
Faith being Moriarty’s sibling;
Faith being Elizabeth’s twin or pretending to.
