More thoughts on 'The Diabolical Kind'
Couple of thoughts on the The Diabolical Kind episode of Elementary:
First, apparently I was wrong and the name of Moriarty's daughter is actually Kayden and not Kate.
I'm actually quite fascinated at Moriarty gaining a daughter and in Kayden herself. She has a taste for cutthroat games, and she can be calm in the face of danger.
In everything that Moriarty's done I don't know if her protectiveness over Kayden is love or if her actions were all because of love. It seems more like a possessive kind of anger, and as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
musesfool mentions:
"whether she's property or some sort of eventual leverage, there's definitely possessiveness there, as there is with Sherlock."
This just adds another interesting layer to Moriarty, and doesn't mean she's turned a new leaf, I'm not trusting that sparing Agent Matu was because of Sherlock's influence.
Moriarty made a point to say that she would become a free woman, and not a fugitive, killing Matu when she plans to return will just make her life in incarceration inconvenient. She just needs to bide her time, be patient and lean on the right people and as promised, in a year's time she would be free.
(Also, it seems like her true identity wasn't released to the public so going back to anonymity wouldn't be difficult.)

In a whole other topic: In the same post,rembrandtswife made a comment about Moriarty's purple blouse being similar to Sherlock, and you know what? I just watched the scene with Moriarty and Joan going through the Fuller house, Moriarty has an eerie resemblance to BBC Sherlock, from the coat, to the jacket and the hair.
Visually, its the closest thing to the gender bent BBC Sherlock fics I've seen: In a way in that moment Moriarty and Joan were visually genderbent!BBCSherlock and Joan.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this but it just struck me how visually similar Moriarty is to BBC Sherlock.
