It's still a long way to go before "Sherlock" Season 4 turns up to the small screen, but it seems like Moriarty is back in action -- at least for the passengers of a train in Ukraine.

According to Independent, images of Sherlock's nemesis popped up on the television screen in a train in Kyiv, Ukraine. The said photo showed the face of Moriarty (Andrew Scott) together with the lines "Did you miss me?" This exact line is in reference to the ending of "Sherlock" Season 3 when images of Moriarty with the same line appeared after it was believed that he killed himself in "Sherlock" Season 2 finale.

After the said photo surfaced, social media has been abuzz if Moriarty is indeed back. Some speculated that it might be a marketing move from BBC. However, according to Ukranian news outlet Наш Киев, as told by Independent, the image of Moriarty appearing in Kyiv Metro was done by hackers. The case is currently under investigation.

Also, to add fire to the rumors of Moriarty's return, the publication notes that Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), during the recently shown "The Abominable Bride," uttered the line "I never said he was alive. I said he was back," in reference to his nemesis.

Meanwhile, in other "Sherlock" Season 4 news, Latinos Health previously reported that the Molly-Sherlock angle might be coming to the end as Molly will end up with another fellow, Lestrade.

iDigital Times says that even though Molly has shown affection to Sherlock since Season 1, he will find another Sherlock-like character in Lestrade. Sherlock and Lestrade even have the same "eccentric" character and the latter's relationship with Molly is not just a fling.

Rupert Grave, the actor who plays Lestrade, even told Collider in an interview, "I think definitely Lestrade has got the hots for Molly. So maybe they’ll develop that. We don’t know what happens until we see the scripts, and that could literally be a couple of weeks before you film."

“He’s not on the same level as Sherlock, but he’s the best of that lot, and I sort of approach him like that," he added.

What do you think of Molly ending up with another bloke besides Sherlock? Do you think Moriarty will indeed come back for "Sherlock" Season 4? Share your thoughts below!
