1* Moriarty has adapted like a pro to the 22nd century by the time ''Holmes'' hits the scene.
2** And then Holmes proves himself to be even more awesome by adapting ''in less than a month'' to stop Moriarty on the Moon.
3* Wiggins, a mere street kid, manages to impress ''Holmes'' in their first meeting by demonstrating enough astute awareness and historical knowledge to peg Holmes as a FishOutOfTemporalWater, simply by picking apart his choice of clothing and language from a single sentence.
4* Watson gets something of a BigDamnHeroes moment in [=HOUN2=] when he comes riding in on the [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent "hound"]], just in-time for the thing to jump into Moriarty's getaway ship.
5* A [[ChildProdigy little girl]] has New Scotland Yard running in circles and even "deceives the Master of Deceit," as Holmes so poetically puts it.
6* In "The Resident Patient" Moriarty's test of a way to disguise his men not only fools Scotland Yard, but even throws ''Holmes'' off the trail for a moment.
7* In [=SUSS2=], Lestrade ''kicks Moriarty's ionizer out of his hand'', in something of a CallBack to his pulling a similar move on her in [=HOUN2=].
8* Moriarty and the Musgrave Sword. The man can alter ''matter'' with the thing!
9* Holmes crashes a criminal's car into New Scotland Yard... just by bad driving!
10* Moriarty and Holmes both use [[{{Mcguffin}} the Mazarin Chip]] to great effect, but Holmes's command for "Fireworks!" in the climax of the episode tops it all. Consider it a Crowning Episode of Awesome for them both.
11** A crowning moment for the writers as well, taking one of the most reviled Holmes's stories and making it ''awesome'' and [[Funny/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury hilarious.]]
12* When it gets right down to hand-to-hand combat, Holmes ''mops the floor with the larger Moriarty''. [[MusclesAreMeaningless So much for that muscular build!]]
13* Holmes is an 80s-something soul in a 25-year-old body. Clearly, a recipe for pure win.
