Personally, I'm imagining Benedict Cumberbatch as the Doctor...
Yeah, could definitely work... But I'm rooting for either Benedict Cumberbatch as The Master or as The Valeyard. But seriously, I can definitely see Matt Smith as Moriarty. Would have been very different, but still awesome.
Would love to bring the Valeyard back with Cumberbatch.
You guys know Matt Smith read for John? Totally didn't work, especially against Benedict, but if they hadn't already cast Sherlock, Smith would have been put in the running.
Fresh-eyed movie blogWasn't it running for the role of John that brought Matt Smith to Steven Moffat's attention in the first place?
And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)Why is Mycroft considered Brilliant, but Lazy? Are people really insinuating that essentially running the ENTIRE BRITISH GOVERNMENT from behind the scenes is somehow not hard work?
What?
That's something. Mycroft is supposed to be about as smart as Sherlock, right? (I've actually heard that he's even SMARTER) I'd like to see more displays of this supposed intelligence next season.
"Contests fought between two masters are decided instantly. An invisible battle is now raging between the two of them." Lulu vs SchneizelHow often do you see Mycroft going out and doing anything more than making a personal appearance? It's investigating he can't stand. Usually he sits in his office and sends orders.
Fresh-eyed movie blogThat's deduction.
Induction is starting with your conclusion and then putting the pieces together to fit. Which is where Mycroft definitely outshines Sherlock in both capacity and resources.

I don't think he'll go completely balls out evil, it's been established that he cares too much about Sherlock.
HOWEVER, I think there could be an episode or two were he slips into Knight Templar Big Brother mode and decides to go to extreme (and awesome) lengths to keep Sherlock away from a case/event that he doesn't want him to be a part of.
Holmes vs Holmes is certainly an interesting prospect, and I'd be dissapointed if Moffat didn't take advantage of it (especially now that Sherlock's only mental rivals are either dead as shit or in love with him)

Nope, induction is starting with knowledge of particulars to formulate general rules (science), whereas deduction is starting with general principles to arrive at knowledge of particulars (classic forensics).
Actually forensics has become far more inductive over the last couple of decades, which is a good thing: with deductive reasoning it's very easy to trick yourself into a false sense of certainty: if your reasoning is valid, your conclusions should be true. That doesn't mean they apply to the situation you're studying, though. Rely on evidence, distrust proof.

Yeah. Most people call what Sherlock does "deducing", because that's what it's referred to in the novels. It is actually inducing, going from specific details to a general conclusion. "Watson has very good posture and a cropped short hairstyle, therefore he must have been in the military."
