Moriarty: The Phoenix Arises from the Ashes?

                                         
Contains some Series 3 SPOILERS

In The Reichenbach Fall Moriarty (Andrew Scott) mentions "all the king's men" not being able to put Humpty together again.  Looking back or forward, could this have been some sort of reference to His Last Vow and the appearance of Moriarty once more if indeed he is alive.  You know Mycroft (Mark Gattis) is a King's man, or rather Queen's man, working for the country and so is this some ingenious way of his to bring Moriarty back, was he ever dead, was Rich Brook the one who actually killed himself and not Moriarty since in Sherlock's mind palace, Moriarty appears to him in chains, Sherlock foreshadowing his return perhaps, especially since Moriarty was in chains, if he's dead why would he be chained up in Sherlock's mind palace.  Then there was the line of feeling pain and he feels it all the time, but the key is not to fear pain.
Also Sherlock utters, "I can kill Rich Brook and bring back Moriarty," what sort of an allusion or foreshadowing was this implying?

But is he really dead in which case I'm afraid my little blog piece on Moriarty becomes redundant...

At least I can take solace in having mentioned some twist in the show by which case they can bring him back, indeed if he is back and wasn't the result of machinations on the part of Mycroft to enable Sherlock to return to London and his home!  Then again anyone could have put up his image, even Sherlock himself even if that sounds a bit dastardly.

Then again Steven Moffat and Mark Gattis have both said int he past that Moriarty is dead and won't be back, however they then added, more recently, Moriarty's return, "is not a last minute whim" and was discussed quite a while ago.

In my review of 2.3 The Reichenbach Fall in August 2013 here:

see here I have mentioned "be careful what you wish for" just as Sherlock says this to John in 3.1 The Empty Hearse when John thinks they're on their last legs!  Hmm I must have some kind of ESP or knack for predicting Sherlock scripts, ha.

Mycroft's line to Sherlock in 2.1 A Scandal in Belgravia, "all lives end...all hearts are broken..."  and in His Last Vow he tells Sherlock of being heartbroken if he dies after he talks of the east wind coming.  To which Sherlock replies, "how the hell am I supposed to respond to that?"  Didn't realize there was so much overlap in these scripts all referring to different sentiments and storylines of course, but still connected in some ways since it's Sherlock, who is after all the common strand running through everything.

Well Moriarty seems like we'll catch ya laters!
