#12. Moriarty

Nigel from The Nanny!

Okay, Moriarty. A two-episode character who features in some very quality holodeck Data episodes. I quite enjoyed the Season 2 outing of Data, LaForge, and somehow Pulaski into a simple mystery story. Moriarty wasn't brilliant, but I appreciated the role he played as instructed to be able to best Data. Though Lore was featured as the anti-thesis to an emotionless machine, the chaos to Data's lawful logic, Moriarty's disruption of known factors and the spirit of his conception and role brought a nice art to task Data with figuring out this mystery. His second episode was even better, factoring in a really solid and tricky holodeck program that, while solved with something as stupid as left-hand versus right-hand, was quite an excellent adventure, and probably the first outing of Barclay's where I enjoyed his character. Moriarity ranks this (relatively) high based on going two-for-two in episode quality. Though I may have liked to have seen a third entry from him, I really enjoyed how both his episodes went and the ending for "Ship in a Bottle" was quite excellent.
