It amazes me that Doyle attempted to kill off Holmes in the Final Problem, only to resurface him in Hound of the Baskerviles later.

I love the stories of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Depends on what timeline you follow - the publishing or the Holmes reappearance in the adventures timeline, which would be The Empty House, if I remember right...

[sugarsweetdeath]

@DisneyMagicDreamer85 well doyle wanted to kill of the character and write something else. he brought him back due to public outcry.

[brainofomarion]

Wow! What a fascinating video. Great work! Thanks for sharing!

[steverlfs]

Loved the video- but why was the background music "Asturias"?

[grendeljack]

I think that it's apparent that Doyle COULD have become Moriarty, but the creation of Holmes saved him. And the world around him from his inner Moriarty. And the world beyond him by virtue of inspiration. Modern detective work is founded upon scientific process made popular by Holmes.

[xxVampiixx]

pero por supuesto que tienes razòn!...i totally agree with you!!

[BrigadierN]

...maybe, if Doyle had been a mathematical-criminal genius

[Pagali24]

O. k. he becomed a spiritualist... excuse me but, what's so wrong with that? I mean you can call it silly, ridiculous, but not evil. Spiritualists ARE NOT satanists or something. I've readed some very critical books about that. Those whole spiritualism thing is pretty weird (and a bit creepy in some cases) but (oh boring, I say it again)not evil or destructive in any way. They belive in mental mediums, in ghosts and fairies.

We get the character 'Sherlock' from Doyle, and his experiences with Dr. Bell.

Watson's character could arguably have been Doyle's guilt, alleviating his vices (which might include some of Sherlock's), and jealousy. He obviously had intelligence.

Doyle went into spiritualism after the deaths of those very close to him, including his wife, brother and son. Was he a fool? Maybe, but that was how he dealt with the depression caused by the deaths of his loved ones.

[bookishmuch]

YEAH, ya think? He lost: wife, brother, two brothers-in-law whom he was close to, two sons, two nephews. all of these losses except the wife were results of WWI, which he wasn't allowed to fight in on account of his health. he wasn't evil, he was desperate and in despair, and he just went down the wrong path. I think god will forgive him.

[13thfloor7]

I hope he asked forgiveness and repented before he dies because if he didn't God can't forgive him even if God wanted to.

[Methadone4Life]

There is NO GOD!

[spuzzdawg]

you believe that god is omnipotent whilst simultaneously powerless - well done...

[Vitruvialypto]

hahaha you have a very bad picture of God then... so you think God aint allmighty?.. typical christianity..

[litheshadow]

Doyle always wanted to be a Holmes, however. And in some supernatural way, he succeeded.

[mrgraystone]

Agreed than Doyle is no Holmes. But the Crandons are more of a threat than Doyle who is merely a fool.

[professormesmeri]

Sir Doyle is much more like our Moriarty than he is a Holmes.
