      Anyone remember how the bad guy Holmes personally despised most -- apparently even more than Moriarty -- was Charles Augustus Milverton, Britain's most prolific blackmailer Because of the sheer intimate cruelty of it, aimed specifically at women

      And it's when Milverton decides he's going to go ahead and expose one of his victims to make an example of her so he can keep his rates high for the others -- despite how this will destroy her life -- that Holmes decides he absolutely has to take the motherfucker down

      And then the ending of the story is a shaggy dog story! Holmes tries to get his hands on Milverton's file of dox but Milverton actually outsmarts him And then some random woman busts in at that moment and just pulls out a gun and shoots the bastard

      (The same shaggy dog ending as the 2000 film Shaft, where Shaft completely fails to get the racist murderer taken down in court but then the victim's mom just pulls out a gun and murders him in broad daylight and goes "ARREST ME")

      And Sherlock and Watson just let the woman go They're even willing to take the fall for it When Inspector Lestrade asks them about the murder case they're like "Nope can't help you"

      When he's like "The staff saw two suspicious guys on the grounds, one of them was this big guy with a gun" they're like "Oh that could be anybody, come on, Watson is a big guy with a gun" (This, by the way, is strong textual evidence that Movie Watson should look cool/badass)

      Holmes fandom, btw, takes this whole series of events as a hint that what actually happened was when Milverton smugly told Holmes how he'd foiled his plan Watson lost his temper and just pulled out his gun and shot him right there Then made up the lady as legal ass-covering

      ... wait what? I'm in Holmes fandom and I had no knowledge of this theory. People think Watson lied in one of his stories?

      Yeah because the random woman appearing at the climax of The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton is such a deus ex machina otherwise

      I feel like it isn't though! It's what you said — in a story about someone wronging women in such an intimate way, it feels fair for a woman to get to off him. Also Watson doesn't provide the slightest evidence of having lied in his stories, he's not really an unreliable narrator

      True, it's not a theory I particularly like

          Lol where do I find the Holmes theories on the interwebs I love literary fandom theories (e.g. ASOIAF)

          Idk, I picked this one up from TVTropes, but Holmes fandom stuff is very old (The Baker Street Irregulars is one of the oldest "fandom" orgs in the world)
