Re: So what's the deal with fandom X?

[(Anonymous)]

That's a good explanation, with dates and everything!

I think a lot of people assume Watson remarried later in life at some point after Holmes returned, and the existence of a second wife makes up for some of the inconsistencies.

The main thing, like you said, is to keep in mind that the stories were not written in the order they occurred and many are written as Watson reminiscing about things that happened years before. Also, Doyle couldn't even be botheted to keep track of where Watson was injured in Afganistan from one story to the next, so we really shouldn't be surprised that he didn't keep the facts of Watson's marriage straight over his entire writing career.

Re: So what's the deal with fandom X?

This is definitely true, but it also brings up another point - a lot of the reason there's so much focus on Watson's wife is because of the Sherlockian game of trying to square everything in the stories together with the conceit that they were actually written by John Watson. These inconsistencies don't matter in themselves, but if you're trying to make everything fit together, you can spend quite a lot of time on minor details like these.
