This evening we have gone from 'is Moriarty a nihilist?' to 'decomposition of bodies in moving water' so that's nice.
Also "most dangerous criminal" my arse. The only real reason Moriarty is 'dangerous' is because he's a threat to the established order of things and those who are profiting from that established order are getting scared. (It really does sort of... boggle my mind though that in that era someone like Moriarty could seriously be seen as so threatening and so dangerous when like... people were still dying from poverty and starvation and disease and down mines and in factories from toxic chemicals or dangerous machinery or being killed digging out the railways or crushed by trains or all the countless other ways people died then, or if they weren't killed they were often horribly maimed, deaths and injuries which were often totally avoidable or preventable but capitalism dictated that things like 'people deserve enough to eat yes even if they're poor and/or disabled' and 'health and safety' and 'maybe we should actually give some compensation to the families of those who died working for us' were ideas that shouldn't exist because profits were more important than anything. There were for example people with half their faces rotting away from inhaling white phosphorous in the workplace and it took years for anyone with power to do anything about this but yes do tell me how this dude who's planned a few crimes most if not all of which let's be real are going to be solely against very wealthy privileged people is the real monster)
"Any attempt at recovering the bodies was absolutely hopeless"
No it wasn't? Either people couldn't be bothered to look because, I don't know, they were english and the locals didn't really give a shit about searching for some english prats who fell over the waterfall or something or you got fobbed off because someone didn't want anyone looking for bodies that weren't there to be found.
"and there, deep down in that dreadful cauldron of swirling water and seething foam, will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and the foremost champion of the law of their generation"
Watson you are a doctor who has also worked with a detective! You must know that bodies can a/ decompose and b/ float in moving water even if you forgot the waterfall isn't always that strong (though it isn't).No it wasn't? Either people couldn't be bothered to look because, I don't know, they were english and the locals didn't really give a shit about searching for some english prats who fell over the waterfall or something or you got fobbed off because someone didn't want anyone looking for bodies that weren't there to be found.
