Somebody's conducting an investigation — and every little bit of information could be the break they need. Red Herrings are flying left and right, and they need to get everything organized. What better way to do it than with a pegboard (or an entire room) covered in pictures of people, maps of places, and cryptic hints? Often the items are related, and these relationships are expressed by a complex web of strings connecting pairs of items; thus the name. An example of The Law of Conservation of Detail, as almost invariably every single item will be plot relevant — although it's not always clear whether it was all planned out meticulously in advance, or whether the writer decided to use the various random items on the board as jumping off points for future episodes. Fans will naturally drive themselves crazy trying to figure out the relevance of every item. Don't stare at it too long, though. The Reveal might uncover its existence, often with musical accompaniment while the camera pans along all the threads. This can show the audience that someone knows much more than it appeared, or how driven they are to expose The Syndicate, or how intimidating the Nebulous Evil Organization really is, or simply that they're nuts. Used sometimes in a Relationship Chart. May contain a Serial Crime Map. Subtrope of Room Full of Crazy. Often the tool of a Conspiracy Theorist. Not to be confused with the webcomic, a fanfic in a different fandom by the same name, or actual particle physics. |

| String Theory / int_26ac510e | comment |
In "The Red Team", Holmes is compiling one about Moriarty after tearing down the one he made about Moran. The book-canon description of Moriarty as "a spider at the centre of a web" makes these almost inevitable. For some reason, it also includes a picture of Napoléon Bonaparte. | |

Snorpy has one set up in his cabin in Sugarpine Woods in Bugsnax. When you scan it with your SnakScan, he comments that it would be bigger if he hadn't run out of red string. | |

Dwayne "King" Pride has one in his private room when obsessively looking for Mad Midnight Bomber Baitfish. It gets referred to as "the wall of crazy you got going on upstairs". Later, Conspiracy Theorist Sebastian has this conversation: | |

Played for Laughs | |
| String Theory / int_762b9223 | comment |
Sherlock does this a lot later in the series. One time it's Played for Laughs as the local Anonymous Expy asks him to write an essay on why Bella should have hooked up with Jacob instead of Edward. After putting it all on the board he comes to the conclusion that all three should have been together. | |

Thinking Out Loud | |
| String Theory / int_af81576b | comment |
Sam and Dean occasionally put these up in their motel rooms, which seems like a lot of effort for something you're going to have to take down in a few days. For a certain kind of visual/tactile learner, this probably works as a form of Thinking Out Loud, as well as playing into the old school sensibilities the brothers picked up from their dad. Tearing it down and breaking it apart at the end of a case is also probably pretty satisfying. | |
