I'm just curious: any idea where the double doors that swing open to reveal the episode title are supposed to be? I'm just curious what relevance those big wooden doors and flickering torches have to Conan. I'd think that it would be more thematically appropriate to show doors to 221B Baker Street or something.

This is my theory...

I rewatched the 1st few scenes of 1 episode to see if it's actually like that... Before the episode title is shown, the doors open, meaning the case is being opened. I haven't rechecked what actually happens in the middle part of the episode or in case it's two part episodes or when it's a special episode...

I always thought they were a reference to the jet coaster case.....when I thought about it at all. Eh, they look cool. nwn

Isn't it some reference to Holmes or something? I don't know, I always thought it suited the series. I actually didn't really think about it. Maybe it resembles the doors of an English castle? And in ancient times, they used torches (well, there was no electricity, duh). I dunno, the first thing that comes to mind when I see that scene is an old English castle with traps and so on, and some case to be solved (those castles breath out a lot of atmosphere).

I dunno, just my thoughts.

Exactly. But to use it for 550+ cases.. well, it's kinda like a trademark now.

Who knows, maybe the flickering torch on the right side is the boss in disguise. JK.
