That means that every seasonal story arc is really just compounding the muddle of things that should have been impossible in the last story arc. Eventually, in order to get anything close to resembling a linear view of the story, you have to do twenty leaps of logic in your head before you realize why things are now the way they are, even after stuff gets rebooted. In the most abhorrent cases, it requires you to have intimate knowledge with all the nuances associated with nineteen of the twenty leaps before a basic element of the story comes close to making sense.

Sure Sherlock can keep going from where it is - until they attempt to explain why he survived. That's where Steven always falls apart, imo. His stories are the clever as hell with twists that throw your brain for a loop and all seem to be building up to some genius conclusion. In his best stories, this conclusion is genius. In his worst, Sherlock shoots a dude because he can't think of anything better to do. :/

I slumped back in my chair with my mouth gaping pretty open at that. Then I jumped up and down in my seat like a child with Stockholm syndrome directed towards his abusive father Oh okay. :/

Hah. I can't wait to see how they try to explain that one away. Yeah I couldn't agree more. I thin kthat particular instance was one where they tried to show that even Sherlock can run out of genius ideas but your point still holds - he's Sherlock, surely he could've come up with something.

xD I just kinda was like "wat how pls no idontgetit I WATCHED HIS BRAINS GET EXPLODED OUT D:< grrr that better have been a prerecorded message or something" Although I would be lying if I said that I didn't think he died a little too easily.
