Gatiss' writing was fine, if a bit gimmicky, until he got bitten by the keep-it-moving-at-100kph-so-they-won't-notice-the-gaping-plot-holes writing bug that's infected Moffat since forever. And arguably, he was the closest to Canon of all of three of the BBC Sherlock writers. Until he decided to write to the Tumblr fandom. Then he wasn't.

As one of teh creators of the show, I'm sure that he and Moffat discuss plots and characterization, I doubt the episodes are created independently.

...I don't disagree? I mean, that's what AIRT I was responding to said...I agree, and I think this is why the show has gotten even worse.

I can just imagine those conversations about "plot."

"And this happens!"

"Then that happens!"

"Let's have this happen!"

"Better throw in a story title to appease the Sherlockians."

"Right, but at least we can amuse ourselves with a stupid pun at those bespectacled book-readers' expense."

"Wait, so what are we going to do with all of these loose plot threads?"

"Forget it, we won't have time to tie up any loose ends, and the proles are too stupid, anyway. They're going to be squealing and fangirling over all the things we've put in, plot is the last thing they even have the brain capacity to follow, never mind appreciate."

"You're absolutely right! Chekhov's gun is so passe. Squeeing."

"Eh?"

"You said squealing. It's squeeing."

"Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to."

"Right."
