Behind the book with Crimespree Mag

 

Where I blame it all on Doyle:

"There wasn’t supposed to be a third book. I mean, a second Sherlock Holmes book made sense, because I had already written it, lo these many years ago, as a screenplay. So my second book actually inspired my first one. that was alright. That was cool."

Slippery Characters

 

"Maybe self was a free variable with no bounded value. --Michael Chabon,  Moonglow.

And there's my problem with creating characters. A character has to be consistent; people do not. The creating of character is always a reductionist act. We can strive to create three-dimensional characters. We cannot create n-dimensional characters.

Troping in the dark

 

In other words, your trope may smell funny, but if it's not past its due date, it's probably okay. I guess.
