The reason continuity is a problem is because of Project Freelancer becoming a serious part of the plot. BGC was a comedy series, so we didn't have to explain every little thing that happened. When PF came along, the story changed so things had to be taken seriously. So now they have to explain all the the things that weren't taken seriously before. And as it turns out, even some of the serious things, too.
