Sorry - I didn't mean to. I just tried to find an excuse for my own thickness. :)
Reading Joss's comics feels a bit like that. He's operating on a higher plane than the rest of us, and storylines and plot developments that probably seem perfectly clear and straightforward to him are baffling to us ordinary mortals.
OTOH, in the first arc, The Long Way Home, Joss' secrets were too easy to figure out. The lipgloss clue was so obvious it was hard to believe that the solution was so simple.
Maybe it's the combination of two factors - crossover stuff and time-travel (which, frankly, never makes much sense) - that makes this arc so hard to figure out.
In other words, what he needs is a beta reader. :-)
