One saving grace of the later seasons is that good scenes like this one can be watched with no context at all, separated from the rest of the episode, and they still work just fine.

I think this is what the show is aiming for. Scenes that can be watched without context, so the horrific lack of continuity or character consistency don't register. They can just churn out variations on a theme year after year.
