WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL OFF ALISTAIR?!?! :(((((((

I'm thinking actor availability and also we need some reason for the dramatic season finale where Sherlock uses again. That's not a spoiler by the way, just a guess.

I disagree. Given the screen time he got, they could have had Sherlock get a call receiving news of Alistair relapsing, with him in the hospital, and then (if they still wanted to) have Alistair die at the end with Sherlock at his side. It would have accomplished the same goal.

I just think it's a shame. Alistair was an interesting character.

the dramatic season finale where Sherlock uses again Huh, that's interesting. I hadn't thought of that. At the beginning of the season I suspected some major showdown with Moriarty and/or Mycroft, but your guess seems much more likely now.

Yeah, I totally think Sherlock will either use or come very very close to using. My theory is that his sponsoree does a nose dive and overdoses because Sherlock blows him off for a case and Sherlock turns back to the junk in response.
