It's not just that the show kept dropping plot threads. It's also that it periodically seemed to forget or retcon plot threads it was already carrying and write new plots that weren't all that consistent with earlier ones. That can happen with television writing, where writers haven't always seen the entire previous series they're writing for, where only the previous two years of story is officially considered relevant for gauging target audiences, and showrunners can change course on a dime in an even smaller time frame, and the powers-that-be that make the executive decisions may want to retool or discard elements at their whim and instruct the writers accordingly. So for any plot point that wasn't resolved, you may just have to use your imagination, because there's no guarantee at a given point that a production even cares anymore.

So, lacking a definitive answer, what do you think happened to Rockwell? Note there's more than one story continuity version of him: Tyler Rockwell (2012 TV series) and Tyler Rockwell (Amazing Adventures). The latter version appeared in the final page of the final issue of Amazing Adventures, along with fellow, , ,  and , and a  who was very much still alive and was never murdered, wrapping up a story arc (Robotanimals!) where  had been killed off and was never retromutated. I think AA had its own flaws, having even less storytelling time to work with by virtue of being a comic book, but ultimately I better liked how it used that limited storytelling time than how the TV series ended up using theirs.
