I've found both of my children pretty logical about stories. Maybe other children are less fastidious but I don't get that impression.

They were both (at this age) quite happy to accept any set up so long as the story logically flowed from the set up and what they knew about the world. For example, I accidentally persuaded my daughter that I was once turned in to a wtermelon by an Australian wizard. She now tells the Captain to be very sceptical of "Daddies Jokes and Stories, that are Not Real."

The question asking is fun but often I find with the Captain that he asks so many questions that I have no idea what is going on.

What the Captain is finding hardest at the moment is shades of grey in morality. Goodies are goodies and do good things and baddiesare baddiesand do bad things (and badies are usually baddiesbecause their parents didn't love them enough - one of my two stock grundnorms - the other being hydrogen bonds). So he copes well with e.g. the Daleks because they are clearly baddies doing bad things but more ambiguous or conflicted characters are harder to for him to get his head around.

Yeah, flashbacks. I've had some fun with those.
