I have come to the conclusion after following a rather bizzare argument, that I hate the concept of a retcon. I will admit that I find just about everyone's comments quite facinating and enlightening, but the initiator is starting to remind me of various Star Trek trolls that I have come across in my various wanderings. I will never understand the people who sit there with the guidebooks open on their laps spouting:

"Yes, but episode 42 of season four's comic adaptation says that ..."

And then, when you point out that their interpretation is not quite right, they spit out the word: "RETCON".

I hated retcons when I ran the Ottawa Vampire LARP and I hate them now. Why can't we just live with the past canon that has been created and stop trying to create new canon to tie all the old canon together -- Gee? Could I have said cann any more times?

Well, I think that I will tie a string around my finger to remind me to keep out of the rest of this discussion. THere are others who are far better at proving their points than I, and I have the feeling that I may devolve into just calling people names. SO best I stay out of it ... no matter how dumb I think some comments might be.

I'm impressed and amazed that while heated and intense, the whole thing has remained civil and hasn't degenerated into something else.

But you are right. If he did say that, it would change the entire tone of his posts. But currently, he sounds offended we haven't taken him as the gospel truth of TFs.

Glad someone is enjoying the show. I'm only reading other people's posts on it now and then only skimming.
