Banned for discriminating against atheists.
Banned because no one seems to have the 'nads to do some ban-bitching about this so-called retroactive continuity shyte.
My Public Enemy Number One is J.J. Abrams, on account of his 'new' Star Trek flick having a disaster-movie-worthy conflation of good casting and occasionally snappy dialog with a perfectly ridiculous plot based on a pathetically horrific 'revision' of Roddenberryland.
Sometimes retcons are inevitable and useful to just fix plot holes or technical inadequacies: the 2001 sequels had some premises slightly altered as space research revealed new information about other planets, and Metroid fixed some of the Engrish that resulted in nonsensical canon from the first game. But if you're going to try to retcon
plot, 1) make sure you are taking something bad and making it good, not the other way around, and 2) have the brains to do what I do and completely twist everything backwards while remaining WITHIN the strictures of factual canon.
