[QUOTE=Skeezycheeses;114630]retcon
/ret'kon/ retroactive continuity. The common situation in fiction where a new story "reveals" things about events in previous stories, usually leaving the "facts" the same (thus preserving continuity) while completely changing their interpretation. For example, revealing that a whole season of "Dallas" was a dream was a retcon. This term was once thought to have originated on the Usenet newsgroup news:rec.arts.comics but is now believed to have been used earlier in comic fandom. [Jargon File] (1994-12-08) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/retconQUOTE] Ret-con is also the name of the drug Torchwood team members give to innocent and not so innocent bystanders to forget the horrific things they just witnessed. And welcome Skeezy! |
