Sun-Day!

TWH down to four for the evening, with a brief visit from a fifth and a perfectly-timed text message from our hero.

The main NPC victim of circumstance is to be retconned rather thoroughly in writeup. Which I might get to soon, since a large minority of the group missed it and this one has to be seen to be disbelieved.

And when you do see it, please remember that it was Stuart and Lucy's fault.

Someone was clearly depressed at the Doctors' jukebox, judging by Coldplay being followed by Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah followed by an incoherently-bleak version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow...

The Superbowl with some guys I haven't seen in ages. Wasn't a very good game due to some wonky calls and some high school levels of pass completion, but it was a good social hanging-out event.

Me neither, we created a much more meaningful NPC encounter than planned right? And maybe it was a deep insight into the state of Matthew's mind and the examples of popular culture in our society today...

Now I'll always wonder...

Gah! What happened?!?!? What does "retconned" mean? Is Matthew still a virgin? :o>

Some... stuff. I'll tell ya as and when. Currently pausing at an ad break in 3.22, may start typing this up afterwards.

"Retconned" is the past tense of "retcon", a fandom verb/noun contracted from "retroactive continuity", where a "fact" about the past is altered for the sake of the current storyline. i.e. "originally Milli went to the Watchers' Academy but we retconned it so she was home schooled."

I couldn't possibly comment. (But barg could, and has.)

And technically we took an already existing NPC and made them SO much more, plus dave and doug were an integral part of the process.

Retcons, eh?
