Is it a retcon or a transition? I always saw it as the latter.
I was taught the latter. Like, once we reached NT times, God didn't have to be such a hardass anymore. (I'm paraphrasing.)
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that was kind of my take.

You Boston people are scaring me. But we're still scheduled for 79 (glorious 79) and storms tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, I am all dilemma-fied!
I KNOW! I can't believe that anyone would actually think that Chilltown isn't a threat, (but Janelle doesn't seem to be thinking with her head on this one), but she's right that if the floaters got together, they would be the largest alliance.
Next week should be FUN!

"Retcon" seemed funnier.
This whole conversation has made me want to reread To Reign In Hell. Which is annoying, since that reminds me that I lost my copy a couple years back.

Yeah, Lee, that's the thing. Good times.

Oh, that.
Fuck it, I'm leaving. Why stay and not-work when no one is here to see it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It has been reprinted. Which you might know, but just in case you didn't. I read it in university, loved it to pieces, but couldn't find a copy for my own until fairly recently.
Someone make me frame my requests of release management, will you?
