The thing with retcons is that the author tends to get an idea which makes them want to go back over their story and redo or tweak the whole thing again, that's what's happened here… well sort off. Banes had some more ideas on the subject that he wanted to share, so we dove into the whole thing again! We were helped by a Websnark article on the subject linked to us by Kam in a comment on the last retcon Quackcast. It's a useful guide, breaking down the different kinds of retcon into five types:
Category One: Now Revealed! A Lost Tale of the Hero!
Category Two: The Story You Thought You Knew!
Category Three: The Real Story You Thought You Knew!
Category Four: The Story You Thought You Knew Was Right, But Now There's Been A Change!
Category Five: Meet the New Hero, Not The Same As The Old Hero Because That Never Happened!
In this Quackcast we expand upon those concepts.

Gunwallace's theme for the week was for Lego Space - It’s Block time! The sound here brings to mind the techno-mechanistic world of Lego, and especially the bright and glittering transparent blocky world of SPACE lego, vectors, angles, and joins!
