Dr Who is now edging towards being retconned to the point that the Time Lords themselves STOLE from some other race, most likely FEMALE.

And more savaging of our cinematic history from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

So add Star Trek Picard to the list as well.

I'm trying to grasp what is behind all this purposeful retconning of established Sci-Fi lore. Dr. Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Terminator... decades of successful storytelling being overwritten.

WHY?

Is the allure of easy $ just too strong for lazy writers and production companies to pass up? Is the prospect of taking a chance on their own efforts just no longer viable?

Because one after another, these franchises are being destroyed, and it seems no one cares. Instead of making REAL money, these iconic IP's are being cannibalized, in a feeding frenzy of destruction.

Or is there something else going on here.

The pattern is too damn similar, across the industry, to be mere happenstance.

Is it a school of thought, an actual cult mindset? Or is this being directed... by someone pulling strings.

Sinking to lower depths, Batwahman continues to sink and yet gets a 2nd season? Why?

Star Wars - The Rise of Palpatine. Turns out, Rey's dad was a CLONE of dead Sith Lord Palpatine. And not even a viable clone? No idea how that worked out.

Dr. Who - Literally the entire series was destroyed with the latest episode. Fuck you, BBC, Fuck you, Chibbs. Rot in hell forever.

Oh, and Tom Clancy's book - Without Remorse, is coming to the big screen. Yay!
WRONG!! John Clark will be played by... Michael B Jordan.

The retconning of all things white and male continues.

Fuck you woke assholes.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
