Are we going to keep doing these rushed arcs that require quite a bit of retconning (such as all the grandmas that weren't featured in the grandma room) or slow down and let the story progress naturally? We could have gotten to Meteora being Eclipsa's offspring and a throne struggle without this stuff, you know.

Your screed is a bit all over the place, but it seems like you think that because we didn’t show all of Star’s grandmas in an 11 minute episode (Into the Wand) that we must have retconned them?

I’m also unclear on what it is you would prefer, but it seems like you must have wanted Into the Wand to be a long, talky walk through the grandma room, where we meet all the grandmas so it makes sense that there are more than the ones we put on screen?

Does your armchair tv producer definition of retcon mean that in order for something not to be retconned it would have to be created before the series even aired somehow? As though there’s some master text of a show to be followed where everything is connected and paid-off before it’s even in production?

That’s bananas! I’d never want to work on that show!We work out a lot of themes beforehand, but Star is written by the people who are making it as it’s being made. It’s a huge crew of people making contributions - this isn’t an excuse this is by design and it’s what I love about the show.

Maybe you don’t like that…I’ve heard The Thorn Birds is really good.
