WOW!
I...am stunned.
Why didn't they tell us about this before now? Not even any hints before now...how cruel!
Oh well...I'm happy now.
I'm not sure I get the premise - "new government" and "branded traitors"? Alos, I am wondering just how 'throwing away anything Byrne didn't do or say' is going to work in actuality; does this mean they are goning to pick and choose what they want for ther characters' past? We already know Puck has been referenced in interviews as having a demon in him, and we know Mac and Heather have a baby, and JB did neither of these things...
Huh...guess it is "wait and see" time again.
