To add to the discussion, most of the 'retcons' have not changed any established facts, though there have been a couple that did alter what we thought we know. They have either filled in gaps that were previously unknown, or provided additional detail that is not contradictory to what had already been revealed.

And this show is 'believe what they say until shown otherwise', just like any show. It's just  we have a strong user base here with a heavy dose of cynicism, and most of them must be from Missouri (the 'Show Me' State for those that don't understand the reference). Now, with Brennan Jones, I think they stretched reality beyond it's limits, and I was not sold on that story. But that was, in my opinion, clearly an exception and not the rule.

I'm not necessarily sold on the idea of finding out more about David's father, but then again, since we don't know ALL the details (apparantly) there may be something of interest in the missing details. And given the story telling abilities, I'm willing to see where the story takes us. I usually get at least a good dose of entertainment from the story.
