inquiry to timeline questions

[crazyevildru.livejournal.com]

 hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has really sat down and tried to put the entire series on a real life time line to figure out when holidays or other major events happened in the series. I'm just trying to figure out where approximately valentine's day would have been in season 3 and I'm thinking over those episodes and it seems to me the entire season took place during winter and/or fall because I think they were always wearing jackets...

does anyone know where I can see a visual calendar or time line of all the episodes and where they fell? 


TIMELINES POSTED in comments as well as interesting conversation about birthdays and debates on timelines

************************************
Season 4
Time between episode 314 and 401 = 3 days

Episode 402 – Brian is $100.000 in debt and asked no one to help him.

Episode 402 – The gay bashers are nabbed: Thursday October 9, 2003 – (19’08’’ Debbie handed the news to Mel.)

Episode 405 - Justin explain to Cody he was bashed and had almost 6 months rehab.
Justin to Hobbs : For bashing me.  For causing me Brian damage and permanent injury.  For giving me nightmares every night for two years.  For filling me with fear every time I walk out the door.  For treating me like a subhuman who doesn't deserve to live.

Episode 407 – Emmett Told Debbie he went to bed they were in February!!!! 2004

Episode 409 – Debbie on Vic’s Grave – Date of Vic’s Death : 2004

Episode 414 –  Time from 314 to 414 = 6 months!

I found that quiet impossible : 6 months and deal with Vic's death, Brian's cancer... the decision for Justin to go to Hollywood.

************************************
Season 5

Episode 501 : time between episode 414 and episode 501 : 6 months.  (Justin said he was only gone 6 months and a lot of things have changed)

Time between 301 : 501 2 years - Why? In 301 Mel and Linds had their 8 years anniversary – 501 they should party for their 10 years together.

Episode 503 : During the sex session – Brian said 4 weeks, Justin 4 years

Episode 507 : Brian told Michael : "...no one plays dewey eye innocent better than you. Although at 34 you're getting a little long in the tooth for short pants..."
Michael is 34,

Episode 510 - 01:26 : Help stop proposition 14 / Benefit Concert/ Thursday march 10th or 17th 2005 - I can't see the date clearly

That's also the moment Michael said to Ben that not even a year ago, we get married in Canada.

Brian is cancer free, and told Ted he is going to Australia for Mardi-Gras in Sydney, I made some research and find out that this day is the same every where and it take place the February 08th 2005
In 2005 the Mardi-Gras in Sydney ran from Feb 4 and finished with the Parade on 5th March.

Brian will be there in 48h – he will celebrate Mardi Gras in Sydney!! – we are 2 days before the Benefit Concert.

After the bombing, the contractor told Ted that Babylon will cost $100.000 and 4-6 weeks work to rebuilt it.
We can suppose: police investigations one/ two weeks
If Babylon explodes the 10th March, 2-week investigation: 24th March

According 6 weeks, because is always more than less 5th may 2005.

Episode 513 – Reopening coat+hat (relatively cold).

************************************
Thanks to suzvoy who found out : RSVP 1th April 2005 – Commitment 16 April 2005
Present on the rehearsal diner : Daphne, Jennifer & Tuck, Debbie & Carl, Mel & Linds, Ben & Michael, Ted & Emmett.

When did Justin leave? According to the fact that it's snowing during the love scene in 513 – I made some research for the last snowfalls in Pittsburgh and found this: 23-25 April 2005. With suzvoy's information it's perfect because the other snow falls were the 02-03 April.

Oh, wow, thanks for posting the timeline; looks like it was quite a lot of work! I bet this is going to be a great help for all of us who write fiction!

Except if Michael had his 30th birthday party right before
December 2000 (say late Novemeber), he should be 35 in 307.
Ted was also 33 in that same episode, while Brian doesn't
turn 30 until the spring of 2001. Ted is then 39 in 2005,
at the end of S5, according to Brian -- who has seen Ted's
paperwork, since he's his boss.

I always went for the 39 in 2005. not for the other possibility. For me Ted was always the 'elder' from the band.

and I think Michael bday wasn't far away from 507! don't you think.

Like a lot of people said: you have to create your own timeline.

I know mine isn't the best at all... **grins**
