About cancer arc/liberty ride timeline

I don't know if I can I ask this here, so... Does anyone know how much time passed between Brian kicking Justin out after the cancer 'thing' and the liberty Ride?

Explanations found!

The timeline of QAF is very iffy. They have dates mentioned in season 1 and in season 5 that directly contradict each other, the way the seasons passed during Mel's pregnancy would make her pregnant for nearly a year, etc. However, I did attempt to put things on a calendar in a way that would make sense for the narrative, ie if Brian mentioned something from last episode happening last week I put the eps a week apart and I kept school years and pregnancy to a realistic time frame too.

You can see my complete calendar here: http://dhrachth.livejournal.com/8812.html

I figure about 10-12 weeks between Brian kicking Justin out and the Liberty ride.

I agree with dhrachth - you need a lot of phantasy to make the QAF timeline make sense....

About ten weeks between kicking Justin out and going on the Liberty Ride seem right though. (I wrote out a timeline a while ago, if you want to see how I got there: http://darla-isabelle.livejournal.com/2299.html#cutid1)

Forget trying to get a timeline. When we get to S4, it's so jacked up that it's anyone's guess.

Think about how long chemo/radiation treatments go. I would say 6 weeks. so approx 6 weeks between 408 and 410.

After that, I'd say 2 months before the Liberty Ride. 411 is the fundraiser episode. 412 is the guys working out in spin class. Then 413-414 is the Liberty Ride. Also Mel was put on bed rest I think in 412. Usually that happens around the last month or so of a pregnancy.

The episode where Brian gets diagnosed and Deb goes nuts over
giving Vic a Christmas Party is February. Deb is wearing a
Valentine's Day tee shirt and Emmett says clearly that it's
February.

It's snowing when they return from Toronto. That a very late
snowfall, but it could be April. Maybe. Possibly. Not likely,
but...

Any timeline after Season 1 is problematic. You just have to
close your eyes and pretend it doesn't matter.

They filmed in Toronto, as you know. In higher elevations, it can snow in June. I lived in Oregon for 12 years, and spent 6 months in the mountains. It snowed on the 11th of June. So it's possible that it was late April or early May.

would you mind editing your subject line from Question to something a little more specific, such as Question about S4 continuity or cancer arc/liberty ride timeline, please? Thanks!
