That sounds good. It was still cold, because to could see puffs of breath from the characters. No snow, though, so maybe March. But, then again, when Mel and Linds take off for Canada, there's snow on the ground. I usually try to guage by what coat Brian's wearing. He had on his short leather that night, but the next night, the night of the vigil, he was wearing his heavier brown one, with the fur collar, and Justin was wearing a parka. Oh, and when he and Justin went to the house, there was snow again. Remember, this is western Pennsylvania, and the snow can last til April. The cold, as well. I grew up back east, in DC, and it usually didn't start to warm up til late April/early May most times.

So, let's go with February.

I'll leave it vague, but at least nothing is going to SCREAM impossibility. I mean, who do you think I am, CowLip?

Dude. "Plans" is rapidly becoming, like, my BIBLE of "what happened after 5.13". At this point, I would believe you if you said that the bombing happened during a hurricane. In Tahiti.In the year 2047. Write whatever you want! Haha. (Friended you, by the way. Hope that you don't mind!)

I love you very very much.

(Friended you, by the way. Hope that you don't mind!)

See note above.

Hey!!! You didn't tell ME you loved me...today...Pfft.

Hey!!! You didn't tell ME you loved me...today...Pfft.

YOU didn't tell me to write whatever I wanted. YOU threatened me, in fact.

Pfft!

Oh, for...

Write whatever you want. Long as it has tons of hawt butt secks!!!

K? *tackles and snogs*

Write whatever you want. Long as it has tons of hawt butt secks!!!

Oh well in that case, I really really love you.

You're asking about cowlip's wacky timeline? I'm really not sure that there's a way to tell....although at the bombing, everyone's wearing heavy jackets or wrapped in blankets after....I say just make it whenever you need it to be.

Ditto--Remember this is C/L's berserk set of months. Summer ceased to exist in Pittsburgh after the beginning of S2. There's been snow on the ground, or at the very least breath that shows from the cold, ever since. Pittsburgh can get snow into early April so have fun with your timeline--it works.

HEY! Are you home...if so how was the training...if not, hee. how's the training going?

I have one more day.

My sis in law is from Pittsburgh. She went back to visit and I almost said to her, "All I know about Pittsburgh is, it's always winter." Of course she'd have never gotten it, she's never seen QAF.

I think the Pride ep was the last one that truly looked like a summer scene. LOL

You noticed that, too?? About how there was no summer after S2? Specifically Pride Weekend. After that, it was friggin snow and cold the rest of the run. Made me think that they got cheaper filming rates by doing it in the fall/winter, cause Canada is cold, but DAY-YAM!!!! Not all the friggin time!!

It started to seem silly. I wonder if C/L realizes that these bizarre things were noticed by their audience.

Makes you wanna sign up to be continuity for some production groups, doesn't it?

Definitely!

Oh, you went to the Vamphile School of Dramatic Ethical Accomodation!

um...elections are in november...aren't they... like ALL elections... did i miss something?

so i'm thinking um...

i suck at season five timeline but i always figured elections november and end of season five in feb/march... because there was still snow and it was cold and blah blah blah.

so i think justin went to NY in early march and then you can go (almost) anywhere from there.

but again, with cowlip...you can't fucking tell

and with western PA...snow in april isn't unheard of and melanie was pregnant for like a year...

so make it whenever the fuck you want and it will work but the election thing... arent' they all in november?

Here in CA we have them in June. Also sometimes in April, although they are usually local. And national elections are in November.

Fuck it, I'm just going to do what I want. Like you said, Melanie was pregnant for a year, minimum. It's impossible to figure it out. I just didn't want to do something that was impossible. Cuz that would be way too Cowlippian.

i understand the not wanting to do something impossible.

so just say that it was somwhere between feb and april when justin left for NY.

Brian was on his way to Gay Mardis Gras in Australia. Mardi Gras was February 8, 2005. Of course, I have no idea if gay Australia celebrates it at the same time & some of the celebrations go on for a few weeks. Ted told Brian what the estimate was to re-open Bablyon. I think it was 6-8 weeks. Construction jobs usually run over schedule, so I think you are safe assuming Bablyon opened April-ish.

Sydney Mardis Gras was actually March 5th 2005. I'm sure it was the Sydney one that Brian was going to!

Yeah I was gonna say Mardi Gras is in like February or something isn't it? Not that C/L ever made any sense with their timeline anyway...

although that would fit cuz it would be freezing in FEB in Pittsburg ... which we saw at the vigil...SUN

I remember the Australian trick telling all the places to go. Was that in Sydney? I guess I'll have to watch that part again!

I think you're about right... I'd say the bombing was about mid-March. So that would be about 9-months from the bombing until Christmas, so 8 months is completely fine. =) As far as when it reopened, I think you can write that however you want. (Hell, you write it ALL however you want!)

Can't wait!

I think the timeline you are playing with works. On QAF it virtually always seems to be winter judging by the weather.

As long as its sounds reasonable go with it. For a show that said Ted's birthday was in August and then had him celebrating it at a ski resort in the winter, I think your reasoning would be much better.

Yeah, but I try to hold myself to a higher standard than, you know, CowLip. ;)

Maybe this can help. Some (spoilery) caps of 512, among which is a cap of the invitation to their wedding. Apparently it was supposed to take place on April 16th. The RSVP is by April 1st, so ep512 takes place before that.

I just checked the calendar and mg parade & party was March 4th - Saturday night. But heaps of American's (and everyone else) come over for a couple of weeks before the party to "do the festival" and make sure they go home with a Sydney tan. Most guys make sure they do the two main parties - Harbour Party (which is usually two weeks beofre MG party) and the MG party so to exactitude on the date, as I said before it was anytime Feb leading up to 4 March - assuming it was 2006 in C/L land.
