Right, thanks. I saw the celebrations in the trailer and wondered if it might have some significance, but didn't know what it could be.

That wouldn't be ideal, but if it's 2017, it could work. Because the end of the season and the state finals were seemingly not much more than a week apart - they were saying they were "next week" from like Episode 1 or 2. Usually the end of the season is mid-February and the state finals early March, so I was thinking we were going to have to push them a bit inwards either way, but if this firmly places it in late February, then we could use the mid-February end of season date and then the following week or so for the state finals, a bit early but fitting with Mardi Gras. It could be nice to get a firm date and push aside the October phone date. I thought about how the state finals could have been referring to the end of the regular basketball season, which, in 2017, was on February 18. However, this didn't really work since they were obviously talking about the state championships.

Fortunately, we can assume that the festival seen in the trailer is Jazz Fest.

I agree 2009-2017 is probably best. It's just that the October date was so clearly shown on-screen, so it's hard to completely push aside. But then again, the 2007 date was also clearly shown on-screen. I don't like the October date either so I'm just kinda hoping something more concrete allows us to discard it.

I didn't think the Roxxon ID was of much significance because it just covers a full year, any year. BEJT wrote:

I'm sure it was the filming date, especially since Episodes 2-10 filmed July-November, so October for the filming of Episode 8 is about right. Considering the laziness of their timeline props, I don't doubt they just showed the date on the phone. I just think it was so blatantly shown that it's hard to immediately discard, but as I was saying, I'm really hoping we can just throw it aside.

Wait, so you think Adina's ID was issued recently? I probably missed something there, do they talk about how it's a new ID or something? I didn't catch that which was why I didn't really see the ID as significant. That could be helpful then. BEJT wrote:

Well, not definitely, because it could help with the slight basketball problem as mentioned. Although if you're saying that the March date on the ID could have some significance, then yeah, that could be a problem. Well, there is nothing that indicates that the ID was issued recently. At best, it indicates that Episode 8 occurs either before March 11 or otherwise on or after March 12. I was working on the assumption that the episode was in mid-March and took place the following Thursday after March 12.

However, it seems that we might be moving these events to mid-April, so it makes the ID less relevant.

BEJT wrote: It is unfortunate, and having now learned a bit more about how this was actually previously dealt with 6 years ago, I've become a bit less sympathetic to Disney's actions. This was dealt with 6 years ago, so why, when these people bring it up again (people who are specifically attacking Gunn to get him fired), do Disney talk about how they've "discovered" these tweets and now have to fire him (thus also letting these people win). They were aware and things moved on in 2012. It's interesting following the response online, with many celebrities and critics and people involved with the Hollywood scene actually having the courage to stand up for him despite his mistakes. Yeah, it definitely makes the firing rather unjustified. The best case scenario is that they re-hire Gunn and issue a public apology. The petition to get Disney to re-hire Gunn has already received 270.000 out of the required 300.000. With a bit of luck, this could get resolved.

I'm not sure that they foresaw the extent of the inter-connectivity back in 2008, beyond perhaps just a wild dream. But I do always enjoy a reference (except when the Netflix shows start going on about "the Incident" and "the green guy" and don't just talk more explicitly about these things), such as this Stark reference and last week's Misty mention. I don't really mind it when they refer to it as "The Incident", since it's pretty common for certain events to get some sort of local nickname that everyone within the community can recognize. I do agree, however, that it's a bit silly when they try to avoid naming any of the Avengers by name.

Although, they are getting a bit more comfortable with referencing them directly. Claire's mother outright talked about aliens and Captain America was referenced in Jessica Jones: Season 2 a lot more overtly than in Jessica Jones: Season 1 and Luke Cage: Season 1.

A time gap is probably possible, I haven't really been focusing on the day-to-day stuff because I'd like a year first before I start doing all that, but you make a good point about the psych eval. April 18th is a possible date for the accident I guess, like how we've occasionally had to say "Right date, wrong year" to things before. Those incidents, though, are when the date (ignoring the year) happens to line up anyway so we might as well - like how Tony's return in Iron Man places itself in May so May 4th might as well be used, and the newspaper in Iron Man 3 places itself on December 23rd so December 23rd might as well be used (as a matter of fact, everything else placed it there anyway). There's nothing particularly placing it in April yet, but we'll see. Assuming Episode 9 and 10 will take place during Jazz Fest, it would pretty much place those episodes in late April. Of course, we'll still have to determine whether or not a time skip (or multiple time skips) occured in between episodes.

Good point, yeah, they're kind of grouping it all together, which is nice in this time when things are less connected. I'd definitely like some more connectivity in the future. But yeah, I know the logistics involved in making any kind of crossovers happen makes things difficult. Oh well, someday perhaps.

The anniversary doesn't necessarily have to be on April 18th though, but thanks for checking that. I've pretty much let go of 2015 though at this point, it's just not looking at all possible. When I list all the evidence again after the season finishes next week, it might help again to give the full picture of where the evidence adds up to place things. We'll have to wait and see, but I agree that 2015 doesn't really seem possible at this point.
