He spends next time (several several weeks) on recovery, will take it to early April 2017, the very first days, I would say April 1st, and then he is assigned with Krysta. So the season would pick up on March 2018.

Am I right?.

Yeah, but that "One Year Ago" thing was more about Madani's hospital times, if that's what you mean.

I finished the season. Here's a few general thoughts of mine on timeline. No spoilers for the most part, I will not talk about further episodes until the very end of this post. Don't worry I will put a warning before I go into that one thing.

Note: I reluctantly will play devil's advocate here.

OK guys, through pausing and copying any bits I can read, and then filling in the gaps with existing images of presidential pardons, I've worked out what the whole letter says in the teaser for The Punisher: Season 2, an it's pretty good news.

BEJT wrote: Executive Grant of Clemency The President of the United States of America TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, GREETING: BE IT KNOWN, THAT THIS DAY THE PRESIDENT HAS GRANTED UNTO FRANK CASTLE A FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL PARDON FOR HIS CONVICTION in the United States District Court for the District of New York on an indightment (Docket No. 6421-L-Cr) charging violation of Sections 32 (2017 edition) and 536, Title 12, United States Code, Section 924, Title 44, United States Code, and Presidential Proclamation 4995, dated January 14th, 2016, for which he was sentenced on February fourth 2017, to 18 months' imprisonment and a fine of five thousand dollars ($5,000).

THE PRESIDENT HAS DESIGNATED, directed and empowered the Pardon Attorney as his representative to sign this grant of executive clemency.

In accordance with these instructions and authority, I have signed my name and caused the seal of the Department of Justice to be affixed hereto and affirm that this action is the act of the President being performed at his discretion.

Done at the City of Washington, District of Columbia, on March 1st 2018.

BY DIRECTION OF THE PRESIDENT Signature

So, this is the letter we saw in teaser. That letter burning scene only appeared on that teaser so, it was a metaphorical way to show him going back to his punishing life.

As for why I brought up this teaser, some of the things don't make sense to me: 1) On Season 1 finale, we never saw Frank being sentenced. Just 3 days after facing off with Russo (pun intended), which happened on December, we saw him all cleaned up with a new identity. Even if we think it all happened within 3 days, him being sentenced date doesn't match up. 2) 18 months of imprisonment? That's too low. 3) Why would his pardon be signed more than a year later?

(Note: If you guys say the dates are within logic, I'd like to listen why.)

This is the part where I will play devil's advocate. What if they were referring his Daredevil Season 2 trial scenes with "for which he was sentenced on February fourth 2017" part in the letter? This would match up with their way of thinking, because as far as we know, Season 1 of Punisher takes place on late 2017 according to them. (Remember Lewis Wilson mistake?) And then with pardon letter being signed on March 1st 2018, it would be shortly after the last scene of Punisher Season 1, where he gets his freedom. This would make things worse. Because if they insist on "It was released on November 2017, so it takes place on November 2017", with the same logic and obvious "one year ago" thing, they might think this season takes place on late 2018.

So the conclusion: If they think like what I wrote above, the possibilities are:

1) Heads of Marvel TV don't care about contradictions with movies, thus they never warned producers about The Snap. 2) They do care, but they know The Snap will be reversed as if it never happened and will affect nothing.

They really have to see the timeline on this wiki, which really does make sense and much better than their way of thinking. Can't we contact with at least Marvel TV?

We will wait until another statement from TV side, where they should say Punisher Season 2 is before Infinity War, like they did with Daredevil Season 3. If they say so, (SMALL SPOILER HERE) we might wanna consider "Frank burning letter video"s given dates as non-canon because of something that was shown on the last episode.
