In order to keep myself consistent while writing Legends Lost, I wound up developing a formal timeline. Since I was developing my own time line, I decided to go ahead and correct some noticeable inconsistencies with the episode order.
I tried to stay as close to the air dates as I could, and I also considered shooting order and U.S. holidays. Here are the episode dates and order being used in this universe.
Notes: Several episodes clearly take place across multiple days. These are the dates I’m using as the start of each episode. Links are to Iwsod’s excellent recaps.
