Talk:Official Warehouse 13 Timeline/@comment-5782071-20190527002353

Reeeeeally getting annoyed at the show's lack of a coherent timeline...

"Time Will Tell" (S2E1) is dated April 23rd by the Atlas House logbook, which in turn dated "MacPherson" to the same day and likely a few previous episodes to early 2010.

The very next episode, "Mild Mannered", is dated April 12th by a newspaper reporting on the Iron Shadow/Sheldon. The episode after that, "Beyond Our Control", is also dated April (no specific day) by a calendar in the back of the hardware store. Most recent episode, supercedes prior canon.

Also in "Mild Mannered", solidly in 2010, Artie says his falling out with James occured 15 years ago (at this point, 1995, strictly speaking). If late Season 1 occured in 2009 instead of 2010, Artie also says it happened 15 years ago, dating the falling out to 1994. Of course, this is more explainable since it's early in the year and perhaps the anniversary of the incident hasn't happened yet, but still.

Skipping ahead to Season 4, we know "Runaway" happens on a Monday in August (either the 13th, the Monday of the week the Beethoven Clock was sold, or the 20th, the following Monday). I thought I was going to be able to date the previous episode, "Instinct", with a prop, but said prop dates that episode the very next month after "Runaway" is supposed to happen, and since "Runaway" is the more recent episode, that's what's considered canon.
