Stargate Timeline

[SaberBlade]

Problem is with cliffhangers tying the end of one season to the beginning of another, you can't strictly get away with that. Oftentimes I think that after a season premiere, the subsequent episode is weeks or months later. But in the case of episodes like "Enemies" and then "Threshold" this is certainly not the case.

That is a big problem, because a lot of gaps aren't necessarily spelt out. It usually takes people to be injured one episode with a broken leg or a gunshot wound, and then fine the next to show that time has passed or with Atlantis, just a general comment about the Daedalus being 2 or 3 weeks away in one episode, but arriving the next.

It does help show that episode 1 of a season, which closes the previous seasons finale, takes place in May, but episode 2 of the season takes place in June, episode 3 takes place in July and so on until it catches up with "real time" and then each episode takes place the week it's aired, but then SyFy throws in a 6 month gap between the mid-season two parter. Now part 2 starts right after part 1 and and then the whole thing is screwed up again because now there is another 6 month gap between episode time and "real time" which the PTB's can't fix because the following episodes are already done.
