seasons 1 to 3 don't take place over just one week! It can't be just that. Now this show is VERY BAD at letting us now visually what time of the day it is, BUT, I'm pretty sure each season covers roughly five days... I'll have to check later for seasons 2 and 3, but I'm absolutely certain season 1 takes places over one week because in S02E01 Callum explicitly states it in the letter her writes to King Harrow.

okay after much fucking around, here's what I've got

this is morning:

Okay After Much Fucking Around, Here's What I've Got

and this is sunset:

Okay After Much Fucking Around, Here's What I've Got

we already know that seasons conform generally to those of the real-world northern hemisphere

I'm sure someone has intricately laid out the timeline of s1 but I can't find it so, briefly recreated:

s1 begins the night of the full moon

the events of s1-s3 take place over a span of about a week

TTM begins days before the next new moon after the end of s3, covers the span to the following full moon, and ends on Callum's birthday

Callum's birthday is July 15

this means, counting backwards, that s1 begins in mid-June, possibly very close to the summer solstice, meaning a) everyone is by my estimation WILDLY overdressed, and b) the sun is rising and setting close to the furthest north point of its annual path

so if the balcony is actually oriented in some northeast-ish direction, it's theoretically possible to have these shots explained by something other than "sunrise/sunset occurs in whatever direction is most dramatic, fuck you"

(also that the shadow assassin headed for Neolandia isn't quite as off course as I thought, but on the other hand the one going to Del Bar is literally going 100% the wrong direction)

I believe 6x09 takes place during the new moon, just the day after the 'moonless light' when the celestial elves took off their blindfolds. Though two weeks is still a stretch -- the season seems to happen in the span of like five to seven days, right?

So apparently a whole month passes from 6x01 to 6x09? How?

That is true!! And it makes absolutely no sense. How long were Callum and Rayla at the Starscraper? There was a lot of emphasis on the moonless night thing on 6x06 and 6x07. And 6x08 and 6x09 clearly take place on the same day. What gives?

So apparently a whole month passes from 6x01 to 6x09? How?
