Timeline issues
Hello all,
I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but I dislike intensely when a series doesn't keep track of its own timeline. So, for the sake of story continuity for anyone writing about Christina's death, I wanted to point out the disparity in the dates given by the show. In "Where and When" (Season 2), Helena tells Claudia that she used her time machine to travel back to Paris in 1899 to the day her daughter was killed to try and stop it. However, in "3...2...1", (Season 3) they set the flashbacks in 1893 and had Helena say that Christina had been gone for two years. Personally, I'm sticking with the 1899 date, as I have used it in other stories, but not sure if the new date is one that they intend to use for the potential new series. Using H.G. Wells birthdate, in 1893, Helena would only have been 27 or so; in 1899, she would have been 33, much closer to Jaime's real age and a little more realistic.
Anyway, forgive the mini-rant. Just thought I'd mention the date discrepancies for those writers out there.
Cheers!!
