I wish I could stop trying to make sense of the timeline in Angel season 5 and just watch the special features. It's like a logic puzzle from the World Without Logic. (Basically, six months pass between Conviction and Damage, and only two months between You're Welcome and the finale, which makes for a pretty packed eight weeks. We've got two fixed dates in the season, since Life of the Party is a Halloween episode and Smile Time is a week after Valentine's Day. I overthink these things far too much.)

It could be worse, you could be trying to makes sense of S4's.

Try working the timeline for the start of Season Seven Buffy, where it appears to go from November 12th in Conversations with Dead People to "just before Christmas" in Bring On The Night (2/3 episodes later), which if you look at all the canon evidence, should really be little more than a week. It seriously makes your head hurt.

No! That way lies madness!

(S6 Bufy is tantalyzing, but you just can't do it if you take Tara's gravestone as canon.)

Technically, Smile Time can't be a week after Valentine's Day because of the Nina factor - the next full moon isn't until March 6, 2004. I'd say Knox is approximating, as evil geeks do. :-)

The most head-exploding thing about the Angel Season Five timeline, though, is that it indicates that Chosen and the destruction of Sunnydale take place in August rather than May. Witness the geekitude! (http://www.livejournal.com/users/toysdream/3676.html)
