Hi - good detective work on the timeline, but!!! No criticism of what you’ve found but how does that tie in with season 6… if you’re saying opening Night is April - and allowing for at least three weeks of the rest of season 5?
Then we must give Klaine time to realise living together is not working, the split, the drop out of Nyada, (which you’d think was after a failed term? In June perhaps?).
Kurt turning up six months after at the agreed spot and then Blaine going through depression, therapy, meeting Dave, moving in, and Kurt being back? Which seemed pretty soon In the school year. They agreed to meet up six months after episode 20 - well that would have been May by your calculations, and six months later would be November. Homecoming is usually September, with sectionals at Thanksgiving. So the wedding should have been mid November to tie in with sectionals?
No discredit to what you’ve found, just that glee time line makes no sense. And by season 5/6 the writers probably didn’t care.
First answer is Glee doesn't do continuity so yes I am going with didn't care or worse thought so little of fans they thought we wouldnt care.
The "Lets meet here in 6 months" for whatever reason was dropped or shortened to three months not 6. Why who knows unless they didnt think they were getting a season 6. I mean the End of The Untitled RB Projects ends climatically
I have set The Untitled RB Project in June so 6 months would be December and yet Kurt is there??? And it is only September???
So how I square this I go with Kurt showing up 3 months and projecting forward knowing that nobody would be there in December
As for the timeline I wanted to so badly put Opening Night in March because 9 months from City of Angels when Emma learned she was pregnant is March not April ...then there is Schue who leaves a pregnant wife a whole month over due to go see a former student who yes arguably is having one of the best nights of that student's life? But okay. Me I would have stayed home with 10 months pregnant wife because she is going to pop any minute.... And then I hear that the only reason they wanted April 24 for the opening night is it is Barbra Streisand's birthday making the Funny Girl opening a tribute to Barbra which okay.. But then I recall that Beth Corcoran was month early and Robin Sylvester was 2 months early so I guess Danny can be a month late
Timeline for the remaining season 5 and 6 seasons
(TV Pitch Season in Hollywood is in May and June )
THE UNTITLED RACHEL BERRY PROJECT
(Again TV Pitch Season is in May and June )
On the corner meet here in 6 months pact is made it is June 2014 so 6 months later is December 2014
But in Kurt's flash back to the break up happened before Labour Day (which was September 1st in 2014) because originally The Klaine Marrage was going to be then and Blaine talks about getting a spot open on Labour Day for their reception. This puts the Break Up in the summer either July or August but more likely August as I will explain below
McKinley starts their school year off two weeks before Labour Day. (Ergo August) Which is not uncommon for Ohio. I found several K-12 public school schedules starting in August and only one that began after Labour Day. Season 1 Pilot was set in August 2009
NYADA is also on the semester system we learn this in Swan Song in the 4th season when Kurt tried to audition for "The Winter Semester" Some Colleges are on the semester system when they are the Fall semester begins in August
This gives Blaine and Kurt time to start the Fall Semester Blaine to fall behind after Kurt breaks up (why I think August for the break up not July) Blaine gets cut and heads home. At some point Kurt heads back home to Lima too changing his Externship from singing in a nursing home to helping Rachel at WMHS
The new TV season generally premieres in September unless it is a minor network and/or it is a "Summer Mid-Season Replacement" which typically air in July and in August. We don't know if Rachel's Show was meant to be Summer Mid-Season replacement but my bet is that it was meant to be on a minor network like a clone of the WB and therefore possible it is both minor network and mid season replacement
(Set end of September 2014)
(Homecomings are held at the end of September/ beginning of October but we have hard October dates so I say September)
(Set beginning of October 2014)
(Hard Set due to Sue's Calendar
The 12th through to The 18th of October)
(Continuing hard set starting on October 20
Mercedes says it is 5 weeks until Sectionals
Rachel's NY audition was schedule on a Friday so it was on Friday The 24th with the episode ending on what was ether Friday October 31 or Saturday November 1 as the date set for Will's dinner party (which side note head canon was an engagement party for Brittana)
(Friday October 31st - Monday November 11th)
In Will's Vocal Adrenaline office he recieves from a booster donor gift of a stroller which per a future statement was most likely given to him on Friday October 31st. Now since it was given to him at work in order for Will's and Emma's son to use it he has to finish his day, take the stoller home and possibly do some light assembly
So In other words when Will Emma and son are walking through a park some days have passed and when they run into Rachel and Blaine who have just been egged ...The earliest is can be is Monday. But It has to be a weekday because Blaine and Rachel would only be going to work on a weekday. Working backwards I am calling it as Monday November 3 This date will be confirm by Unique and The Trans Choir
After learning what Vocal Adrenaline did to Blaine and Rachel Will hatches a two part plan with Unique to teach Vocal Adrenaline about Tolerance - We know Wil reached out to Unique on that same Monday (November 3rd) because Will will say on Monday November 10th that Unique took about a week to put the Trans Choir together
Tuesday November 4 2014 was an election day and Burt would have been up for re-election for District 4 Ohio State Rep - Burt wins reelection even while we didn't see this or hear about it - It is important to remember this as it become important latter
It was also Tuesday November 4 that Seldon Beiste returns to Mckinley he is wearing (blue shirt, short black tie, and khaki pants) Sam and Sue are there to greet him. (Sue in a blue track suit)
What these two are wearing becomes day markers. Sam is a little harder to figure time passage as his red shirt and tan pants seem to be his assistant coach uniform and he probably has a few pairs of khaki pants and red shirts in rotation
Sam leaves Sue and Beiste to go find Rachel who is down in the dumps - Sam believes it is still over the egging she got on Monday - But instead Sam learns it is because Rachel's family home has been sold
From here Sam and Kurt plan a party letting the New ND in on the plan.... this cuts to
Still Tuesday November 4 2014 (we know this by what Seldon is wearing the same blue shirt short black tie and khaki pants) Seldon Beiste possibly leaving to go vote finds his car has been vandalized with offensive slurrs
Wednesday November 5 2014
Will starts phase 1 of his two part one of the two part plan happened on Wednesday November 5
Will clearly says "The other day" Which we know at minimum is two days and he has successfully reached out to Unique to get her to sing with him They sing Same Love
November 6th (Seldon is now wearing a green shirt/green and brown striped tie and Sue has on a red track suit) and Seldon lets Will know his kids are awful
Still November 6th The New ND spin a wheel to find who they will sing with Kurt cheats so he can sing with Blaine. Rachel's farewell to her House party is set for a "Friday night" so this Friday they spoke of must be Friday November 7th
Friday November 7th Will kicks Clint off Vocal Adrenaline knowing full well Clint will be reinstated
That same Friday but now night Will is trying to fix the stroller "that broke a week after he got it" This backdating of a week seems to confirm October 31 was the date when he got the stroller from the Booster
Upset about everything he tells Emma he hates his job
Cut to Rachel's party which we know was a Friday
Sam's and Rachel's duet is Time after Time which includes a scene that is probably Saturday November 8th and shows The New ND helping Rachel pack up her room (they are all wearing different clothes from party and it is daylight outside. The scene cuts back to party and it is night again
This same Friday night Sheldon is doing inventory and ia visited by Unique. They bond over what it means to be Trans
Saturday 8th Karofski and Blaine go to early football game in Bowling Green where Karofski exchanges phone numbers with Craig the Clumsy Defense Player
Monday November 10th Clint is reinstated just as Will knew he would be But Will acts like he is okay with this (because he and Unique have set up something else to make the point. and so he falsely gets Vocal Adrenaline motivated to pull a prank at Mckinley
This same monday Blaine and Karofski break up stating Blaine has been staring off into soace for days/since the party friday night. Meaning Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, and part of Monday...but they part as friends in part because Dave has Craig's number. (Ship name Crave?)
Blaine runs to find Kurt but Kurt is going on a double date with Walter and Sam and Rachel
Kurt Sam and Rachel have returned from dinner (they are wearing what they wore to dinner) to see Unique and The Trans Choir sing for Seldon. Will quits Vocal Adrenaline
Tuesday November 11th Rachel and Kurt welcome Will back
Week of November 10th - 15
Early in the week Monday or Tuesday
Artie, Mrs Pierse, and Mrs Lopez, Santana, and Britt check out the Barn where Brittany was born as a venue for the wedding
Tuesday and/or Wednesday Evening
The Old ND and The New ND decorate the barn
Kurt volunteers his dad or officiate the Wedding. The reason I believe Kurt volunteered his dad was his dad had just won reelection. I think had Burt lost Kurt would have never mentioned his dad.
Brittany and Santana dress fitting
Brittany and Santana discuss uninviting Sue
Santana tells Sue to her face how she doesn't want Sue at her wedding
That evening Sue talks to Santana's Abuela
Being the date of The Wedding
THE RISE AND FALL OF SUE SYLVESTER
