Re: Oh, time is a fickle, flexible fluid thing in Qaf-land...

I *think* having now slept on it with a nap- that the time trick- is while it's a year inbetween start of 1x01 and 2x02, it's not a year inbetween 2x02 and 3x02/3. 3x01 picks up directly after (albeit with it's weird flashback structure) 2x22, but the total season can no longer be considered a full year.

In fact- it's during S3 when time gets most wonky- because the previous 'anniversaries' or 'birthdays' are no longer celebrated- we don't see Gus' 2nd birthday & therefore the anniversary of Brian & Justin meeting. Rather inexplicably- we don't again commemorate Brian's birthday- (and personally 31 was more traumatic than 30- hence why I celebrated 30 again) and with it a few days later the annivesary of the bashing. Justin & Ben's joint birthday doesn't come up again- although Brian references its approach in 310? or was it 311? Did anyone else ever get a birthday? S3 brings a 'new' anniversary for Mel & Linds- in order to serve plot of bringing everyone to their house & the 'punch'- since it couldn't be their Actual wedding anniversary. They have some 'contraint' challenges with new season since Mel is pregnant- but nothing is tied to an actualy calendar.

Ok, brain is back to hurting again.
