WE MADE IT!!! Thank you all so much for supporting me on this crazy journey to DAY 999 OF ALECTOPAUSE!!!

This was such a long, tough, journey to finish this comic. I started outlining in March of 2024. There was lots of starting and stopping as life got crazier and crazier. I currently work 5 jobs (I know, i'm not kidding.) The ONLY reason this was ever finished was because of all the amazing support I got along the way and the amazing energy that the TLT fandom has kept up. Especially @alectopause kicked my ass in gear and gave me a deadline to finish.

So, thank you all so much. I never would have considered myself a comic artist but this project has given me so much confidence.

I love you all.

I said, I assumed your parents made me the invitation.

She said, it was always me.”

Emma Cracks the Season 2 Timeline

To put it simply, there is a LOT of vagueness in Pantheon's timeline. It's the same with most shows tbh, but I'm hyperfixated on THIS one LOL

Although the events preceding the show's beginning are super confusing and often littered with inaccuracies that are impossible to rectify (the discord has been fighting to put it together and STRUGGLING), the events DURING the show are a bit easier to crack

Season 1 begins in November. We know this because Ellen mentions to Maddie's Principal in episode 1 that it's around the anniversary of David's death, and David died in November (as confirmed by the Holstrom AI in s2 ep1).

Season 1 takes place over the course of several months. The exact length of different spans within the season is really hard to track, sometimes days or weeks seem to pass between (and even within) episodes, but they're never given exactly. One concrete detail we do know is that at least two weeks, possibly more, pass between episodes 6 and 7 (Maddie mentions that David has gone dark for 2 weeks to conserve power).

Maybe another time I can try and crack the season 1 timeline, but HERE I'm focused specifically on season 2. The funny thing about season 2 is that, if you're not watching closely, it'll look like it happens all within a week. However, it actually lasts longer!

Season 2 begins about 40 days after the ending of season 1 ("40 days in the wilderness" as one TV/radio announcer describes in the beginning of s2 ep3). Maddie is now 15 (confirmed by someone who worked on the show who I talked to).

Season 2 (minus the last 2 eps) takes place sometime during the summer (Pope references midnight sun in Svalbard in s2 ep1) over the course of about a month.

Using travel times for the various parties and a few offhanded lines, I can actually track the timeline of season 2 almost down to the day!

Timeline under the cut because spoilers.

Let's get started!

S2 ep1 takes place over the course of 3 days. This accounts for the evening we see Maddie setting up the Lilypad network, the flight time it takes for Renee to go from Svalbard to California, the day we see Maddie spend with Justine and meet Renee, and then the flight time it takes to travel back to Svalbard and meet Caspian again.

S2 ep2 also takes place over the course of 2-3 days. We know this because Waxman is sent to DC to go testify towards the beginning of the episode, and by the time that Maddie and Caspian are escaping together, Caspian mentions that Waxman was "shipped out to DC two days ago". The flight time from Svalbard to DC then takes 18 hours direct.

S2 ep 3 actually takes place asynchronously. For Maddie and Caspian, it's 1 day. However, Renee's side takes place very differently. She left Svalbard at the same time as Maddie and Caspian, but traveled by boat to Germany--I've looked it up, that takes her about 8 days at a minimum, from what I've found on sites for ships that do travel to and from Svalbard.

Therefore, I estimate that at least 2 weeks, maybe 3 max, pass between episodes 3 and 4 because of this. At least a week for Renee to reach Germany and upload Holstrom to the military satellite, where he meets Chanda and Ping. Then, a few more days to about a week in which they escape to Holstrom's private server, giving time for Ping to get suspicious and decide to go after the cure by sending Caspian's info to the world governments, and then British MI6 spends at least the rest of that week verifying that intel before giving it to Olivia (we see her get frustrated in ep 4 when she finds out that they learned about the cure to the flaw "last week" and didn't tell her).

What were Maddie and Caspian doing meanwhile? Probably planning, making fake passports and IDs, and building MIST's body. We know that Safesurf only got announced and approved at the end of ep3, and it probably took a little while for the UN to distribute it widely enough to bring the internet back on. We can safely assume that public airports weren't in operation during the shutdown when UI threats were feared (or else you'd get UI 9/11 lol), so Maddie and Caspian wouldn't have been able to fly to Europe until they were up and running anyways.

S2 ep 4 is the shortest chronologically, it takes place in one afternoon. Ep 5 picks up in that same afternoon, and appears to take the rest of that day and then the rest of the next one too, accounting for Maddie's travel time to Cyprus and then putting together and executing the plan to rescue Caspian.

It's possible that more time passes between episodes 4/5 and 6, because I'm not sure how long it would take Holstrom to get his virus ready and for Renee to have all those Deepscan chairs built, but I'm not sure about this. If there is any, I don't think it's more than a few days, because there'd be a real sense of urgency for Maddie and Caspian to do something about Holstrom.

S2 ep6 takes place over about two days, I think. First day: Maddie and Caspian travel to Stockholm, while Waxman attempts to talk to the CDC. Second day: Maddie and Caspian travel to Svalbard by seaplane (unknown flight time), and have a few hours alone while Waxman and Ellen catch up to join them (18 hour flight time). The scan itself and the fight with Holstrom probably take less than an hour.

All in all, that gets us between about 25 days to a full month!

What's the point of this? For funsies, I guess lol. And I figure it could also be a resource for writing and analysis, maybe?

Also, if anyone has insights to add about the timeline, please share! Whether you wanna add something to this one, argue against any of it, or give ideas for the season 1 timeline details, I'd love to hear!
