I've rewatched the series, from start to current point. Is anyone else annoyed by the timeline inconsistencies?
From the point that Rick shows up at the camp and finds Lori and Carl, to the time they end up at the farm was only 7 or 8 days from my counting. Rick had only been with Lori for 8 days... Thus Rick is most likely not the father of the baby, though there is still a small chance. But for a pregnancy test to work, especially a no name brand one, you have to be at least 5 to 7 days past the point you should have started your period.
I'm also not sure if I missed it or not, but how long was Rick in the hospital after crap hit the fan? From the time Shane was in the hospital attempting to save him, till the time Rick wakes up? One week? Two Weeks? Three weeks?
From the sounds of it Rick and Lori weren't doing too much screwing before he got shot, since they were fighting...so it's unlikely she was pregnant from Rick before the shooting.
How soon after escaping and thinking Rick was dead did Lori start shacking up with Shane? It's shocking to me that she would jump right into having sex with Shane just a week after her husband died. Seems a little hard to believe. She'd be grieving for some period of time wouldn't she? Or did she secretly have feelings for Shane too, and falling into sex with him was easy and something she'd thought about before?
So I've found I'm more confused with Season 2's timeline than Season 1. Season 1 was pretty straight forward.
But from my calculations, Sophia was lost only 3 days after the attack at the camp. When they showed up at the CDC there was only 16 or 18 hours on the clock behind the doc. So they were there for less than 24 hours. They leave the CDC and drive. We don't get a good sense of how long they drove, could have been just a day...and then Sophia gets lost.
They spend 3 days up at the road waiting for her to come back. Carl gets shot on the second day of looking for her.
It's only been 3 days since Carl got shot when Glenn finds the zombies in the barn.
But then the next episode Carl is up and feeding baby chicks, but Nelly, the horse Daryl had taken out on his search (which appeared to only be 3 days after Carl got shot) comes running back. So how long was that horse out wondering around? So how much time was supposed to have elapsed from 204 - 206? Because Daryl is still has blood on his head and is laying around nursing his injury in 206, so maybe a day has gone by?
Ugh...these timeline inconsistencies are bugging me.
