So in ''Godsend'', Nathan mentions over the phone to Meredith that the election is in two weeks, but shortly thereafter Hiro notes to Ando that the explosion takes place in less than two weeks. So, two weeks before the explosion would mean that at the earliest, Hiro made that comment on 26 October.

With Hiro seeing his father that night, ''Distractions'' seems to take place the next day with their dialog occurring in the day. Sandra's visit with the neurologist would most likely be the day after her hit to the head, which would place ''Run!'' on the next day, being 29 Oct (at the earliest). With ''Parasite'' occurring three days after Zane's murder (the online article), that would make Parasite (at the earliest) 1 Nov. Using the assumption that no breaks in the episodes occurred less than a day, that would mean Parasite, in the "worst" case, would have to occur in November. |

Span IDs
I added a bunch of span IDs for the October dates, and some other key dates from the past. I tried to think of every way a person might link to that date because we obviously have been unable to standardize our date format. However, I've already found a couple of other ways (October 11 2006 vs. October 11, 2006 ... and then there's 11 October). I have no idea what to do -- I don't think adding more span IDs is the best option (I already think the ones I added are too many), so I guess the only option is to go through the site and standardize the format. Ugh. In any case, span IDs to all the events with dates have been added. ... "This article still needs a lot of work," says the broken record. 17:19, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
- Good job there. I guess the span IDs are the quickest solution available for now to allow event/date-linking to the Timeline article. --Mercury McKinnon 01:01, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

November
So in Godsend, Nathan mentions over the phone to Meredith that the election is in two weeks, but shortly thereafter Hiro notes to Ando that the explosion takes place in less than two weeks. So, two weeks before the explosion would mean that at the earliest, Hiro made that comment on 26 October. We can conclude The Fix takes place the next day with Peter and Claude's interaction on the Deveaux Building. With Hiro seeing his father that night, Distractions seems to take place the next day with their dialog occurring in the day. Sandra's visit with the neurologist would most likely be the day after her hit to the head, which would place Run! on the next day, being 29 Oct (at the earliest). With Parasite occurring three days after Zane's murder (the online article), that would make Parasite (at the earliest) 1 Nov. Using the assumption that no breaks in the episodes occurred less than a day, that would mean Parasite, in the "worst" case, would have to occur in November.
So, without objection, I will put Parasite in November.--Bob 01:31, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
