Genesis
You really need to look at a calendar of 2006.
Genesis is September 28, 2006. Why?
- Sylar's watch shows the date and time that he killed Chandra, which can be seen very clearly in I Am Become Death as the 24th day of a month. The bulk of Genesis occurs four days later, which is September 28, 2006. Mohinder finds out about Chandra's death within hours of the occurrence (remember that there is a 9.5-hour time difference between New York City, New York and Chennai, India) on September 25, 2006 and comes to his apartment/claims the body on September 27, 2006.
- Claire's MySpace makes it very clear that Genesis takes place after school on a school day (Zach and Claire are filming after school). October 1, 2006 is a SUNDAY. September 28, 2006 is a Thursday and Jackie claims credit for the incident on Friday. Sandra also makes a comment about going to the new mall in Gardendale on Saturday. It kind of makes more sense if we're talking about the end of a week instead of a Sunday of the weekend before.
Your assertion that every episode happens on one day doesn't work with what is seen in the episodes. In fact, scenes are not necessarily linear either (in fact, rarely are). (I have worked out a more specific calendar on Microsoft Works Calendar, complete with calculated times of day. You must factor in travel times, time zones, days of the week, school days, date and time indicators, etc...)
Hiro's trip to the bar on October 2, 2006 is on a separate day from Japan's eclipse on the morning of September 29, 2006.
- If Homecoming is three weeks after Genesis, that is October 13, 2006. Charlie died on October 12, 2006. Homecoming specifically gives a school calendar where Homecoming takes place on a Friday. Another fallacy of the one episode = one day assumption. Putting Homecoming 3 weeks into October simply makes it impossible to get all the events to happen by November 8, 2006. October 13, 2006 is Homecoming--three weeks after the last week of September.
In my estimation, the comic with Daphne's backstory probably used the incorrect timeline from this site. Whoever moved the hands on Sylar's watch got it right.
