I saw the suggestion about having a timeline for Elemental Charmed. So I decided to open up a new thread.
This will be a work in progress, and ongoing as we add events and dates to our timeline. But here's a basic rundown of what it could look like.

I'm thinking that each time we start a new page in our main thread, we should post a new updated timeline.
Just keep one very important thing in mind - the date an episode is aired is 'not* the same as the date when the events happened. Think of Classic Charmed. We know that Prue died on May 17, 2001, the day 'All Hell Breaks Loose' was aired. But we also know that her funeral happened during 'Charmed Again', which aired on October 4, 2001 - no way they would have waited almost five months before they held her funeral! Obviously the events aired in Season Four actually happened during the late spring and summer of 2001, not during the fall and winter of 2001 (which is more likely when Season Five happened}.
The same is true for Elemental Charmed. We have our own cliffhanger at the end of Season One and the start of Season Two - those two happened on the same day, even if we're saying they were aired months apart.
Of course we can probably find spots where months can pass between episodes and we can let the show's calendar catch up with the airing calendar, like what happened in both Classic Charmed Season Five and Season Six when Piper's pregnancies were a lot shorter than nine months.
Just a few thoughts when working on a timeline. It's why it's better to just show major events, not every one - then it's easier to update.
Hope all of that made sense.

I totally understand. Just adding the major events might be easier to update. Even though me trying to have the entire series episodes worked out sounds fun for some reason. I might stick to major just so it's updated easier. |

Well, if you can figure out when each episode took place, keeping in mind the difference between airing dates and actual show dates, GO FOR IT! I just know when I've tried to do something like that, it's been too confusing.

It might be a fun project for me to tackle, once we finish our EC series in full to do a more detailed timeline which includes every episode. And start our timeline with just the major events for now. |

I look forward to adding to it and starting it soon and as we get our Warren's birthdays and dates confirmed. |

I know you are obviously busy Pheebs doing other EC press releases or just with Real Life, but I hope you get around to doing this timeline.
Unless this sort of thing would be better when we finish our whole series with all episodes done.

I was planning on doing some during off-season during Christmas but it all depends on how busy I get.
I'll just say. When I seriously want to start it. I'll let you all know. Might be something we do when EC nears being completed.
If someone else wants to start it. Go for it!
