SPN TIMELINE RANT
Okay. So, Tumblr being a little c*ntbag deleted my post literally in the middle of me typing, so here we go again (woo-fucking-hoo). No, this is not the 1st time it’s happened, and it is taking everything in my power not to punch the computer screen.
A lot of timelines I see on various blogs, websites, and wikis for SPN tend to mess up the dates of the series. While there are 2 year-long time skips, the showrunners had decided to go by “Soap Opera Time” and nobody seems to properly account for that. This can be quit frustrating when, if you’re anything like myself, you’re trying to figure out dates for fics and things.
SO, my annoyed, neurotic self decided to post a more accurate version of the timeline that better coincides with the episodes themselves as well as real-world events mentioned in the series. I’m also taking into account some script details and things the cast and crew have said during interviews and conventions.
S1 - October 31, 2005-July 2006
S2 - July 2006-May 2007
S3 - May 2007-Approx. May 2, 2008
S4 - September 18, 2008-May 2009
S5 - May 2009-May/June 2010
-- 1 Year Time Skip (Dean w/ Lisa & Ben; Sam hunting with the Campbells)--
S6 - Presumably May/June 2011-June 4, 2012
S7 - Approx. June 5, 2012-May 15, 2013
--1 Year Time Skip (Dean & Cas in Purgatory; Sam w/ Amelia)--
S8 - September 2014-May 19, 2015
S9 - May 20, 2015-June 16, 2016
S10 - Late July/Early August 2016-Late May/Early June 2017
S11 - Late May/Early June 2017-Presumably April 2018
S12 - Presumably April 2018-May 18, 2019
S13 - May 18, 2019-September 2020
S14 - September 2020-May/June 2021
S15 - May/June 2021-June 2022
Series Finale (15x20) - Either December 2022 or 2027 (Dean’s Death); Approximately 40-50yrs later (Sam’s Death)
**NOTE: The reason I have 2 hugely different dates for Dean’s death is because Jared previously stated in an interview that Dean died 5yrs after defeating Chuck. However, the scripts for the final episode have indicated that Dean died only 6 months after they defeated Chuck. As much as I would love it if Dean had the 5yrs of peace and happiness, realistically I know that the 6 months is probably more accurate. Regardless, I included both.
