So, basically what happened here is that I misunderstood what Keith (dawson@epps.kodak.com) meant by "Twin Peaks Time." It is the date the episode _started_, not the date of the episode's main action. So, all the first season times are correct from this point of view. mea culpa. >> >> >>> >>>2001 09/30/90 03 Mar (Friday) (cont.) [sic] > > > >Huh?

You believe that the conversation b/w Tru, Coop, Albert and the Major took place on Sunday morning. This may be true, I see no way of telling for certain at this point. We'll have to wait until they give us some more clues. >>> >>>2013 01/19/91 18 Mar (Saturday) >> >> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >> >> should be:17 Mar (Friday) > > > >I believe 18 Mar is correct, since this makes it the Saturday and none > >of the teenagers are in school - though Invitation to Love is on.
