"Seasons" of AIO
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2022 10:23 am
This occurred to me while I was writing the other topic, and I decided to split it off into its own.
If AIO were a planet, it would take about two and a half years for its revolution around the sun to be complete, possibly 830+ days.
It's difficult to get an exact count quickly, because of discontinued and Club episodes, but a quick and dirty count, assuming no Club episodes:
* Spring would begin in episode #1, Whit's Flop, and could continue up to around "The Mortal Coil".
* Summer may commence around "The Mortal Coil" and continues up until around "Opening Day".
* Fall starts after and continues until around "Life, in the Third Person".
* Winter starts after that, and 'ends*' in "The Lost One".
* By definition, because we're saying the Odyssey year is the length of the broadcast schedule. If there were fewer or more radio episodes, everything would be slightly different.
I know a lot of people have tried different ways of categorizing AIO 'eras'; how do you think this quick take compares to those?
