Nice to know it's 29 days...

I didn't want to go back through the season to check all the info and the transcripts aren't as useful as one might think so I only put the 10 day thing because we know that exactly... but it's important to realize that people round a lot. "it's been a week" tends to mean 6 to 8 days rather than exactly 7 days.

There's also indications of time skips of a few days when Lincoln is captured because one of the people say "It's been days since he's been brought in" so yeah. It's not exactly 1 ep = 2 days and they have time skips, but they're hard to pick up on a lot of times.

Shenandoah "valley" not be all together accurate. because Clarke's line of "They landed us on the wrong mountain" and the topographic map marking them on another mountain. Maybe they just named it "valley" or because of its relative position it is, but I'm not sure. That is one of the locations that the evidence points to. My point however is that Lincoln wouldn't tell them to go east. He'd tell them to go south, then east, because he'd know that going east is going right where his clan's are attacking from and likewise Mt Weather is directly east. So it's really weird he'd say east rather than south then east or south-east.

And yes writers don't always just make things up, but quite a few have a pentient for doing that. I find it annoying when they do that, especially when it's based on a real setting as it loses some of the story's overall appeal.
