I know we've mentioned this before probably, but WHY do you think the writers of this episode decided to have it start out in 1950? Did they seriously think that the viewers would be like, "Oh...Ok. Potter would have been in Korea in '50. No prob." ?

Good point.

I really like that episode, but the dates are all messed up.

Oh well, they never really cared about a timeline on that show anyway.
It took them ten years to cover a three year war!

Maybe they had a couple of parallel universes. And maybe in one of those alternate realities, Henry made it home

Good wish anyways!

I accept that the timeline's screwed up...if this episode had even been like year 6 or 7, maybe I could have handled it, but year 9's a bit more than I can chew. Oh well! Still a great show!
