Quick question re 8.19

[ash48]

This is geeky curiosity really.

Time is different in hell. 1 month = 10 years. So...Sam was down there for what? Um..2 hours, 12 hours? I suppose all we know is from the time he was dropped into Purgatory and the time he came out of hell it was 24 hours.

So. I wonder how many hell hours he would have been down there? (what's an hour in hell equivalent to?) If it equates to a few days it'd make more sense in the time it took to find Bobby.

Just saying.

Also...that episode was successful in one respect. I don't think I've ever seen by flist make so many reaction posts. Looks like it stirred up all sorts of feelings! Oh show. The things to (continue!) to do to us.

*hugs* Day off today. After the obligatory jobs I have to do it's fannish time! \o/

~30 days = ~10 years. ~3 days = ~1 year. ~3 days = ~360 days. ~1 day = ~120 days.

However, you say purgatory was part of the 24 hrs (I have not seen the ep, or indeed anything subsequent to the first few minutes of 8x11, I'll catch up eventually), and to the best of my knowledge we never heard how purgatory time compares to earth time.

So that's 24 hours in a day so 5 days per hour?

We don't ever find out exactly how long Sam's down there for. But we can say at least 2 hours - so 10 days.

The time of either hell or purgatory was never acknowledged so this is more an exercise in trying to make sense of how quickly it took Sam to find Bobby. (though, eek. You haven't seen it yet. I'm assuming you don't mind spoilers as you've clicked here...;D)

Thanks!

That sounds right.

I do not mind spoilers.
