Cap Day 2: Cap escapes Triskellion, Zola's speech.
Cap Day 3: Falcon joins, Battle in the city, Fury is alive, Public revelation of HYDRA as Project Insight is a go, Cap attacks the Triskellion, Pierce is killed, Project Insight is destroyed.
Cap Day ?: Maria Hill joins Stark Industries.
Cap Day ?: Fury burns all evidences.
Cap Day ?: Black Widow is called in front of authorities.
Cap Day ?: Cap and Falcon want to continue Bucky' search.

And everything from Fitz calling Simmons and her saying something was going on at the end of AoS ep 16 through them having defeated the Clairvoyant takes place on day three. So all the stuff with them trying to take down the Clairvoyant and splitting up into teams, tracking Deathlock, and Simmons going to the Triskelion takes place in the span of at least two days (it's open to be more if it makes sense for the show, since we don't know how long Sitwell was on the Lemurian Star).
 
Made a few adjustments and added the events of AoS Ep 16 and 17 in:

I placed the events of the Lemurian Star mission on day 1, and the debrief and Fury's attack on day 2 to account for the fact that Cap was jogging in early morning, went of the mission (which likely took a good 12-16 hours of flight time round trip, 6-8 hours each way plus the actual assault on the ship and freeing of the hostages), and the fact it's daytime when he returns to Triskelion and speaks to Fury. Also Fury's attack occurring that same day (around midday or afternoon) likely place those events occurring across two days.

All those last portions from the closing scenes of Cap-TWS must occur very soon after the battle at the Triskelion based on the fact Hill is interviewing for a position at Stark Ind in the final few scenes of Cap 2, and is already employed with them by the time AoS Ep 20 occurs. This shows only several days at most have occurred between the Triskelion battle and the events of AoS Ep 20 (showing Coulson's team traveling to the Providence base and their time their, and Garret and Ward's assault on the Fridge, Coulson protecting his ex-girlfriend the cellist from Blackout, Ward's return to the team to get Skye, and Hill).

It is possible the Senate hearings, Fury burning his stuff, and the scene at Fury's fake grave from the end of Cap 2 occur awhile later, but it's unlikely. Fury burning his stuff would occur at most a day after, and the scene at the grave perhaps a day or two later.

As for the mid credit scene with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, given that Von Strucker is being told of the events of the battle (and Hydra's takeover of SHIELD having failed), that likely occurs the same day or day after the battle.

The post credit scene of Bucky visiting the Cap memorial museum also likely occurs soon after the final battle, likely within a few days, as I don't think he'd put off discovering/verifying the truth about his past.

I've only seen the film once so my memory of the amount of days passing and the events isn't perfect. That's why I'm waiting for the DVD so eagerly.

Just my two cents. ;)
 
From watching the film again on here, I've come up with this:

Day one: Cap meets Falcon
Night one: The action on the ship
Day two: Cap meets with Fury, Fury meets with Pierce, Cap goes to see Peggy, Cap goes to the VA, Fury gets attacked by Winter Soldier.
Night two: Fury goes to Cap's apartment, gets shot by Winter Soldier.
Day three: Cap and Black Widow on the run from Shield
Night three: Visit the army base, Winter Soldier visits Pierce
Day four: Going to Falcons house, speaking with Sitwell, fight with Winter Soldier
Night four: Cap and crew speaking with Fury, Cap stealing suit from Smithsonian (Has to have happened at night)
Day five: the final battle

But like you said, what I have as day 1 and day 2 could just be one whole day. I just think that would be a lot to get through in one day lol.

Compressing all of it into one day gives this:

Day one: Cap meets Falcon, The action on the ship, Cap meets with Fury, Fury meets with Pierce, Cap goes to see Peggy, Cap goes to the VA, Fury gets attacked by Winter Soldier.
Night one: Fury goes to Cap's apartment, gets shot by Winter Soldier.
Day two: Cap and Black Widow on the run from Shield
Night two: Visit the army base, Winter Soldier visits Pierce
Day three: Going to Falcons house, speaking with Sitwell, fight with Winter Soldier
Night three: Cap and crew speaking with Fury, Cap stealing suit from Smithsonian (Has to have happened at night)
Day four: the final battle

That coincides better with AOS now.

In regards to Agents of Shield:

Night three: The battle with Hydra and going to the Hub (episode 17)
Day four: Hand and Coulson talking about Cap, Hand getting killed (episode 17), the entire events of episode 18.
Night four: Episode 19 starts during the night with Blackout killing that guy.
Day five: Coulson finding out the Fridge was compromised and taking the team to track down the cellist.
Night five: Blackout attacks her during the night, and is captured not long after.
Day six: Episode 19 ends with Ward and Skye taking off as the suns rising. Then there's the scene with May speaking to her mother.
Night six: May talking to Hill in DC.
Day seven: Skye and Wards adventure.
Night seven: The team staying at the motel.


-The montage of everyone getting new jobs would most likely be on day five.
-Fury burning his stuff and Widow at the senate I'd place on day six.

AOS episode 16, Fury's grave and both credit scenes I'm not sure about.

OK, no, wait, I've got a question. How do we know "The Consultant" takes place on June 4th, 2011? I've watched it a few times and I still haven't pieced that together. We don't need to assume that The Incredible Hulk is linear, but the rest of it is. Occam's razor would suggest that the final scene in which Thaddeus is talking to Tony takes place in July, after Bruce learns to control Hulk. That would put "The Consultant" in July, too.

Speaking of which, why July 5th? If we're to assume, appropriately I think, that Bruce's last transformation occurred on June 2nd, 31 days later would be July 3rd.

My reading of July 2011:

July 3rd:
The Incredible Hulk Chapter 19: "Without Incident" (1:43:00 - 1:44:19)

After that, in this order, but without known dates:
Day A:
Marvel One-Shot - "The Consultant" (0:00:00 - 0:02:05) (Short Film - Thor - Blu-Ray)
Iron Man 3 - Prelude #1 (pg. 1-3)
The Incredible Hulk Chapter 19: "Without Incident" (1:44:20 - 1:44:41)
Marvel One-Shot - "The Consultant" (0:02:06 - 0:02:42) (Short Film - Thor - Blu-Ray)
The Incredible Hulk Chapter 19: "Without Incident" (1:44:42 - 1:45:26)
Day B:
Marvel One-Shot - "The Consultant" (0:02:43 - 0:03:08) (Short Film - Thor - Blu-Ray)

Good to be back! I love this.

P.S. I'm barreling right along. Black Widow Strikes #1, page 14, panel 4 looks a lot like Fury's Big Week #1, page 11, panel 1. Is it possible Natasha bangs off to Moscow straight from New York City in early June, 2011? The fact that Moscow has no snow on the ground makes me wonder. Why is Black Widow Strikes in February, 2012 right now? Edit: Oh, Sochi's in "two years." I see. Maybe this whole thing's just a little sloppy.

The dating for The Consultant is based on the likelihood of Ross drinking at the bar to deal with his recent failure to capture the Hulk. It possible it occurs later, but I doubt it occurs a month later, as Ross doesn't seem the type to dwell on his failures for long. Also since Coulson and Sitwell are still in New Mexico it likely occurs in the days after the events of Thor. It's possible they went back to New Mexico later, but that's unlikely, given Occam's Razor and all. Especially since Thor got a Mjolnir back, there's no real reason for SHIELD to remain in NM except to help with clean up of the battle in Thor or to collect the Destroyer armor. But given SHIELD's quick clean up of the Battle of New York (evidenced in the Item 47 One Shot), and the fact the battle in NM from Thor was a much smaller scale, I doubt they'd still be doing so a month later.
 
OK, what you're saying makes sense but I've still got at least one more hole to fill. Iron Man 3 Prelude #1, page 1 has Tony getting a call from Phil "regarding SHIELD consultant business." I think that's an obvious shout-out to "The Consultant"! And we've got that page rightly in July, so it totally fits with that to have "The Consultant" come right after.

I agree that at first glance it looks like Phil and Jasper are at the diner in Puente Antiguo, but it actually looks pretty different side-by-side. They're clearly in the dessert, so I put them in the Mojave on PEGASUS business. That could easily occur in July. And yeah, it doesn't really make sense that Thad is still that beat up about losing Hulk a month later, but it also doesn't make sense that he's that beat up in the first place. He's got Abomination in his custody! What does he have to cry about?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

That's a good point, I'll look into that.

Unfortunately that relies on a lot of assumption. Not to say I don't use assumptions when I have to, I just don't think this is a case where that's necessary.

It makes sense he's depressed over losing Hulk, even though he has Abomination. For him, the Hulk/Bruce Banner personas seem to be interchangeable. He doesn't like Bruce, and has a personal vendetta against him. Having Abomination doesn't necessarily negate that vendetta.


EDIT: Given the Iron Man 3 - Prelude page 2-3 thing with Coulson calling Stark for help, I've altered the placements to reflect that. Of course, it could easily have been a Consultant thing for a variety of other reasons, but I do like it leading into The Consultant One Shot.

I agree with all that as usual. I've gotta admit I'm less interested in being right than in arguing about it. ;)

Is it safe to say that it'll be a 13 episode season like the writers were thinking back in March? http://collider.com/agent-carter-tv-series-christopher-markus-stephen-mcfeely/

Every report I've read has it as 13 episodes, so unless they state otherwise I'm thinking that'll be the end result.

It'll likely be a somewhat expensive show to produce, requiring 1940's era costumes, automobiles, etc, so I can see why a 13 episode season would make sense from a financial standpoint as opposed to a full 22 episode season.

The 13 episode approach also doesn't lock down Hayley Atwell for an entire year (they can probably film the entire season in several months), allowing her to continue taking movie and theater roles besides being stuck with the TV show, which I'm sure was part of her contract. She's not a huge star over here in the US, but I think she's pretty established over in the UK through film and television roles.
 
I wouldn't even mind if it was just one season that covered her career and the start of SHIELD. It doesn't need to be an ongoing show like Agents of SHIELD. It would probably be better for the universe in the long run if it was a tightly written 13-episode series about the beginnings of SHIELD and the growth of Hydra within their ranks.

I agree. I wouldn't mind it going on longer, but I don't see it as necessary.

I just really hope the final episode of Agent Carter jumps ahead 30 years and shows SHIELD recruiting a young Fury. Granted it's not necessary, but it would be a nice element of fan service.
 
Chances are the 13 episodes are temporary. The show is being made without a pilot so they'll put out 13 episodes and if it does well they'll pick it up for a full season.

That's possible, but I'm not sure that'll be the case. It'd be cool if that does happen, but AoS and Agent Carter are both relatively expensive shows to produce, so it may make more financial sense for the half season 13 episode run being the full season for Agent Carter. I suspect ABC will be a bit wary of jumping to a full 22 season order for it due to the ratings for AoS dropping off substantially from premiere to now (though much of that can be attributed to the scheduling and breaks between episodes due to Christmas and the Olympics). Of course Agent Carter may hopefully bring in stronger viewership among female audiences due to the subject matter. We'll have to wait to see how it plays out.

That actually makes me think they would want to put out more than 13 episodes. Once they've got the set and costumes produced, they've got them. Might as well use them.

That said, Game of Thrones is only 10-episode seasons and I'm actually fine with that. So 13 episodes will be great also. I'm hoping they stagger it with SHIELD, though, to plug in the holes for weeks without SHIELD. There were almost exactly 13 weeks between SHIELD's pilot and season 1 finale that didn't have episodes.
