^ Yep, I know. That's why I never believed it had something to do with it being 3 years after TDI. I always believed Chtis (or someone else) must have discovered the island a long time ago and it was when Chris & Larry have been there (possibly a year before the show started). However, I've seen a lot of fans who think differently.

As for your timeline, it's great, I've always wanted to write a blog about timeline in TD universe. But wouldn't it start in 2007 since the show premiered in 2007 in Canada? I mean, it'd make sense for the show to premiere in 2007 in-universe as well. Not to mention it had to be recorded before airing in TV, like other TV shows. So, the only thing I'd change would be to make everything you said happen a year before. Also, I'm not sure whether Heather's hair could fully grow up between TDWT finale and TDRI premiere if that was the case.
