IMO, I don't like the idea of months passing while the heroes have been fighting. Not only does this really hurt the direction I was going with Sam (Michelle, the vamps) but I don't think it makes much sence with what happened in the story. In the story it was set that the heroes were in a dream like state in the Mountains, with real police, people and the kid team watching and wondering what was up. Now, if months have passed. That is really weird with not only the public watching, but with our characters just standing there. No food. No water. No bathroom breaks.
I really think we should have them return only a few hours after they left. In their dream states, hours and even days passed for them. I think it would have a greater effect if these "dreams" only happened in an hour or two as opposed to the [hours, days] they felt passing in the dream world.
Also if a few months passed, Euro and Turner would what be waiting for the team for weeks/months? Hell at that point maybe Walker and the EPS have taken over the world.
Why do we need to match present day/time? This Universe is not our world. Their time can be different. When do we ever state months or dates anyhow (asides the x-mas/new years stories)?
DC Comics have this thing where three years is equal to three months in the heroes time (or used to at least). Yet ever year Superman would still have x-mas stories/specials. If this all was looked at by a time nut, than in the DC Universe, X-Mas is held ever three months. I always enjoyed those stories and didn't mind that DC's time was a little "messed" up.
I think we should have the heroes return the same night that the fight began. Just my opinion though.
