guys, someone asked the official podcast on ask the producers if Connie and Jason would happen and they said no! Even the producers agree with us!!!!

No they said maybe. Maybe.

What was the exact quote?

I don't know, but anyways it is extremely unlikely, so Scientific Guy you are added to the club.

Ok guys lets evaluate this. Jason is old enough to be Connie's grandpa! So Jerry served in world war two. World War two went from 1939-1945. Jason was at least 11-12 during the whole thing guess because he was in middle school and middle schoolers are 11-13. So we know Jason was lets say 13 in 1945. Add and subtract all of that and we see that Jason is 85. Connie is only around 20-25. That's kinda creepy if you ask me!

Jerry served in Vietnam, and we don't know for a fact that Odyssey time is real time. I think it'd be a bit odd if Jason was 85, seeing as it'd probably make Whit in his 110s or so. I personally still think the age gap makes a difference, but it's not that simple.

Oh yeah I forgot it was the war! Sry. Whit served in world war two. My bad. That makes Jason from 65-45. That's still kinda weird?

It could, but again, Odyssey time isn't necessarily real time. The show doesn't have to be set in the year 2018 just because the year currently is 2018. The writers have always been clear on that, and the Odyssey Time thread over in the Front Counter subforum has some of the theories.

SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY!!!
Add me in!

Do you guys realize just how weird it would be if Jason suddenly decided to like Connie after all this time??
And it's gross. Jason is way too old. Also, I don't think he and Connie would complement each other, neither is very level-headed.

That is so true. However, Jason is a bit more level-headed than he used to be....

Yeah... that tends to happen when a person turns about 60.

Jason isn't 60, he is in his 40's as tiger has stated several times, and then I figured out the Odyssey is currently in 2004 or somewhere around there.

Right... Because 12 year olds were texting each other pictures that they found on the Internet in 2004.

Because VR technology like the Imagination Station existed in 1987. They're barely able to make advances like that now, actually. When you've got that, I can believe in a world where smartphones were around in the 90s.

Hm. Yeah you've got a point there. Did you count the Christmases though? I tried doing that at one point, but I don't remember how many episodes there were. There might be too many.

It doesn't work though, and there is a confirmation of it being 2002 in Last Chance Detectives: Mystery of the Lost Voices.

I'm not a Jason/Connie shipper, but I sort of realize using their age difference isn't the best argument. If Jason was 60, Connie would be in her 40's, and Whit would be at least 90.

Odyssey time is still a mess, and some things canonically took place in the eighties or nineties, because they were written then.
The main thing about the ship I struggle with, is that Jason and Connie need and want very different things, they're at different stages in their lives.

Yep, GFJH you are added.
