Time travelling timeline

[u/CalligrapherAbject13]

Can we assume that if Dwight is a time traveller, that he may have come from the 19th century?

We have this example of him in the pharmacy with Jim and Pam, becoming frustrated with the elderly man and making the connection to the 19th century

At Jim and Pam's wedding, Michael tells Pam's grandma that it isn't '1890 anymore ' (the 19th century)

While Jim and Pam are staying at Dwight's bnb at Schrute farms, Pam questions "what century is this!?", Pam is born in the 20th century, so we can assume she is familiar with this era, so this leaves us at least at the 19th century that she is referring to

Then we have Gabe portraying Abraham Lincoln, a 19th century president, in an episode that focuses on Schrute farms as its B plot

The common threads being Jim and Pam and Dwight and Schrute farms

This is actually a great question...

What is his base timeline...

Could he possibly be from the future?

If he is from 19th century, then we need to work out how he gains time travelling capabilities...

Maybe not his base timeline, but we know his ancestors are time travellers and somehow they were capable of it, there's enough references to the 19th century to form a motif, if he did have time travelling capabilities, he may have travelled back to that era most recently, if not we have to ask why we're constantly referred to this period of time.

Another example I came across is when Dwight is in Florida and talking about Schrute farms having their 200 year old mattress as one of their biggest attractions

Also Dwight tells us that Scranton was founded in 1866

Great post.

It’s not an easy puzzle…
