This seems terribly naive. (c.f. 'The UNIT Dating Problem' in Dr Who.)
Bollocks to the unit dating problem. B7 series one was written by and scriptedited by the same two people. The UNIT dating problem came about because Super Fan Ian Levine, who was acting as unofficial historian at the time for Dr Who, didn't know his arse from his elbow.
You're the guy who pointed out that "the death of Anna" scene in ROD could have been done a lot more realistically, aren't you? You're a smart guy, but you've missed something. The reason it was done that way, was because the story was going out before the nine o'clock watershed. If you are going to have a story which ends with a man brutally gunning down his ex- girlfriend in that timeslot, then you are going to have to tone it down somewhat, or risk Mary Whitehouse blocking the switchboards again.
