I'm guessing with the time skip, Greg and Brandon probably expected a longer hiatus between season 1 and 2, so thats why they decided to go that route but instead the hiatus was only a week. if the hiatus between the seasons would be longer, lets say 6 months, the timeskip wouldnt feel so shocking..and less rage would be going on...
