Please no, please no...

 Judging from this sneak peak: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCG-abq3vQM (SPOILERS!)

The writers may be as comfused as the prop department as to what year it is....I really hope no one actually SAYS it's 2010 on the show...because seriously, am I the ONLY ONE WHO KEEPS TRACK OF THE TIMELINE ON THIS SHOW!?!?! The comment in the clip is completely recoverable from though, just as long as no one says it's 2010, I'll be happy....

Someone needs to petition the show to hire me - they need someone to keep them from making idiotic mistakes....like saying something takes place a year later and yet only placing it 4 months later...ugh.

I did not look at the clip (trying to not do spoilers) but I had a thought about the timeline problem the big 'October 2010' calendar presented in 6.06. I actually thought I needed to run this past you when it occurred to me...

First, the camera shot of that calendar was very deliberate. I have a hard time thinking it was a mistake. So I wonder if it was a message to those of us who take our timelines very seriously. It felt to me like we were being told, "Look, we know we said Sam hunted alone for a year, which would mean he came back in May 2011, but it's just too much work to keep thinking to move everything 18 months later than current time, so we aren't going to bother. Pretend a year went by intellectually but we're only going to worry about six months and ignore the paradox."

The only way to timeline this would then be to have everything up to Swan Song as year 2010-A, and then Exile on Main Street takes place in 2010-B, with 2010-B theoretically 18 months after 2010-A.

I really wish you would be hired to keep things straight for the rest of us...

I just think it didn't even occur to them...they always write/make props according to the predicted air-date of the episode...so I think they are just keeping with that habit and not even thinking about the actual time passage in the story...

I'm beginning to think my S6 timeline will have to have a "logical" version and an "as seen on the show" version :P It's either that or I just declare there to be two 2010s, like you did...I don't know. Sigh...

I'm leaning toward Season 6 actually taking place on the wrong side of a quantum mirror and RoboSam actually being a Replicator. But I've already got one Stargate crossover AU, so....

Haha, that is not one of my fandoms, so I'll just take your word for it ;)
