the timeline

I got to thinking about the information given in "Epiphanies" regarding the date. We know that it's been over six months since the miniseries. We also know that the first season spans under two months. From the number of days given, Helo was on Caprica let's estimate 55 days (toward the end of the season it said 52, but I'm not sure we ever got a final count). Let's round that up to two months. So the first season spans two months. Then we have that long 6 or 7 episode arc that closes those stories off. The guys were only on Kobol for a day or three. Kara wasn't on Caprica that long. So all those episodes wouldn't take us much beyond the two months. Fast forward to "Epiphanies". We know this is "weeks" after "Resurrection Ship". Let's be generous and call it a month. That's three months accounted for. But that still leaves a full THREE MONTHS. So "Final Cut", "Flight of the Phoenix", and the Pegasus arc span three months? Do they seem to you like they span three months? We know "Phoenix" takes plce 30 days after Callie is thrown in the brig. Maybe "Phoenix" is a few weeks to build that ship, but come on. Doesn't that leave a full month unaccounted for?

Also, I want to point out that, given the established days, Sharon would be about five months pregnant at this point. For anyone wondering.
