Timeline gaps

There is an interesting discussion going on at the Battlestar Wiki about Epiphanies, and the BSG series timeline. It seems there is now a missing 2 month period in the timeline.

Maybe the gap can be explained by the dynamics of FTL travel? Or why not speculate that there is a missing two months so that at some point the producers can film episodes, or a movie filling in the missing 2 months, and call them the lost episodes? That might be a fun way out of it.

Or they could go the Star Trek route, and say that for two months they were trapped in some kind of spacial anomaly or proto-black-hole type of thing that froze the Galactica fleet for two months, or they ended in up a Groundhog Day quantum event that caused them to become unstuck, or stuck, in time, as the case may be, for 2 months?

Makes sense to me.

There are also excellent overviews of Epiphanies here and here.
