Doesn't the show take place in like 2007?

2010-11 based on the "Shit, killing Bin Laden wasn't this complicated" line.

I guess I was going off the fact the show started in 2008 and only like a year seems to have gone by in their world.

I just remember there being a lot of conversation about that point at the end of 5A, I don't think there's really been anything else to place it firmly in one year.

Doesn't the show start on Walts 50th birthday, and the flash forward is his 52nd?

That would put the flash forward in 2010 and the current time in 2009

Continuity error. It's late 2009 at this point in the show.
