So, while I love that last scene, I don't like how it narrows the time period by giving us a specific date it must be after.
It was meant to suggest a time, and so did go against the idea that the show wasn't tied to a specific date. However, as has been discussed on several other threads, if we accept other things about the series that go against our current understanding of the way the universe works, and come up with ways to explain them, then we can probably find some way to make the message "time-less"
