I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with meaning? What does that mean?

So, from all the evidence we've been presented so far, they're covereing an average of a day an episode, TVTome and our own Daniel notwithstanding.

More chronology-related dialogue:

In episode three, "Tabula Rasa," Jack had the line "three days ago, we all died." That was at the end of the episode, which I seem to recall was at night.

And in the latest episode (five, "White Rabbit"), Jack said "it's been six days. No one's come." That was at the beginning of the episode, during the day. I don't know if that helps at all. At least one of the five episodes must have spanned a couple days, though, in order for episode five to be on day six.

I still haven't seen 1.05 (White Rabbit) yet, but by Cranberry's accounting, that still seems to be averaging closer to a day an episode (counting 1.01 and 1.02 as seperate episodes).

If it were averaging two days an episode, 1.05 should be covering days nine and ten (or days seven and eight, if we're counting 1.01 and 1.02 as two halves of the same episode, the opposite of how I counted them in the first paragraph).

Maybe they're cover more days an episode later in the season, but for the moment, were closer to my counting average.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm not going to try and pin them on a day count at this early stage. There is no particular reason why the next episode can't suddenly be a week later, then the next one have a graphic that states it is two months later. Lost doesn't so much seem to be about the nuts and bolts of surviving on an island so the time line may not be so important.

The 4 years thing being mentioned a couple times seems to be mighty curious though. There was no random reason for that.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I am storing all the "4 years ago" items in my Epileptic Trees keep-sakes trunk.

There will be one tinfoil beanie awarded for each correct "4 years... Aha!" speculation.
