I didn't find that subtle.
Psst. Sarcasm.
Locke has been in a wheelchair for four years, and Sawyer said, when Kate fell on top of him, that he wished he'd this had been his birthday wish 4 years ago.
le nubian, that jumped out at me too, and I am very much waiting for the other people's Four Years Ago mentions. The thing is, they might all end up being connected, and it could work for the fourteen we know, but it's going to be more of a stretch to make all forty-sevenish of them have a connection when we don't know the others' stories. The connection may be more tenuous, though. Something Big happened to each of them four years ago. Which would have been 2000, which suggests either crazy millennium action or wacky election hijinks.
Seems to me like everyone has a thing for Kate.
Well, she's hot. It happens.
So, I'm surfing over to futoncritic.com and found on the front page a mention of ABC shows going over (and sometimes under) the 60 minute threshhold. This is a "no duh" to me because they've been doing it for 3-4 weeks but nice to know my Tivo isn't crazy.

I wonder if others will have mention something happening to them 4 years ago?
Say, they weren't all working for the Board of Elections in Florida 4 years ago, were they? Could they be the ones with the Missing Chads?
You know, it would be kind of cool to have a "Millennium" reference. I think I'd dig that.
I so wanted the man in the suit to be Lance Henrikssen.
Sean, I think Daniel posted once that each episode was supposed to be two days, and the season being forty days. Also, I came across that info on TV Tome as well.
It remains that in the first ten minutes of Episode 4 (which, if we were going at two days an episode, should cover days seven and eight), Jack, while discussing the need to burn the bodies, says:
"It's been four days."
....which means that Episode 4 takes place almost entirely on Day 5 at the latest.
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.

Sean, the pilot was split up. The pilot (eps 1 and "2") was two days, and ep 3 (the Kate episode) was two days, and thus at the beginning of "Walkabout," it has been four days. There, I knew the dialogue made it make sense to me.
(I'm about to go grocery-shopping, so if you present conflicting evidence, I won't see it till I get back.)
Yeah, we lost half of the punchline to last week's Desperate Housewives. SO not amused.
If I find the original reference, I'll post it.
Eek! I'm all italicy!
