It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

The evil is this way?

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?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You know, it would be kind of cool to have a "Millennium" reference. I think I'd dig that.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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."

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.)

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, we lost half of the punchline to last week's Desperate Housewives. SO not amused.
