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.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.
'Serenity'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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?

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.

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.)

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