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'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.

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.
