Lost - Season Two (NO SPOILERS)

Can anyone tell me how mant episodes there are in the new series of Lost? The reason I ask is it looks like I am going to have to record them for one of my relatives, so I'd like to know how much effort will be involved; not that I object, I will be avidly watching them myself.

It gets kinda slow for the start/middle of the season but dont worry. It picks up towards the end

blimey that was quick - nice one Stu

I'm pleased that it is reverting to, effectively, one new episode a week, though - 3, all at once, to start was quite a lot to take in.

One of the things that you discover when recording programmes is the amount of time that the adverts take up. In the case of Lost, it's only about 42 minutes without the adverts, and that reduces to nearer 35 minutes when you take off the "Previously in Lost" bit. I remember that there were complaints about this during the last series.

We are up to show 20 in the USA. I think its 23. But the last show in the season is double length

Stuart · 08-05-2006, 19:39

My mistake. Paul is right, it is 23.

**Damien** · 08-05-2006, 19:50

There are 24 shows worth but the last two shows are aired as one. So the 23rd show will be twice as long. That is only in the states as far as I know so it is possible channel 4 could do 24 shows

To think some people have already seen them all !!!
We'll be into the autumn / winter when it finishes on channel 4.

Well, 23 weeks from the start of the series on c4 takes us to 10 October, but that doesn't allow for any schedule changes they might make. They have already done one double bill, which brings the end forward to 3rd Oct and I won't be surprised if they do more. I suspect it will be all over sometime in late September.

None of this is unusual for those of us used to following shows like Star Trek and Stargate on Sky One.
