Lost/Timeline 2

This page is a timeline of the events that occurred during season two of Lost. This page contains spoilers. Since there were very many on-screen indications of time and date of the occurrence of events, very little of this page is open to interpretation and additional conjectures. Currently, this article is compiled with information from the episodes themselves and interviews with producers and writers of the show.

For additional information as to the layout of the events on this page, please refer to the Timeline Explanation article which has a complete listing of references of dates and times the timeline pulls information from. This listing became less important in season two, because explicit dates and explicit references to elapsed time were used in some episodes.
