The second season of the American

television series Lost commenced airing in the United States and Canada on September 21, 2005, and concluded on May 24, 2006.

The producers have stated that as the first season is about introducing the survivors, the second season is about a 1970s scientific Dharma Initiative research station which the survivors discovered on the island and refer to as "The Hatch".[1]
The second season aired Wednesdays at 9:00 pm in the United States. In addition to the regular twenty-four episodes (with a run time around 42 minutes each), three
