The episodes from the first three seasons in which Zen does not appear are:
- The Way Back
- Space Fall (he's there, and the defense mechanism is working, but he hasnot yet manifested himself)
- Countdown
- Gambit
- City at the Edge of the World
- Rumours of Death
Zen says, "Confirmed" a total of 128 times in 33 episodes, giving an averageof around 3.88 times per episode.
The most common number of times he says it per episode (the mode, for thosestatisticians among you) is 2.
The most times in one episode is 19 in Terminal, followed by 14 inRedemption, and in Project Avalon he doesn't say it at all (off day?).
