Over here in the UK we have just seen the last episode of season 2 .
I say this is so but I'm not absolutely sure since next Tuesday they are
continuing (presumably) straight into the third season. Anyhow the episode
in question is where Leland kills Maddy and we finally know the awful
truth (well some of it at least :-).

I have heard that there are 22 episodes left of which you people in the
states will have seen 14 but I would like some sort of confirmation of that.

I can only think of one instance where the BBC have axed a show mid-season
but I have no idea how prevalent such a philosophy is in the states.
I would think that if they start showing the third season they will have a
hard time justifying cancelling it at a future date since it is relatively
low in the popularity stakes in the UK as well as the USA at the moment.

Any information would be gratefully received.

Mike.
