Pearl.

Season two is very, very different from the first season. It is much darker in the regard that nothing goes according to plan. When things do turn out for the better, it comes at great cost to someone on the island. Some of the things I have to say are this:

-Many new characters being introduced--which is a little disconcerting--leads the viewer to ask if the writers didn't have enough material to make the season last 24 episodes.
-The fact that Sawyer had the upper hand at one point is quickly forgotten as the line of command stays virtually the same.
-The most intriguing aspect of this show is that the story continues to expand itself; stories you thought you knew were only partially told in season one.
-What are the tests the others performed on Walt and why did they suggest that he is far too abnormal for their liking?
-Who will return for season three? The roster is completely up in the air.

Overall, I must say that season two has turned out to be quite a let-down. A lot is to be had in this season, but there is just far too much death for my taste.

  1. I must say I agree about Walt. There's supposedly something mysterious about him, but I have yet to really understand what that is. There was one point in season one (I think) where weird stuff is happening when he's younger. But I don't think it was exaggerated enough to really know what was going on with him. Whatever.
    I LOVE CHARLIE!
