Now, I can't choose?
I really didn't like season 2 per se as compared to season 1. Season 1 was really interesting. Season 2 answered some questions but most of the time, I'm cluless. __________________

Season two seemed more like an experiment that included too many elements that the writers weren't absolutely certain how to bring everything together in a concise way.

I don't think they havethe exact answers to what they were doing. I thought, maybe they'll think of something as the story unfolds but not concrete planning had been executed. I mean, I love the episodes and how they've done them, but if you look at it in a broader aspect, it's not very much clear. __________________

Not to mention, by the latter part of S2, it's almost like the writers forgot they had a finale they needed to write, or that they needed to start setting up plots to be expounded on in S3. I wish I knew what happened? __________________

I kinda thought that Ana and Libby's deaths were just out of the blue decision.
Shannon's death should've had a lot of impact and a better storyline for both the original castaways and the tailies but instead of delving into that, they used a different approach - acceptance. That perhaps made the season less enthusiastic. __________________

Aside from the fact that this season killed off characters i liked, the character and plot development was all over the place. The story would dramtically shift focus, just drop all together, or change without a reasonable explanation to justify it! Sorry, but the latter part of this season left me with the impression that the writers have no real plan nor goal in mind and are winging the story as they move along! Granted, writers never have "everything" set in stone and there are always twist and turns throughout the plot development; however, season one appeared to have a direction/focus! Even with all of the unanswered questions in place!
For example...let's take the "monster." Season 1 displayed an invisible-like force that could thrash loudly throughout the jungle and took up space. It carried a life-threatening presence and intimidated the crash survivors on several occasions after killing the pilot from the plane. However, somehow, the "monster" managed to transform into a "black smokey entity" floating around the jungle in season 2. Now, i realize, the black smoke first appeared in the end of season one when it first attacked Locke but at that time i was left speculating were the "monster" and "the black smoke" two different concepts alive on the island? Then, season 2 came and along with it Eko. Eko and his confrontation with the "monster." So, i'm still waiting for the explanation on how the "monster" concept started out as an invisible, life-threatening "security system" and transformed into a black smokey entity that can apparantly read the "souls" of our survivors? There has been no justification to explain the sudden shift/change. __________________

The black smoke and Eko's confrontation with it was intriguing but it just looked like a new concept compared to what we were introduced to in the pilot episode. And you did bring up another good point...why didn't anyone else have more confrontations with the "monster"? In season one, it was roaming freely and very close by to the fusies side of the island...we even saw it thrashing through the tops of the trees a couple times. I mean, "it" seems to have become awefully quiet for something that is suppose to be acting as a security system? It also would have been interesting to know if the "tailies" had ever encountered anything like it on their side of the island? Was that really the first time Eko saw/heard it? Maybe it was just the first time he had a direct encounter with it like Locke did? __________________

Yeah, it would have been fascinating to see if the "Tallies" had their own experience with the "monster" in whatever form it took. Even if we didn't see the actual incident, Ana Lucia and Jack talking about it would have been intriguing if for no other reason to know what they each thought it was, and why it was so gone quiet so suddenly.
Also, the monster very well could have come up in conversation when Locke and Mr. Eko were on Mr. Eko's adventure and they discovered the Pearl station. Lord knows there was enough strange phenomenon transpiring between the two with interlocking dreams and exchange of faiths. Eh... Quote:
