I agree with him to a point. The Season 1 had such an impact that I can tell you each and every episode and what happened in order, for the most part.
This season is just all jumbled too me. The first episode was solid. And it's great and all we are finally finding out answers to questions and stuff but I don't know.
I had with what they've done with Sayid. He's pretty useless at this point. Kate/Sawyer is fine, Hurley/Libby is fine...Charlie/Claire I do not give a shit what happens. Rose/Benard would be a lot more appealing to hear about then that. Jack/AL is okay but whatever.
I've got a bad feeling Locke is going to turn on us, and everyone would fucking hate that. And I think if Jack turned everyone would hate that too. I can see the "Kate's with the others oh my god" twist at some point in the season and that wouldn't be that bad. But it would be cool as hell if someone in the group has been a spy for quite a bit of time, and someone we know and wouldn't expect.
I've been also semi-dissapointed in the monster to a point because I don't think it's the same vision that they originally chose to have when they first had the Pilot eaten by it.
I think that it will pick up soon, but Season 1 was better than this Season. And I also think that with all the success and publicity the show got it's starting to go in more of a corporate direction and I think some of the stuff they put on TV is what ABC thinks is good, and not Damon.
And it probably doesn't help JJ Abrams isn't really involved with the show anymore on a regular basis.
