Not too big on this season so far. It seems scatterbrained and all over the place.
What made season one so great is that there was a clear beginning and end, and they dropped nice little breadcrumbs to follow along the way. Just enough to tease you with the promise of more. They're already a few episodes into this season and I still have no idea what the purpose of everything is -- it seems to change from episode to episode. And there's way too much going on at once. They really need to slow it the hell down and establish some sort of end goal...
It reminds me of what made the first Matrix good and the next two crap. The first one was mysterious and exciting as new pieces of the puzzle were revealed and in the next two someone figured that everyone loved the special effects and fighting so much that'd they'd fill a two hour movie with almost nothing but that and disregard everything that made the original great.
