So that's why you're seeing a pretty big difference in the first six episodes of season one to the first set of episodes of season two to what has transpired since the season two break. From the sounds of it, they've finally secured a writing team (the one from the last half of Season Two) for the next season and there is a more focused arch for the season. I like the pace and intensity that this group of writers has added to Season 2.5. So I'm glad they are staying on as the project moves forward.
There are some elements of season one which were horrible, but it was easy to forgive because it was a simple transition for an introduction to the whole show. The beginning of Season two was a bit difficult, but I've really enjoyed this last section of the season. Better pace, better conversations, and I like how it's deviated from the original source material. It just all feels like it's more thought out and put together than before.

The show was pretty hit and miss for me for the first 1.5 seasons, then it just turned it up to the point I can't wait until next season. Its not always the best written or acted show but its worthwhile sticking with some of the weaker moments or episodes to get to the great moments.
