lost season two

i have survived LOST Season Two with nary a scratch (*rubs eyes*), as "exciting" as it all was, mayhap tis lost (*nudge-nudge*) it's lustre that had shone brightly in Season One (IMHO) - i realize i begin not to care about the characters and what happens to then (except for Michael's betrayal - which came too early in the series, and could've been the cliffhanger instead, IMHO) and the low-key (at least for me) cliffhanger at episode 24 (and yes, maybe i am demanding), four-toed statue notwithstanding.

one thing i realized (and thoroughly believed) was the utter discomfort and displeasure of having seen (prior to this sit-down viewing), a couple of disjointed episodes on the telly and hence had disrupted my viewing pleasure of the dvd-set by waiting for the events to unfold prior or after that which i had see before, in disembodied-sequences, no less! ... *never again, for season 3* = either i see the entire season at a go, or wait for the dvd.

and dammit, im trying hard to NOT go read the IGN Top 50 Loose Ends for the recently ended LOST Season 3 (i did, and maybe it wasn't so boring after all, innit?) ... and frankly, if i hadda wait til the dvds come out for season 3, i'd rather follow-up on some other series (ie: somehow get Battlestar Galactica Season 2 on the cheap ;p) *heh*
