I completely disagree. I was one of the the ones complaining about the slow pace of the show, and now this season the first two episodes moved so fast it's almost hard to keep up. Yeah, there's no definitive answers to the mysteries of the island, but things are happening fast. I'm not sure what else people expect.
I'm enjoying it so far this season, but right now they seem to have fallen back to the pattern of the original season; namely, instead of pushing the plot forward they busy themselves with introducing new characters complete with back stories (or forward stories this time, maybe?).
I get the sense of them dropping crumbs toward the internet crowd, such as with the 'what's the black smoke monster' question. That came off as pretty silly, I thought, and just served to point out how silly it can be to try to break down and explain every little thing this mess has thrown out there over the years. It's like if you try to explain the show to someone who's never seen it. It doesn't really sound as cool as it seems to be when you are taking the actual ride. Plus, that question had the real feeling of being decided by an internet contest: 'if you could hold a gun to Ben's head, and ask him one question about the island, what would you ask? Vote now and win a free trip to Hawaii to appear as a luggage-wielding extra on the beach in a future episode!'
Now, if he had asked 'what's with the big four-toed foot?' I would have been much happier!
But yeah, I have enjoyed the last two episodes. And me too: who is 'Cheech?'
