Question of the week #35

A lot of the critics have talked this year about things that changed on the show between seasons one and two. What are three changes that you yourself have noticed?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first two seasons in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

I agree with almost all of the above, really, and it's difficult to pick which are the two biggest to go with..

There was no 'insult to the viewer's intelligence' episode in S2 in the way that there was in S1.

S1E9 "Safe House"

There's some nice relationship wrapping at the start and end, but the middle has so much stupidity and so many plot holes.

Obviously I think my ending was better than their one :) and I am not convinced by the 'I fell for someone and..' Claudia storyline, but neither one hurt.

Yeah I basically appreciate that episode for the fried chicken scene and not much else. Well, maybe the scenes with Elizabeth and the kids. Those were nice too in a ghastly parenting in dulcet tones sort of way.
