I hate that they were only given 7 episodes, I want a few more seasons so they can continue building up suspense and developing chracters. I think this season is going to be almost too fast paced.

I think that they were trying to address what some people thought of as a rather "slow" season the first year.

I know that's what they're doing but to me it loses some of its luster being too action packed.

Last night's episode was good, but I think they're trying to pack in too much into these 7 episodes. I hope they get renewed for another season or two so that they can go back to last year's formula...showing the human element and leaving most things vague until the following episode or slowly explaining them. Basically it feels like they are "dumbing down" the current episodes to get a larger demographic, just my opinion.

What's everyone else's thoughts about last night's episodes?

I had to watch both episodes last night on DVR because I had been on vacation. Here are my thoughts on this season so far:

- There was way too much going on in the first episode, and it confused me the way they opened it (with Constantino and Jake in the house together)
- It bugs me that they essentially picked up the story four months after the New Bern War. Why couldn't they have just played out the war and kept going from there? It's annoying to me that we ended the first season with a shortage of food and resources and everything else, and now suddenly they have everything...liquor, flat screen TVs, medical equipment AND chocolate chips? That army division's made up of miracle workers!
- Jake has been way too scatterbrained in the first two episodes. I get that he's mad about his dad, and I buy that he would want revenge, but he's normally intense and quiet about it...this season he's been crazy, aggressive and foolish.
- I found that I had forgotten too much of the story since the last episode aired SO long ago.
- I'm worried they're going to hook Stanley up with that blonde from the firm that has come in and fixed everything in town (loans, etc.)...just a feeling I have.

I just now watched this weeks ep;WOW.
Reminds me now of the best of B-5 with multi-story arcs and threads.
Great writing.
This is going to be a ride.

OMG and WOW!!!!!!!!!

The episode last night was great, but I hate that it seems they're tying up a lot of loose ends to give closure if they don't get renewed for a 3rd season. I definitely want a 3rd season from them or at least a good movie.

Do you think Beck will help Hawkins and Jake fight against the Cheyene government?

At first perhaps reluctantly, but Beck will true to himself as we have so far seen him.
