Claire in particular has just become annoying. The second half of the season is a lot better and I'm feeling hopeful for season 3 - Villains Dealga - I have to say that I found the first half of season 2 quite slow and a bit boring.

I'll catch it later on, but I'm glad to hear you think it's better than the earlier feedback, which - if I'm correct - came from the show's writers.

Being a good non-pirate I'm watching on C6. Have to say the criticisms you referred to a while back were a little harsh. Despite the appalling Irish accents.

Technically moving consciousness might not be considered time travel by some (Shirley McLaine after all would regard it as natural though she made sure her past self was finished before moving on)and I'm sure we're going to get quantum entanglement references in the next while. And isn't Daniel Faraday simply channelling Brad Pitt's character from Twelve Monkeys? Personally, I watched the X-files for the sly references to Mulder's porn addiction and Scully's promiscuity.

I think it was the episode that a black gas killed Mr. Ecko. That was enough for me. Deus ex machinas are generally seen as cliches and should be avoided but this show built its whole plot around them, which was what really annoyed me.
