I feel Season 2 was much weaker than Season 1, or even Season 3... however I like it. I can't shake this feeling that they really don't have good answers for all the major plot lines. I know that no single answer will appear to everyone, but I just have this feeling of "dread" (as much as one can have for a TV show), that at the end we're just going to go "Well that sucked". It would help if they started episodes with more answers than questions. I love a good story, I don't want EVERYTHING... how about just an episode where stuff gets answered instead of new questions... and not answers that are really just more questions. Throw us nice juicy answer bone once and awhile. The thing that pisses me off the most (major spoiler if you haven't seen S2)... they killed off all the "Tailies" that we know of... so what exactly was the point of Season 2? Introducing all these characters, back stories, all for what? We could almost completely take S2 out and not be any further behind. (All of S2 didn't suck... for example, bringing in the Desmond character more, but the whole focus on the Tail section). Anyhow, despite that, I like it, and I feel Season 3 has really picked up.

For example, are we sure the flashbacks actually happened as we see them? Or is this just what the participant thinks happened?

The most interesting thing that was revealed this season is Jacob, who either died a long time ago (you can see him if you freeze frame that episode) or lives in some sort of other dimension. From the Lost podcast, they hint that they won't reveal very much more on Jacob this season, perhaps next. The show is really picking up, the beginning of this season was a bit weak and I was getting worried that they couldn't find a way to make it interesting again.
