I'd concede that, in retrospect, season 1 appears to being a more coherent story overall. Season 2 had a bunch of threads that went nowhere… but on every other level, season 2 beats season 1 easily.

"Nice to meet you, Barry."
"People call me… FLASH!"
"Good for you, now can you pull your pants up?"

They've fixed the majority of problems now: the cast has expanded with solid characters, the storylines are rolling along and crossing in interesting ways, and now we have a three-way alliance of motivated villains with the promise of said alliance imploding tossed in for good measure. I agree with the reviewer that…

Doing that swimming pool scene without bursting out laughing is proof of his skill as a performer.

At least she didn't go into crouch-pose for no good reason this time. Alfred will be needing a water pistol to stop her from getting on the furniture.

You'd think the constant coin tossing was a blunt enough, but they can't even pretend to leave these characters room to develop. What's the point in this prequel thing if every character is showing up fully formed? Are we just waiting to see how they come up with their costume designs?

Nope. Still mediocre at best.

"And it was very convenient not only that he managed to get his hands on a cellphone (from the guy he throttled?) but that he somehow managed to remember Carrie's cellphone number."

"Did the show give us a view into her transformation from a walking plot point reminder to 'badass?' What struggles did she go through…"

“Go ahead, say it. I sent him to his death.”
“We all did.”

why would recently-patched Rat betray the club?

Throwing Equalists vs. Fascists makes sense.

Ohhhh… I thought the question mark on his coffee cup was because he couldn't remember how to write his name.

"Dawn of the Old Masters" it is then.

No, but someone over there did say it was Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in D Major, titled "Titan". So it was meant to be evocative of Greek mythology, not scifi… though one may have influenced the other.

At least John Hodgman wasn't there to pull all her teeth.

I'm probably alone on this… but did anyone else think the music cue during the television scene was threatening to become the Star Trek TOS theme? I think that TV really was from the future!

And it'll make your tribemates look so tasty.

I think they really should have to vote for someone on their tribe to be eliminated… in return for that player's body weight in rice. It would officially introduce a cannibalism option into Survivor.
