Pros

- The season finale, which ranks as one of my all time favorite episodes. 
- The mythos is expanded as we see forces outside the dome begin to make moves and some hints about what's to come are peppered throughout the season.
- I was a little skeptical about the addition of new characters, but they ended up working out fairly well overall.

Cons

- A lot of the episodes in the first half of  the season suffer from excessive goofiness, stupid characters, and wonky writing.
- Rebecca Pine had some missteps early on, but she did get better.
- While lives were always at stake, you could argue that this season took the "kill characters for dramatic effect" too far as the kill count for recurring characters is uncharacteristically high.
-I'm no science expert, but a lot of what comes up here is questionable to say the least.


Overall


Both seasons have been mixed bags, but the first season was more consistent.  Once the ball got rolling here, it got a lot better, but you have to plod through some nonsense to get to that point.
