Well I'm about half-way through Lost Season 2 now and I hav to admit - it's pretty fricking awesome. The creators have created a wonderful distraction regarding the Island in the form of the Others.
A majority of the season is about establishing boundaries, from what I can tell. The Island's "rules" are being explored - what it can and can't do, what is kind of going on... in the process, there have been some odd inconsistencies - or hints that the whole DHARMA link is not what it seems.
On one level it seems to be shaping up into a battle between the Good and Evil within all of us - with many of the characters becoming nastier and less likeable as they are forced into doing things that they wouldn't have done before. The gilligan's island type tone of the survivors is beginning to buckle against the greed and desperation of some of the group.
This is quite cool.
I still want to find out what the HELL is going on, and while it is fun to speculate - I certainly wouldn't want season three to be more of the same. Season two is doing a good job of moving the story along and dropping a great number of hints about what is happening. But I'm not buying the whole "it's not supernatural" theme that some people are thinking. There are too many coincidences and moments in the character's flashbacks that say to me that something much deeper is at play here.
But it certainly is fun getting there. :)
