The magic that this program had in the first season has dissipated precariously in Season 2. It's as though the Montana winter has frozen the creativity of the screen writers who now seem to assume that the show can rest on its slowly thawing laurels.

What this show as devolved into is a series of mini-crises: one mini-crises resolving into another min-crisis, all of which seem quite fabricated - nothing that really adds to the overall plot - but instead, seems only to push a rather boiler-plated pseudo-drama forward at a snail's pace. I swear, it's like the series creators are just filling time. There is nothing that novel or innovative, nothing special stands out. Season 2 is devoid of everything that made Season 1 simply wonderful.

It's tepid. It's gotten boring. It's predictable.

I can probably sketch out the rest of this season myself and probably be pretty accurate - a lot more of languid plot which isn't developing much at all.

It's sad. It's as though the life is draining out of what once were vibrant characters in a landscape which had infinite possibilities at character development.

What happened to this show? It's become a caricature of itself. That's not a good thing.
