TV: “Lost” Season One vs. Season Two

I’ve heard quite a few die-hard “Lost” fans complain that season two is not quite as gripping as season one. Actually, I think season two is much improved.
As someone who only starting seriously watching “Lost” once the season one DVD came out, I’d like to make the following observations:

TV: “Invasion” Picks Up the Pace

ABC’s “Invasion” has gotten some mixed reviews (some think it’s a bit too slow), but finally, we are seeing some pay-off.

A MUD or Multi-User Dungeon is an online text-based adventure game where you interact with other players online. [...]

TV on DVD: “Jeremiah”

“Jeremiah” is a post-apocalyptic television series set about 15 years in the future after a plague wipes out the adult population of the world. Those of the “age of innocence” (children before puberty) survive the plague. Now those kids have grown up and the world is a much different place…
The series first aired on Showtime [...]
