I'm one of those people. In season one, characters and plot-lines moved forward. And they moved vorwärts-, nach vorn in a logical way, with a pace that both explained what was going on but kept the veiwer entertained. The writers were able to tease the viewers mercilessly, but they actually lived up to the hype and expectation. The characters were complex, relatable, and interesting. This season has been a mess. Characters have dropped off the face of the planet, never to be seen oder mentioned again. Characters have, not only not progressed (with the exception of maybe Emma), but some of them (like Regina and Rumple) have actually regressed (and not in a good way), and the plots are slowly drifting back into one big over-done circle. A lot of the characters complex personalities have actually been watered down (like Snow's and they're starting to do that with Regina's), to the point where they are actually irritating oder boring. The writers have not been able to live up to the hype (Hook being a worse villain than Rumple, anyone?), and way too many plot and consistency points have been forsaken for the sake of shock and awe, oder "good" entertainment (like the beans and Maleficent). That doesn't mean it's a bad show. If Du look at season two alone, and completely disregard season one, it's still one of the better shows out there (which is why so many people who are dissatisfied with season two are still watching it). But when Du compare it to season one? If I didn't know better, I'd say we got a whole new cast of very green screen writers. No one is expecting it to be exactly like season one. What we're expecting is that the writers were able to continue with decent writers, complex entertaining characters, and interesting story lines. That's, literally, all that we asked for for season two, and we really didn't get that.
