The end of season 2 improved, I think. I loved having the focus on Owen for so many episodes in the later part of it; he was such a great character, and the finally did something interesting to him... even if that something was kind of weird. ALSO the episode where he couldn't save the old man because he didn't have breath for CPR was just ridiculous. If he was taking, he was clearly breathing. I mean. Come on.
"Fragments" was a lovely episode. I really enjoyed getting to see everyone's backstory (including the pterodactyl!), and I wish they hadn't waited until that late in the process to give us some of those nice details that helped make the characters feel more real. It almost felt like they stuck that one in at the end just to heighten the emotional connections in time for the deaths in the next episode.
The finale was a bit of a let-down, I found. Jack's backstory is not easy to connect to emotionally. The only time we really ever heard about his brother was in "Adam," and then at the end he shows up and it's supposed to be a big deal. I mean, as far as evil plots go, his was fine, but the fact that he was Jack's brother didn't add much to it, in my opinion.
