Spent this weekend getting caught up on season 2 (had only seen the season premiere), and holy crap, so good. A couple of the long episodes probably could have stood to have been cut a little bit shorter, but that's about my only complaint. It's a testament to this season's work with the ancillary characters that they were able to pull last week's episode off and keep us engrossed for the full hour, I don't think an Elliot-less episode would have worked last year.
