I'm something of a professional Lost hater, having given it up at the start of season 2 due to suckage and a crisis of confidence in JJ. I felt vindicated for about a year while ratings slipped as many came to the same conclusion, but now I'm afraid I'm missing out. It really sounds like they have turned things around (and it's summer, baseball bores me, so there's nothing else to watch).

So, my question to you -- can I just pick up with Season 3 and get caught up to speed, or do I really need to watch all of Season 2?
