Season 2 was just... I mean, as a fan since the beginning, watching S1 as it came out was the most rewarding experience. Every episode of S2 was far less exciting to watch, and there were too many continuity gaps.
But I mean, I'm pretty sure S2 was both of your first seasons (that you watched as it came out), and generally your first season is the most special to you, especially in a fandom as interactive as Glee. You watch trailers, hear (or try to avoid) spoilers, etc.
