Sadly, season 2 was weak - My review overall

[oracle1]

I think saeson two of dark oracle was amazing compared to the first. The first season was also incredible because that is what got me hooked into Dark Oracle in the first place. This seasone did feel kinda rushed, but there were only about thirtten episodes, which isn't much, so they probably had to squeeze as much stuff as they could into the little amount of episodes they had. I think the relationships of the characters were good to have because, like all great shows with supernatural twists, it's importanat to see how the characters deal with the supernatural events in their lives, but at the same time, see how they deal with their personal struggles. There should be a balance of personal and supernatural conflicts. I think that this is proven at the season finale where cally comes home at she has to deal with her mother argueing with her b/c she was out late, losing her brother in the comic and getting a week's detention for Violet's chaos, as well as her love triangle with Omen and Emmett, but this is just an example. Lance, Sage and Dizzy have also dealt with their own personal and supernatural problems such as relationships, phyiscal appearance (Sage in the dance episode), and also school and the need to fit in. These problems are what make the characters seem more real and more relatable, which I think is important for the audience to see.
As for the supernatural things in the show, such as Violet, Blaze and evil Sage crossing over, I think each of those stories borught humour in some way if you really think about it. This show is probably the best canadian tv show i've seen so far and proves how much talent canadians have, Degrassi is also good. This season of Dark Oracle has been very entertaining and just flat out kewl, and the hard work that the cast and crew put into each episode is evident in every episode of both this season and the last.

*Props to people like Jana and Anomaly for their hard work!

What I think is interesting is that while the OP considers the talky bits of the show to be filler they also felt that the season itself was too fast paced. Quite an interesting clash of feelings, imo!

I think most people would consider the "filler" as the essential meat of the show, the reason why you even CARE what happens to these characters. If they just ran around fighting evil, but you didn't see them have lives to fight for, why would you care whether or not they win (or lose)? On that same note, as Anomaly posted, the introduction to the comic and it's potential was created in the first season, but now these kids are going to cease to exist, and be replaced by alter-egos. They really are fighting for their lives, while trying to maintain the facade of a normal life. That's pretty intense stuff, it's not just an inconvenience for them anymore. Top if off with a fairly short air length and you're going to have a lot going on.

It's unfortunate that the OP feels that this season was weak compared to the last. I only saw the original pilot from the first episode, but saw S2 in it's entirety, and as someone who is coming in with only an overview of the show concept (and not the gritty details of what happened previously) I felt that these episodes were really quite fun and allowed the characters to really consider their boundaries, not something you see very often on a youth show (besides DeGrassi).

Ah well, can't please em all.

I am really impressed by all these oppinions , you guys really know what you are talking about. I loved season 2 so much , season one was great , but not as good as 2 (plz dont flame me!). Any way now that we have been introduced (s1) and have seen the actual flipping of lives , a collision of worlds , where is there left to go ? please , I hope one of those great writers of the show have an answer to that burning question , because I would be very disappointed if it didnt come back for season 3 . unfortunately I have to wait till saturday to see the last ep , so if it ends in a cliffhanger , I beleive thats a very good sign.
