Yep, for me the show really started to fall off in episode 6. Prior to episode 6 I was really into it. There was still that thrill of discovery that you mention that made season 1 so interesting but episode 6, 7, 8, and even 9 dragged on with so many seemingly unnecessary scenes that didn't add much to the story and others that seemed overly extended in my opinion or just to cliche.
Also, how do you start off season 2 with a "new" character while making the audience feel that character will have a relevant and probable significant roll in the season only to have that character only seen once again in that easily forgettable and almost unconnected to the story all together episode 7.
Still enjoyed it overall though and the actual plot line and ending were decent. It's probably difficult to write nine good solid episodes in at this point with the audience having already discovered the gist of the unknown plaguing these characters from season 1. At this point it probably would be better suited for a movie or mini series if you wanted to continue the story.
