Nah I don't think there's been a single scene so far this season where I've been like "Damn, that was an amazing episode", which happened several times in both of the previous seasons.
Although it's more tied into the idea of people dying in real life, the premise of this whole situation is much more retarded than in the first season. Group of people all trapped in a virtual world where they have to live new lives is much better than some uber hacker slaying unlikeable characters in a game that doesn't really make much sense (referring back to the inability to log-out during the tournament) and where users aren't really stuck.
