By treating season two as if it were a new novel.......Thomas chose to practically disregard the emotional fall-out of so, so much that happened plot-wise in the first season instead of picking up those threads... he kept the same characters, but treated them mostly as if the events of the first season hadn't happened.
YES! Your theory is spot on in that regard. The second season just felt so detatched from the first. And I for one could just not get over how easily Veronica and Duncan brushed aside the possible incestery of their relationship, the break-up via avoidance, and the rape that wasn't, and just seemed to pick up right where they left off. It's like there was no emotional baggage at all for either of them or between them, and that was just wrong. It completely undermined all that had happened in the season before.
