Please try to summarize seasons 1 and 2 of the TV series, Lost, in

I've already gone through them all, and then some. I'd like something
that a human can put together, more concisely.

Season One Premise

"Out of the blackness, the first thing Jack senses is pain. Then
burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the
horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and
crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's
instinct kicks in; people need his help.

Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from
the plane for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on
rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had -- like
Kate, who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing
the doctor's wounds. Hurley ? a man with a warm sense of humor despite
the desperate situation ? does his best to keep his cool as he helps
those around him to survive. Charlie is a faded rock star who harbors
a painful secret. Sayid  is a Middle Eastern man who must wrestle with
the racial profiling directed at him by some of his fellow survivors.
Jin and Sun are a Korean couple whose traditions, values and language
are foreign and thus causes much to get lost in the translation.

Sawyer has an air of danger surrounding him, and his intense sense of
mistrust for everyone around him could prove to be fatal to his fellow
castaways. Michael has just gained custody of his nine-year-old son,
Walt, after the death of his ex-wife ? they are a father and son who
don't even know each other. Locke is a mysterious man who keeps to
himself, and who harbors a deeper connection to the island than any of
the others. And self-centered Shannon? who actually gives herself a
pedicure amid the chaos ? and her estranged controlling brother,
Boone? constantly bicker and must learn to get along if they are to
survive.

The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together
against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay
alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls
of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle, which fill them all
with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of
quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even
heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn."

Season Two Premise

"After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a
Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they
never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the
island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of a mysterious
creature stalking the jungle, as well as a polar bear, a marooned and
possibly crazy French woman, a mystical boar, a mysterious group known
only as "The Others," a ship called The Black Rock and...a hatch.

This season, Jack's mistrust of Locke will grow, as he continues to
question his motives and obsession in uncovering the secrets of the
mysterious hatch. The fates of Sawyer, Michael and Jin will be
revealed after their raft was blown out of the water by "The Others" -
who at the end of last season kidnapped Michael's son, Walt. Sun will
become less dependent on husband Jin and more autonomous, as she
wonders whether he is still alive. Kate's back-story life as a
fugitive will continue to be explored. Charlie will become even closer
with Claire and her baby, Aaron, but the stash of drugs he found in a
statue could seduce him back to a dark life of addiction. The cursed
numbers that turned Hurley's life upside down before the crash will
continue to haunt him as he begins to uncover their meaning. Shannon
will decide where Sayid fits in her life while she continues to grieve
over the death of her brother, Boone, and develops a growing sense of
unease about the raft passengers and their fate. In addition, we
discover that there is at least one more previously unknown survivor
of the crash of flight #815 - Ana-Lucia -- the mysterious woman Jack
met at the Sydney airport bar. And Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje joins the
cast as Mr. Eko, a resident of the island whose story is one of the
mysteries that will be explored as the season progresses.

The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to
work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want
to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 40-plus days
on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those
they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have
secrets."

That summary reads like an advertisement. I'd like if it the summary
was more of as if someone was summarizing Lost from the beginning to
now to me, face-to-face.
