Boone and his pretty pretty eyes! And how he followed Locke around like a puppy.
As for Lost itself, I watched the entire first season in 2 weekends (the second half, in fact, I sat down and pretty much watched straight through, pausing to sleep and eat, etc). At the end of the second season, my first thought was "...I think these people are just pulling shit out of their ass". Then I put up with the first 8 eps of season 3 because D&C promised that they'd resolve the stupid stupid love triangle. And then they didn't. And seriously, by now I DID NOT CARE anymore who she picked, the ship was sucking the life out of the show. And other stupid stuff happened, so I threw in the towel.
I always suspected that the problem was that at that point in time they were trying to stretch out a story that seriously has a beginning and an end, and only so much PLOT to go from one to the other (the big problem with US series in general... lack of a definite end point hurts narrative). I heard that things improved once the end date was set but by then I didn't want anything to do with Lost.
And then time passed, and I stopped hating it on principle, and a good friend of mine from work is a huge fan (I have a bet going with him over whether Sawyer will survive the finale... if he dies, my friend has to treat me to a belgian waffle breakfast... now, I love Sawyer, but I'm about 99.9% sure that he's TOTALLY gonna die heroically), and then they promised Boone and I caved.
