:) When did you stop originally? I was talking about this with abigail_n the other day: one of the reasons why I never broke it off with Lost was that while I liked the show all the way back in season 1, I wasn't in love with it, plus I watched the first three seasons on dvd, which meant I didn't have to wait for weeks for a good episode but could know that after a weak one, the next one was right on the dvd. And I could see the plots unfold at greater speed. This was doubly fortunate because by the time I started to watch real time, i.e. week after week, it was season 4 with its radical change of premise which rejuvinated the show. By now I do love it. But whether this would have happened had I loved it in season 1 and watched it in real time during s2, I can't say...
