You know what's funny is I loved Charlie Salinger, too (always a Charlie fan over a Bailey fan), but I HATED Jack throughout the series. Juliet softened me towards him a little, but my hate for him surged over and over until the end of the show. Just when I wouldn't hate him as much (like in S5, when he started letting Sawyer be the brains of the outfit only to tell Kate that he'd rather erase their entire life together), he would do something that made me want to kill him all over again. So, yeah, Jack was hard for me on a lot of levels; he was a great protagonist.
As for Boone--I never really shipped Boone and Shannon until way after the fact (I enjoyed Shannon/Sayid and was really thrilled when they found each other again), but I have written a couple ficlets about them. The biggest thing about rewatches is you have time to appreciate things more, when you're not puzzling out all the brain-melty things, and upon rewatch Boone and Shannon's chemistry is incredible (Ian and Maggie dated, you know), so it's impossible not to ship them even if it's the most horribly dysfunctional thing ever.
I don't care for MR either, which affects my response to her in film and TV, I'm sure. The only thing I've ever liked her in is Avatar, which is hard for me because I love The Fast and the Furious franchise--but I like the movies without her better, LOL.
I haven't watched BB--I have issues with the drug dealer aspect of it. Some shows I just can't watch because of morality issues I have with it. I'm sure the acting is brilliant, however.
[Still watching the LOST finale, and I just have to mention how interesting it is that Eloise knows the truth, but she doesn't want Desmond to make Daniel remember because she wants to spend more time with him there in the Sideways--so she knows it's not real, and she chooses to stay there, which is another incredible layer I never picked up on before. I'm totally crying right now though because Claire is giving birth and Kate is remembering and AUGH, I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.]
