Aside from the hair, didn't Boone look different?

I think it was his eyes. They didn't seem to be as blue or as pronounced as they were on the island. Thoughts?

he looked poorer, like he wasn't getting a regular paycheck or something

He did look a little different. Whenever you're outside, you're eyes are going to look lighter. They did a great job on making him look a little younger....even though it was just 2 years.

Well the reason he may have looked poorer was because that was before he was working for his mother. THE JERK MOTHER! Grrr.

Ugh, I'm so glad she didn't have any influence on him. She is a horrible person.
