When is enough, enough? When is it all just ... too ... much ... information? By Paul Honda So I see on the TV guide that Lost is on tonight. Despite weeks of nonstop plugs, I can't remember if this is the start of the program's 16 all-new, original (no rerun) episodes. So, after Leahey and Leahey, I switch over to ABC. Well, well. It's a "Guide to 'Lost'" ... disappointing, but at least it's something new. Sort of. The two producers, a young smarmy guy with an annoying grin, and an older guy who seems more likable, are narrating. And I find myself watching, though not truly intrigued because they are giving us their own descriptions, phrases and even definitions of what makes the show tick. I'm left thinking, what if the things that work for me mean nothing to these two guys, and vice-versa? It has the tact and finesse of a "'Lost' for Dummies" book ... which is great if you've never seen the show. And thus, the new "season" of Lost premieres after this guide episode. Am I antsy? Just a bit. About them letters full of intentions: Yeah, they signed them in Kapolei, they signed them in Kahuku, they signed them at Kalaepohaku. Near and far, student-athletes signed letters of intent to play college sports. Surprises? Not really, if you've been paying attention. Should Sione Tau have stayed true to Arizona? Not if his heart was divided, which it was. Over the weekend, and over the last few days, he was split evenly between Arizona and Colorado, as I wrote in Sunday's Star-Bulletin. So, he made his choice this morning as he walked into Kapolei Hale, and the rest will be history. Or so it seems. Elsewhere, no big surprises. If anything, fans are waiting to hear on the players who are still waiting themselves to hear from coaches. That list, surprisingly, is quite long. And that means there are more Division I-quality athletes who will either a) remain patient or b) run out of patience and take that slot at a small college. Nothing wrong either way. Personally, I'd just find a way (beg?) for a chance to walk on at UH. Pride be damned. Pit stop: Roast pork plate, Hukilau Cafe, nice. Heaping portion of tender pork, with gravy. Not a big fan of mac salad, but hey, it went pretty good with the gravy. Rating: 3.5 stars (out of 4) Hukilau Cafe has done it again. No wonder I keep going back.
