Lost Surf Couple More Adventurous Off Screen

Yes, we are still talking Lost, but barely.

The Lost season premiere was a total bummer, wasn't it? Seriously, this show is so close to going X-Files. We are not-so-anxiously awaiting JJ Abrams announcement of a feature length Lost movie. Despite our disappointment, we are going to give the show another shot tonight, we just have too much invested in it to give up on season three so soon, but a couple more weeks of Days of our Lives style episodes and we are done.

In the meantime, thankfully, Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly's real life Hawaiian beach adventures look much more interesting than their lives on the show. The duo hangs out at Mokuleia Beach Park, a twelve-acre beach park complete with restrooms, showers, camping sites, parking, and plenty of surfing. Thing is the surf here can be down right dangerous.

High surf generates dangerous water conditions, including powerful shorebreaks, longshore currents, rip currents, and backwashes sweeping across the foreshore. The high surf season normally occurs during the winter and spring months, beginning in October and ending in May. There are no lifeguards anywhere along the beach.

Seriously, these two should mix in a visit to the North Shore Surf Museum or something to ratchet down the danger factor. Then again, maybe the danger excites them. Ah, who are we kidding these photos are all posed right? JJ Abrams probably set up these shots himself to deflect from his obvious case of writers block.

What's this guys problem?

Days of our lives? Disappointment? Obviously the writer would like mother nipple to imbibe him with a warm stream of yawn that the rest of television offers these days.  No other show has the depth of social dynamic as Lost does, but we'd likely rather trade that in for the sweet murmurs of a teeny bopper tearjerker or, better yet, a clone of a clone of a clone of a crime scene melodrama.  The sad thing is he is not alone. Many people would rather trade character depth for "skillfully distracting" but ultimately shallow "nuance" sprinkled with just the right amount of "quirk" (watch Grey's Anatomy lately?), they'd discard the necessary sociological explorations for "flavor of the month" pseudopsychological tripe.  

Lost shows us in Seasons 2 and 3 (which are so much better and infinitely deeper than than the wholly sophomoric and allegedly "thrilling" season 1) where our ROLES and our ability/inability to fill such (Jack and his issues of control, with self/family/current social group; Charlie and his co-dependency requiring him to subtly suffocate the life out of everyone he loves under the gossamer mask of believing he's "helping" them) are/and can very well be more important than who's **ing who or what Dullard the Disinteresting is "feeling" on every other occasion.  We see the roots of true conflict.  Disappointing, i say American viewership is disappointing.  No, let's all go watch Jack Bauer blow up a submarine with his firearm under the guise of a taught "thinking mans" actioneer or the chicks on Gilmore Girls engage in verbal masturbation for an hour... right...


Ok, I will give you this much...

Last night's episoe was damn good, as Locke centric episodes usually are.

Locke and the sweat hut?  The Desmond twist?  All great stuff.  It just wears on me that this show continues to add new twists without resolving old twists, maybe I am just stupid.  Oh well, now there is a game plan.  Locke is going to put a posse together and save his friends...now if the creators could just stick to it and not leave it open ended until season 4.
