OT: The Lost Room (Sci-Fi Miniseries)

I saw it and loved it. For TV, a surprisingly original concept exceptionally well done. Although some of the characters were stock, many were multi dimensional with good and bad points, flaws, quirks and strengths. The lead character, though no doubt a great father, good cop and good citizen could be ruthless when required. I expected him to cave in several times, but he never gave more than the absolute minumum to accomplish the task and had no qualms about getting rid of a helper when done with him. Very real life.

My only disappointment was the ending. However, if they plan a series for the future, it makes perfect sense.

Yeah, it was a lot like Friday the 13th with better acting and plot from the last bits that I caught. I didn't really get a handle on the powers of the objects though and how they worked, why they related to each other aside from the most obvious ways, etc, but I found the scene where the guy cut his own eyeball out to be especially chilling, without being visually over the top gore. Definitely better than another giant snake marathon.

I was diappointed with the ending, and that can only be rectified by either another mini series run, or a TV series.

There were three episodes of two hours each.

Wenin, I feel much the same as you do. I was slightly disappointed in the ending. I believe they ended the show as they did so that if it was successful they would have room (no pun intended) for a possible TV series or another mini series.
