The Lost Room is sci-fi thriller that manages to entertain and stay fresh throughout the entire series. Peter Krause plays a very believable character who I could not help but feel sorry for as he desperately tries to find his lost daughter. The plot of the miniseries managed to stay fresh I felt compelled to finish watching even though I felt that the end result of the series was predictable. However, I did enjoy how the antagonist of the show kept changing as the show developed its characters and plot. Kevin Pollak played a very interesting antihero who I also pitied for the sad circumstances that he found himself in, but I did not agree with or like the way he chose to go about solving his problem. Which is why by the end of the series I did not care what happened to him or what would become of his son. Dennis Christopher also took a turn at playing the villain in this series. I enjoyed watching this character at first but I felt as the show progressed that he became unnecessary to the plot of the show and I found the thought of him being a prophet ridiculous and unneeded. Another notion of this show that I felt was unneeded was the love interest between Peter Krause's character (Joe Miller) and Julianna Margulies' character (Jennifer Bloom). I enjoyed watching their characters relationship as it developed on screen but I felt that it should not have taken the romantic turn that it did and instead should of stayed with a partnership that both characters pulled off so well. I also felt the show did not use all of the tools they had at hand with such a large amount of mysterious objects and literally an unlimited amount of creativity most of the objects were dull and predictable. I will mention the glass eye and the pen that were interesting and fresh but as far as the rest go I was not very surprised or interested. Overall, I did enjoy watching the show but I felt that it fell short of what how good it could have possibly been.
... View MoreNO SPOILERS. Although this mini series is 100 percent awesome. There is some confusion, or aggravation about the ending. The story fleshes out main themes of the bible. First, the 'object' if human means immortality - the son of God. If one tries to become immortal by using the objects, they are not. The objects merely give the illusion of immortality - illusion/deceit is work of the devil.Thus the materialism vs honourableness theme appears. Second, the ambiguity of the room requires faith. The how and why mirror the how and why of the existence of human beings, and the search for something that may or may not exist.Third, the experiments on room 9. They r trying to become god and therefore are banished to hell. ie. the woman ghost in agony.Fourth, the occupant. This is the hardest one of all to understand and took me a while. He was Jesus. He suffered for our sins. He had all his possessions taken away. He wore only white and was there both times when the experiment on door 9 took place, as divine intervention. As the anointed one. which is why he had his past erased. because he is meant to do Gods work...not to have a family life. Five, the reason the room resets is because it is a place of purity, it is the garden of Adam and Eve, why do you think there is a bed in the room??????
... View MoreThere are a bunch of objects that belong in the motel room. Each of them give you a power. There are different groups of people that have different beliefs about the room, whether they are the remains of God or just to be used by God. The reasoning behind these objects are unclear, and they don't go really too deep into the whole God thing. But the thing that brings all these Motel room together is key.And everything works under a certain line of rules. The mystery and the epic evolves around these objects. It's impressive that they made a mini-series that just involve simple objects and made them so interesting. The story centers around a single man who lost his daughter in the room. Like us he is discovering the history behind the objects like we are.Overall, this is a great epic that is intriguing and well written. I strongly suggest this show for those who love adventures and discovery.
... View Moreso here I am watching and loving this mini-series, and what happens at the end? I don't know! It doesn't end. There is no resolution. No "coming together." No real questions answered. No meaning of the legion and "Rube." I am so frustrated with the mini series. SciFi owes the viewing public an explanation and an apology. This was a great premise-fun to watch and totally absorbing. I couldn't get enough until the lousy ending. And, when Kevin Pollack changes eyes, where is all the blood? Where was Anna? Why did the legion not fight back when Joe was in the vault? How did John Doe end up an object? Why was room "9" an evil room? So many questions unanswered and left out reason.
