Started watching cause of the good reviews. My opinion, my personal opinion: the series is nonsense. Complete nonsense in script and acting.Objects: A "magic comb" that stops time, a "magic clock" - woo spooky... I should mention that the objects are absolutely non-interesting that can make you go: "wow how clever is that!"Acting: Not only the scenario is nonsense, but also seems like the actors don't pay any attention to acting: neither surprised of all the magic happening around (which may be surprising for the policeman), nor interested in everything around. The characters are not written fully, you do not understand where they come from and where is their motivation in finding "objects".Script: I read in someone's review already that it is so "high school", the love line is obvious from the first glance, basically everything is obvious. Even the parent-children line that is supposed to hook you up and make you feel something strong, just doesn't do it. It is not believable (because of the actors or fine written characters - I don't know).It is that kind of series that are shown on cable at night. Emmy nominee - don't know how they got there...

DO NOT READ MY REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE SERIES TO THE END!!!! From the start it became clear the people who wrote this must've been trying to fight being religious and scientific, which in one way was interesting, but because The Event, which the WHOLE series is based around is never explained it ends up killing the whole show. We have no clue about why the objects do what they do, and with how the show ended with a cliff-hanger of sorts it left far too many questions and not enough answers. Like what happened to Ruber or Miller...shame. Maybe they had thought they were gonna have the option to do a full series or another mini series and it didn't happen. In the end i feel like I wasted a lot of time.

You may recognize (if you are an ancient computer nerd like me - or you like computer game trivia) the first line of one of the first computer text "adventure" games (technically called "Colossal Cave Adventure" http://jerz.setonhill.edu/if/canon/Adventure.htm ). I found this mini-series a bit like one of those games, where the protagonist Joe Miller discovers the "magical" properties of objects and novel ways to use them partly by trial and error (getting slammed from the sky in Gallup NM a bunch of times) or by his own cleverness. I appreciated the fact that this series was more cerebral than a lot of the shoot-em-up scifi genre ("space opera" based).Unlike some other reviews I thought this series was perfectly written, executed, and wrapped-up - with Joe's story basically finished, but the "door left open" (literally) for future story-lines.Another great thing about this series concept, like Stargate or others, is that the premise allows for the story to wander into many wild new environs and circumstances since the objects are so varied in type and usage. So writing opportunities for this series are endless - and I hope we have not seen the end.I might have liked to see more of the various "Cabals" and their philosophies and rituals explored - as that seems to mostly have occurred in the blog-o-sphere.SciFy - bring back "The Lost Room" !!

so 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.
