The Lost Room - Episode 3 - The Eye and the Prime Object

The big finale of "The Lost Room". I should never ever trust shows with the word "LOST" in them. It reminds me of another show that runs around in circles and doesn't answer any questions.

I think this was just a 6 hour pilot. At the end, there are so many open ends, that it really leaves you wanting more episodes, which I believe is the point. Damn television and its incessant need to keep you watching like a crack addict or inserting money endlessly like a gambling casino. Why can't you tell a normal story like a novel, with a beginning, middle and end? Have you heard of a resolution or end?

Anyway, if this were a 6 hour pilot, awesome. It leaves it so open for some great plots and TV series gold. Since this is the end of a miniseries with no continuing story line, I was very disappointed. It left too many open ends and too many unanswered questions. If you are baited into believing that all will be revealed in the last hour or so, you would be wrong. Nothing essentially is answered.

Although, surprise, our main character gets what he wants. He does the unthinkable twice during the story and we're just not sure where that leaves him. I was very upset at the end of this. I want answers. Instead we're left scratching our heads and the ideas are "left open to interpretation" like some hack writer didn't know how to come up with the answer themselves. My husband liked it. He also liked LOST which I ultimately was annoyed with but followed along because I wanted to see what would happen. Ultimately nothing really happened but OK whatever I gave up a long time ago and was just along for the ride.

In the end, I feel like this photo. Sitting next to a blank TV thinking, what the hell just happened and what did I get myself into? Confusion, disappointment and left all alone in an empty room. If the series continued, I might watch out of curiosity like I did with LOST. Although, just like LOST, I'll just be along for the ride without my head or heart invested in it. Thanks for disappointing me and making me feel lost, Lost Room.
