The Lost Room
by tdaxp ~ January 19th, 2008
On John Robb’s web rec I’m watching the Lost Room, a Sci-Fi original program that’s actually quite good. John compares it to LOST, but it’s closer in theme and structure to the Ninth Gate. Uneven, but often quite good.

We watched that a little while ago. I like it. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't longer. I thought they could have stretched it into a season long thing without sacrificing quality. As it is, it gets a little crammed in at the end.

Biz,
Agreed. Characterization was flat throughout, and a number of times I thought that if you could dedicate a show to each of the major players (such as LOST's first season), the hook would have been in deeper.
Still, whenever you think about a movie with “I wanted more!,” you can tell that it was basically good.
