Review of The Lost Room

The Lost Room (2006)
6/10
Another SciFi series with a great start and a poor ending

Warning: Spoilers
Don't get me wrong. The series was a great ride. It started great, just like other series do (e.g. Lost, Fringe) and just like them, opened up a number of possibilities. But alas -unfortunately- just like them, it had such a disappointing ending! So many answers remained unexplained.

The story begins with a mystery room, a motel's room number 10, that can only be accessed via a special key. There's a hunt for this key and the room's objects which all have magical properties. So the hunt continues for 5 great episodes. And then you got the ending.

Spoilers follow: Who was this character in the room? Why was he "chosen" to be another "object"? Why should he die? Why didn't the main character remain in the room as the future "object"? What was this room? How did it all start? What happened to the Order and the Legion who were seeking the objects? These are a few of the questions that remain unanswered, leaving the viewer dissatisfied and -quite frankly- angry with the show.

Just like I said, a great ride, with a horrific (not in a fun way) destination.
