So..."The Lost Room"?

[trinityofone]

I'm assuming there was discussion of this, which I missed because of my recent "This one goes to 11 (p.m.)" work week, so I hope nobody minds if I just pose this query:

Wha? What the hell happened at the end there? I loved the build up, so the end was totally like a giant balloon deflating for me. Why weren't there any consequences for Joe killing the occupant? Why did any of that actually bring Anna back? How come there was such a stupid non-resolution to the Ruber/Detective Bridgewater plot? Was it just me, or did the guy who played Ruber totally wish he were Gary Oldman? Why wasn't there more Roger Bart, who I enjoyed an insane amount? Are they planning a sequel, or what?

*grumble grumble grouse*

Anyway.

Unrelated: vassilissa brings the awesome. Or the awesomely terrifying, take your pick.

ETA: kuwdora brings the other awesome. (Well, she linked to it. *g*) House/Wilson is totally canon, yo! Well, kinda. (Minor S3 spoilers.)

ETA2: Even more awesome via wychwood. I AM INFAMOUS. And I love sgastoryfinders.

I said that three times to the people I was watching with and they didn't get it at all.

Well, I was shouting it to an empty room, so...

But we are SO right.

Questions are good. But to be all like, "There will be CONSEQUENCES if you do this! Big, scary consequences!" and then not even hint at them...what's with that? Not to mention that Joe is still apparently wanted for murder and kidnapping...WTF?

Yes! And we still have Oldman The Prophet running around, and if Joe's an object -- as well as wanted for murder and why wasn't there a pile of stuffed animals and other accumulated stuff when he finally found Anna? -- shouldn't he be different? The Occupant didn't sound like a really sane guy after he because the Occupant but apparently Peter Krause's easy confidence beats off impending insanity?

Just -- way, way too fast. There should've been an extra ten minutes at least to give some consequences.

Although, I was very happy when we didn't get the Outer Limits/Twighlight Zone ending I was dreading. I didn't need the nightmares.

(The real) Gary Oldman would actually make a pretty awesome prophet, I think.

Yes, yes, yes—I likewise want answers to all the questions you pose. Because seriously, what's up with there being all this build up to "uh-oh, you are an object now" and then nothing changes?

I was also anticipating/dreading an ending where Joe saves Anna and she doesn't know him anymore, so yeah, I guess we should be thankful that it didn't end like that. Or were you envisioning something WORSE?
