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.

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?
